Why did Tyra Banks have a nose job? (pic)?

Question

http://www.xanga.com/xoxo705

Doesn't she seem like a hypocrite when she wants African American women to have high self-esteem. How can an African American girl with a wide, ethnic nose feel good about herself when all the black celebrities are having surgery to make their noses look caucasion?

Also, why does she dye her hair blonde?

Answer 1

cah she wanna be white ya get me? naw meen still..

Answer 2

My God, that's digusting - I don't know why her and other black women want to get these tiny micheal jackson style noses. They look completely wrong for their faces. You should embarce the features of your culture

But having some family that are jamican, I notice that there is in some cultures, a kind of racism against their own colour. My sister inlaw prides her self that she has a lighter baby and doesn't let them go in the sunshine in case they turn blacker?!

Answer 3

It is any worse then me dying my hair dark brown and getting a tan? I'm not trying to be less caucation, it just suits me better.

Answer 4

I don't see anyone complaining when a white woman dyes her hair black. Why do you care what colour her hair is?

Tyra talked about her blonde WEAVE on her show that had an audience full of black women and had a discussion on black women for the entire show. She said that her hair does not define who she is. Well said. She said that when she was little she wanted long flowing blonde hair because that's what was in movies etc. while she was growing up. Who cares? She's still an African American. Nothing is going to change that. African American women can STILL look up to her, regardless of her hair colour.

The nose job thing? Women of all cultures have insecurities. If Tyra got a nose job, then presumably her insecurity was her nose. Some women get liposuction. Some people get breast implants. If you want to say, "How can an African American girl with a wide, ethnic nose feel good about herself when all the black celebrities are having surgery to make their noses look caucasion?" then I can say, "How can Pamela Anderson get such large breast implants? She makes all white women with small b*****s feel inadequate." That's not true. Pamela's b*****s don't make me feel less of a woman. I can't see how a nation of young African American women would feel any less beautiful because of Tyra getting a nose job. I didn't even notice she got one and I'm a huge fan of hers.

If you think hair colour and nose jobs define a person, you need to work on that old self esteem for a while. I'm sure your nose is very beautiful and you don't need to obsess over Tyra's new nose to know that you're NOT inadequate. You're a normal woman. Tyra is a supermodel. Everyone holds unrealistic expectations for her beauty. Her JOB requires her to be beautiful. Our jobs don't.

Answer 5

Another Michael Jackson but less freaky. Hypocrisy abound.

Answer 6

I thought the same thing about Beyonce.  She is and was so beautiful, but she has had small bits of surgery on her nose and chin and cheek implants, and now she has "the Hollywood face" and looks JUST like everyone else out there that had the exact same work done.  

I say, don't mess with at good thing.

I guess that when you are in the spotlight, every flaw becomes a big deal to you, and there are so many plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills telling how much better you would look if only...  They have made everyone look the same.

It's sad.

I don't mind it when women of color try blond hair though.  Why shouldn't they get the chance to experiment like white women?  Some look great as blondes or redheads, even though you know it came from a bottle.

Answer 7

Because the other kind of jobs didnt were a flop!!!

Cheers!!!

Answer 8

i never even noticed

Answer 9

She doesn't dye her hair!

Answer 10

cause she's a hypocrite who makes money off of lemmings who believe everything she says.

as hypocritical as her friend oprah.

i'd like to see tara do a show on why she got a nosejob and breast implants.

Answer 11

Why don't you ask her publicist.......

Answer 12

Maybe because she didn't like her nose before, and she wants to have blonde hair.

Answer 13

why is the sky blue?

Answer 14

I don't like her current nose. It looks too thinned out on the sides and too flat. I really don't understand why some black people feel compelled to have their noses mutilated this way. Another black woman, Janet Jackson, now has a nose that is too short and her nostrils are too big. Both of these women had noses that looked perfectly fine originally. The sad thing is that their noses don't look more "white". I'm a white person and my nose definitely doesn't look like that. My nose may be thinner than a black person's but it is also longer and I don't have huge nostrils like what often results when black celebrities have nose jobs.

Answer 15

People of all ethnicities have wide noses and very long bird beak noses. And people get nose jobs, especially in Hollywood where everything is fake.

I've seen black people with naturally small and medium noses and good faces like Vanessa Williams, Liya Kebede, Robin Givens, Iman, Beverly Johnson and the list goes on. There's nothing wrong with looking like these women because they are beautiful.  There's no need to generalize everyone and say everyone looks the way you believe they should look.

As for Tyra Banks being a hypocrite about getting plastic surgery, I scarcely watch her show. If she's always trashing other people for getting plastic surgery, and she went out and got it herself then that's hypocritical. As for the blonde hair, I don't know what is up with that? But it's her nose and her head, so she can do what she wants.

But I don't want to hear her telling anyone else anything about how they should look or act.  Lots of women of every ethnicity and from all over the world can be themself, and celebrate it, and look however they want to look.

Answer 16

Yeah okay

But can we please mind our own business and problems

Answer 17

Oh man I didn't even notice!!! Tyra is a big hypocrit and thats why I dont watch her show.
