Tyra Banks heads to Harvard and expands her brand
2:37 PMTyra Banks has done many things in career from having her televisions shows. Now the former supermodel is gearing up for her two big things to add to her resume: student and author. Tyra is currently enrolled in Harvard University and is prepping for the release of her new book Modelland. She recently spoke with ABC about her her book and impending dorm life.
If you thought her description of the world of Modelland was strange, just read the book's synopsis.
No one gets in without being asked. And with her untamable hair, large forehead, and gawky body, Tookie De La Crème isn’t expecting an invitation. Modelland—the exclusive, mysterious place on top of the mountain—never dares to make an appearance in her dreams.
But someone has plans for Tookie. Before she can blink her mismatched eyes, Tookie finds herself in the very place every girl in the world obsesses about. And three unlikely girls have joined her.
Only seven extraordinary young women become Intoxibellas each year. Famous. Worshipped. Magical. What happens to those who don’t make it? Well, no one really speaks of that. Some things are better left unsaid.
Thrown into a world where she doesn’t seem to belong, Tookie glimpses a future that could be hers—if she survives the beastly Catwalk Corridor and terrifying Thigh-High Boot Camp. Or could it? Dark rumors like silken threads swirl around the question of why Tookie and her new friends were selected . . . and the shadows around Modelland hide sinister secrets.
Are you ready? Modelland is waiting for you. . . .
