Tyra Banks, ever the inventive entrepreneur, has decided to launch her own Magaline — which is a Magazine that one reads Online, get it? Launched to coincide with the season premiere of her daytime TV talk show, The Tyra Banks Show, Tyra‘s magaline promises to augment the things she will cover on her show … it even comes with it’s own manifesto:
When I first imagined this new “MagaLine,” I envisioned a place of genuine connection. So as far as I’m concerned, the TYRABANKS.COM manifesto is OUR manifesto.
Yours, mine, ours.
And this is what we pledge…
to celebrate uniqueness.
to know when to cut the hair.
to welcome great advice.
to know that smart is always sexy.
to know that sexy is very good.
to really “get” the body and skin that we are in.
to seek beauty in everything.
to know what colors work (and which ones are better on someone else).
to accept constructive criticism.
to practice the art of the “smize.”
to appreciate original style. (Especially our own).
to laugh at ourselves a little more than every now and then.
to dream. BIG.
to take more pictures.
to constantly evolve.
to cherish true friendship.
to be the CEO of our lives.
to be more confident and self loving.
to know when to rock a trend, and when to act like it never happened.
to ignore the haters. What haters?
to know how to “beat” our own face.
to know how to do a smoky eye.
to live more healthy: mind, body and spirit.
to know that some things that happen to us aren’t our fault.
to keep believing in love.
to know that every hallway is a runway.
to work crazy hard for what we want.
to be beautiful, truly beautiful, inside and out.
Fierce & Love,
Tyra Banks
Founder / Creative Director/ Chief Dreamer
Uh … I think she forgot one much needed line of this audacious manifesto:
to make me laugh my ass off.
I mean … seriously? Basically, Tyra‘s magaline is an online presence where she can share the stuff she cannot share on her TV show or expand on topics covered … it’s a blog, let’s call it what it is. I understand the vibe she is trying to go for by posting this manifesto but offering such lofty heights only makes the whole endeavor seem silly. Tyra, it’s a blog … deal with it.

To boldly go where no man has gone…
To dance like nobody’s watching…
To vomit…but only if it’s authentic…
I wonder if Tyra really wants to share and empower young woman, or if it’s all driven by greed.
so she doesnt call it a blog…big deal. she’s always been one to be a little…different.
either way…season 5 of her show is goin pretty good so far.
I am so glad “our” manifesto includes How to do a smoky eye. Because life can just not be lived to the fullest with out a smoky eye.
Aww cmon I think you’re being too hard on her. She’s doing great things for young women. Many young girls/women suffer from lack of self esteem due to body issues and I think to see someone as beautiful as Tyra celebrating differences is a big plus. How many other supermodels are doing anything to better people? Naiomi could give two craps less about anyone other than herself.
Bettering people? By having Perez on her show …
I definitley don’t know how to “beat” my own face, Chief Dreamer.

All right, cynicism aside, that is a nice manifesto.

WTF does it mean to “beat our own face”???
Oh, honestly, Tyra. Enough is enough.
You’re the best Trent!
