Yesterday, the 12th of August 2012, I had the chance to meet the Queen of Smizes and Booty Tooches, Tyra Banks, at the Asia's Next Top Model Press Conference. The event was held at Equarius Hotel and Beach Villas, Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore. Though the event started at such an early hour, I somehow had the energy to get out of the bed and get ready for the event after having 4 hours worth of sleep.
On the way there, I thought it all was over when my car started to overheat. I only realized this when smoke started to appear from the bonnet. I was thinking... What happens if my car dies halfway. I definitely would not have been able to see her. Thankfully, it didn't.
At the press conference, Tyra addressed many questions asked from the Press. Though Top Model, she really has a good business mindset. As founder and producer of the America's Next Top Model series, she addressed issues concerning model sizes, model trends, why the industry expects these standards from models and how lucrative will it be in Asia. It was great seeing a different side to her as compared to her on screen. It shows she really cares a lot for models in the industry and how she wants to change the mindset of society towards the size 0 models.
The event ended within 15 minutes where she was escorted out with her body guards. It was a pity that we didn't get to take photos with her. But oh well... that's the life of a celebrity...
