Tyra Banks joining us on The Bird Show.

How are you this morning?

I'm just great.

You know, in reading over your bio yesterday, I didn't realize how much you really kind of pioneered modeling.

Oh, God, that sounds scary.

Well, first African-American woman to grace the covers of GQ magazine, Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and Victoria's Secret catalog. Yes. Yeah, good for Tyra Banks. Yes. That's a huge accomplishment. Congratulations. Thank you. Is gracing the cover of the Sports Illustrated magazine, like, is that the crown jewel, do you think, in your career? Because, I mean, you constantly hear about the buzz of being on the cover of that magazine. Yeah, I think it really did help a lot. I really think it maybe, you know, everybody in America said, oh, who's that girl, you know? I'm just kind of curious when you're on the cover of Sports Illustrator, or the many covers. How many copies do you buy when you go out to get it? You know, what you do is you ask for them to send you the boxes and boxes. Okay. Oh, okay. All right. That's smart. That must be so cool just like walking down the streets in New York and, you know, you're trying not to look at yourself on a magazine. But damn, there I am. Yeah, exactly. I am. That's got to be the coolest thing. I think that's Tyra Banks, and I think she's walked past my newsstand eight times.

For every, every, you know, photo shoot that you got to do on, like, these exotic locations once you became Tyra Banks, where are some of the places that you had to shoot that you're like, I got to get the hell out of here?

Anywhere with sand and water. I know that sounds crazy, but I hate shooting on a beach. Really? Many beaches I've shot on. The sand just gets all in weird places you have to change in a, you know, with a towel wrapped around you in front of everybody taking pictures of you, you know, like all these tourists and stuff, taking pictures while you change.

So the sun is all bright and killing my eyes and have to look into the sun like it.

Oh, I hate it.

Whenever they show like the Sports Illustrated shoot on ESPN, you know, when they show the video,

there's always like one lucky smiling son of ass-o-b that has the water that has to sprit you guys down that's his job the

spritzing guy what it was gay though he ain't kid on the gay spritzer how much upkeep does it take

what's your daily like regime like what do you do that requires you to look the way you look

and be the way you are because we think you're born that way and we know you are you're gorgeous but but there's got to be like exfoliating all that stuff that we wouldn't do on a normal basis to keep up on I don't really do any of that stuff like that print that um all that prep stuff I don't really do but I do sit in the hair and makeup chair for three and a half hour I've always wondered to let's get facials and all that. I don't really do. But I do sit in the hair and makeup chair for three and a half hour.

I've always wondered to...

But I don't get facials and all that stuff.

I don't do that.

Do you think you're beautiful?

Like, when you look at yourself in the mirror without the makeup on and the hair and everything all done, do you go...

Without it?
