Banks: "Don't Touch Me Up"
7/3/06
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."
