Tyra Banks Writes Modelland: The Harry Potter Of Modeling

Jul 25, 2011 By Amy

Tyra Banks is officially out of her mind. In an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America, Banks went on to talk about her new book, Harvard dorm life (yup, this model is back in school), and her admiration of Walt Disney, along with her modeling franchise show- America’s Next Top Model (ANTM). If

you can’t keep up with all of this, don’t fret…she’s a hard one to follow (literally).

With her new writing endeavor, “Modelland” we can get inside Banks’ head, which is crazier than first imagined. Coming out around the same time as ANTM’s new fall season (this show is still on?), you can follow four girls as they enter modeling school to become “Intoxibellas.” Centered around the awkward Tookie De La Crème, the book takes readers on an adventure to Modelland- a mysterious mountain top where magical modeling happens. Yes, you heard right, actual MAGIC will be taking place… Could this be the modeling version of Harry Potter?

In anticipation of the book’s debut, Tyra held a guerilla photoshoot for the book the same day as her interview, where the four modeling characters appear to channel super heros with Tyra in the lead (of course). The book’s description reads, “Thrown into a world where she doesn’t seem to belong, Tookie glimpses a future that could be hers—if she survives the beastly Catwalk Corridor and terrifying Thigh-High Boot Camp. Or could it? Dark rumors like silken threads swirl around the question of why Tookie and her new friends were selected . . . and the shadows around Modelland hide sinister secrets.”

There’s so much action that Modelland will actually be a trilogy, spanning across three installments. But that might not be all, later in her interview Banks talked about her admiration for Walt Disney and how she one day dreams of Modelland becoming an amusement park.

I’m not sure if the world is ready for Modelland just yet, but you can pre-order the book now and see more of Tyra on MyFDB.
