Tyra Banks, ANTM, and Modelland
Tyra Banks:
Tyra Banks is a supermodel who has made a name for herself via her many business ventures, including her launch of the hit show America’s Next Top Model. Tyra was discovered as a teenager after her mother took several photos of her for her portfolio. Tyra was most noted for her runway personality, her “SMIZE” (smile with her eyes), and her curvy body as a Victoria’s Secret Model. Tyra played Eve in the movie Life Size which was the first movie Lindsay Lohan ever starred in. Eve was a Barbie doll who was brought to life after Lilo’s character used the book of the dead to perform a magic ritual to bring her deceased mother back to life. Tyra has also admitted that her role on ANTM and the Tyra Banks Show isn’t who she “really is” as a person, but rather a character she created. She says in reality she is timid and non-confrontational. I could go on and on about the various photo shoots Tyra has done and the mountain of symbolism, but for the sake of the reader, I am going to move on to ANTM and her book, Modelland.
It is worth noting that Tyra is in the process of creating a real life Modelland in California. Read about it here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2799609002
America’s Next Top Model (ANTM):
I know... I know. Most people on this forum think pop culture is lame and stay away from it. I will admit at times I am more of an “obsessed” with the culture type of person. Not that I fawn over celebrities, I think they are stupid, but I am obsessed with unscrambling the puzzle. I look for symbolism in everything and get obsessed. I have been watching America’s Next Top Model lately and on Cycle 16 (I think?) they make a motion picture for Tyra’s book Modelland. Watching the scenes for the shoot I realized the book was very strange and had many common themes I have come to know from VC. I decided to start reading the book and it is VERY symbolic. Now ANTM bothers me at times because they are so unbelievably inhumane towards the contestants, but then again that is the way of this industry. They even tell the girls their job is to perform and entertain and they all are expendable. That modeling is not “about them and their comfort”, it’s taking what you’re given and selling it. The contestants pose underwater, with raw meat (one contestant was vegan), with wild animals, on top of some of the tallest buildings in the world during a massive storm, with spiders, snakes, etc. The photo shoots and runways are extremely traumatizing and make them confront many humans deepest fears for a chance at fame. Several runway challenges are held hundreds of feet in the air on runways with no railing and often wobbling from the wind. In one runway they literally walk off of a beam in a construction site. They often put the girls in uncomfortable clothing and belittle them if they complain. On several occasions they are made to walk in too small of shoes. In one episode the girls are out in wool outfits in the middle of summer and the rooms are kept hot, several of the models nearly passed out and had to sit during deliberation. Shannon from Cycle 1 was well known for not posing nude. She was picked on by the judges in both Cycle 1 and Cycle 16 (the all stars cycle) because they thought she was a hypocrite because she would pose in swimwear. Most of the contestants experience a mental breakdown at some point during the competition due to being forced into facing their deepest fears.
The motion picture for Modelland was used to announce the winner of ANTM for that season. All of the finalists filmed a winning scene where they removed their gold mask to show the winners face. This scene was used to announce Lisa as the winner of that cycle.
Modelland:
The book is very clearly a retelling of Tyra’s experience becoming a model. The main character, Tookie, is meant to represent Tyra. In Tyra’s motion picture, all of the girls state “My name is (their name), and I am Tookie.” At the end Tyra says “my name is Tyra, and I am Tookie.” The book follows Tookie in her journey to become an Intoxibella, which is a direct reference to both Tyra becoming a supermodel and Tyra making other girls models through ANTM. As I read this book, there is no doubt in my mind that Tyra is an MK slave and she is helping the elite create more slaves through her show. ANTM is in over 200 countries and has had 23 cycles in the US. This book is Tyra’s way of telling the world her story, just as so many other celebrities do by “hiding the truth in plain sight.”
The intro of the book explicitly states that the book is a work of fiction and any correlations to real life events is merely a “coincidence”. Despite this, the book is very much a work of nonfiction. Metopia is a perfect representation of the USA, where it is described as being massive, having lots of climates and resources, and being controlled by politicians and factory owners (billionaires).
The first page of the book suggests that the elite of Metopia are rumored to bathe in blood to keep their eternal youth. Despite these rumors, girls all over Metopia wait for their opportunity to be chosen. Obviously this is a direct representation of ANTM. The book states that all girls want to be chosen, whether they admit it or not.
The mountain where Modelland sits is covered in a gold fog. The book states that “they all knew was a bright eye shining in the sky”
Tookie’s mom is obsessed with a baby doll. She favors Tookie’s sister, The Myrracle. Tookie is deemed a “Forgetta-Girl” because nobody ever notices her.
The most famous Intoxibella in the world, Ci~L, has gone missing. There is no word of where she disappeared to. A news anchor suggests “the news is that she went on hiatus. However, rumors have been swirling that she was abducted, had an airborne terminal illness, or a mental breakdown.” She grew up in a home without a single mirror and “one can only assume how that might psychologically impact a person as they reach adulthood.”
In Metopia there is a region called LaDorno where only the richest of rich can live. The residents of LaDorno have to pass extensive and invasive tests in order to live there. The counsel of Metopia interview friends, family, and acquaintances as well as check bank statements to see what kind of purchases are made. The only people who get to live in LaDorno without these tests are the “sacred souls” whose names end with -Ella.
Hmmmm, seems a little bit like a reference to the RockafELLA’s to me.
Lizzie, Tookie’s only friend, disappears for over a week. Upon returning during a conversation with Tookie, she suddenly drifts off and has a vacant look in her eye. She says, “Tell them to stop. They always say it won’t hurt and then it always does.” She also says “I can handle when they hurt me, but not when they hur Robyn.” Tookie recognizes this dissociative state and says “Lizzie, come back”. Lizzie then reveals a fresh burn mark on her elbow, and grabs a rock and cuts herself. Tookie then realizes Lizzie was taken off to the Shivera Hospital where she was put in the Melancholia Ward, where the patients treatment of each other is ignored and is deemed “worse than the Shivera prison that houses the deadliest of criminals.” The Shivera hospital also “keeps no records, as though it didn’t exist.”
I am still reading this book and will make another post in a few days about further symbolism.
Has anyone else read this book or have any interest in this kind of topic? If not, just use it to know it’s just another way the elite prey on the world. Maybe through this book we can learn more about the workings of the elite, or maybe it will just further confirm what we already know and have been told by so many others in the industry.

Tyra’s book cover for Modelland features a big all seeing eye. She wore a gold wing over her left eye to promote the book on several occasions.
Tyra depicted as a cat, one of the MANY photos in her career of her in leopard print or displayed as a kitten.
Tyra famously portrayed First Lady Michelle Obama in a fashion spread.
Tyra as baphomet, pretty self explanatory.

Models literally posed with a real life cheetah. Many of the girls were terrified.
Models posed in the ocean. One of the contestants had asthma and couldn’t breathe underwater and the judges called this an “excuse”.
