All Bald Up With No Place To Go

Thanks Tyra

You are truly an inspiration for breaking down so many barriers Tyra. You stripped down to a bikini that was chosen for you by someone else and photographed by a white man. COME ON! I mean...I also realize that it is the "Tyra" show, but all the self indulgent, self absorbed, self promotion has gotten a little bit out of hand. Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and Harriet Tubman would surely join in Tyra's celebration of Black History month if they could, and I am SO sure this is exactly what the men and women who deemed February as Black History Month had in mind as a reason to celebrate when it was created...Tyra Banks talking about her damn self and how young women can have themselves objectified by men. See, this is why she will never be Oprah...because Oprah does not talk about herself in a narcissistic way, nor would Oprah consider posing on a Magazine cover and then bragging about it...mostly because she already owns the magazine and can do what she wants.



PS - Can someone please teach this cow to speak in a less halting manner?
