An Oprah-lite Media Empire Built on Smugness



Here's what little I know about Tyra Banks: she used to model swimsuits and she utters the word "empower" more than any being on this or any other planet. She's also a public nuisance: if you happen upon something half-trendy and months-dated in or around New York City — a flash mob reenacting the "Mickey" video, a parade of gals making a statement about ethno-hetero-patriarchal notions of body image by donning fat suits and howling "whooooo!" — she's probably behind it. You see, Tyra is your super-fun big sister! And she's totally accepting of you, no matter how daffy, sweaty, slack-jawed, temperamental, queer or bulimic you may be!
