Tyra Banks Is Ridiculous
Look, I used to love Tyra, and am still sort of fascinated by how ridiculously unaware she is of herself. I mean Christ, I dressed up as her for Halloween last year. But Tyra Banks recently sat down for an interview with almost-corpse Larry King. I should take a Larry/Tyra combo any night as a sleep aid. The only thing that could make this interview more boring would be if the interview took place on a split screen with paint drying on the other side of the TV. Needless to say, I watched the entire thing because sometimes I like to torture myself. It's my version of cutting. King got to the most important topic, which was Tyra's recent 'day without a weave.' She said she felt it was her "responsibility to show as much of my real hair as possible," and said removing her weave represented a political statement for black women. No, it didn't. There's nothing political about a weave. It's just fake hair. How unaware of yourself could you possibly be to think your own hair could make a fucking statement about anything. Michelle Obama…that's a political statement for black women. Tyra taking off her weave is just a statement of what Tyra looks like without a weave. You can't take off your fake hair on national television and call it brave, unless of course you recently lost your real hair in a wildfire or something.
