BOOK
Tookie. Intoxibellas. Bestosterone. A smize. All things hailing from Tyra's vivid imagination in her new fantasy book Modelland which was released earlier this month. Yesterday, the supermodel-turned TV host-turned Harvard student-turned author made an appearance at Neiman Marcus in Bal Harbour to a full house of her fans, each of whom received a signed copy of her new novel. (You'd expect the majority to be tween girls but the audience was quite eclectic including everyone from kids to middle-aged married couples to Tyra's favorite 93-year-old wigmaker.)
After encouraging the crowd to their feet and warming everyone up with some silly catalog, couture and sexy poses, Tyra started by stating the obvious. "I’m nervous about Modelland because I’ve never written a fiction book before. But I do know fashion and I do know modeling and I do know storytelling but this is the first of a series so bear with me because it will get better as it goes along."
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Boo.
Boo Who?
Don't cry, it's just the world's cutest dog!
Boo is the most popular pet on the internet. He rose to fame when his owner created a Facebook Fan page and posted some pictures and videos of her precious pooch a few years ago. Today, he's acquired over 1.6 million fans from around the world including celebrities like Nicky Hilton and Khloe Kardashian. (Apparently, cuteness translates into any language.)
Tom Waits has worked with photographer Michael O’Brien to release this illustrated poetry book. O'Brien has already worked with the singer before. He is the one who took the picture that is used as the Glitter and Doom cover. The book called Hard Ground will be released in next March.
You could read on the University of Texas Press website that the book aims to “create a portrait of homelessness that impels us to look into the eyes of people who live "on the hard ground" and recognize our common humanity.” Here are some sample pictures of the book.
