No photoshop for Tyra Banks
Updated: 2006-07-03 14:10
Supermodel-turned-TV presenter Tyra Banks will become the first beauty to ask
editors not to digitally enhance her appearance when she appears on magazine
covers.
The 32-year-old is fed up with the message being sent out to young girls when
they see flawless women in magazines, and she wants the world to see her without
the benefit of computer technology.
Instead, Banks will use make-up and hair extensions to achieve beautiful
looks. A member of the star's company, Bankable Productions, says, "Modeling is
an unreal business, but Tyra wants to make it more real.
"She always tried to get heavier women to take part in America's Next Top
Model - although the industry continues to reject them and the few that get
through are magically transformed into waifs by magazines."
