Tyra Banks visits Naperville on September 15

Do you have model potential? Have you dreamed of walking the runway and "smizing" with your eyes? Now is your chance to realize your model potential.

Tyra Banks will be visiting Wentz Hall on Thursday, September 15 to promote her new young adult book, Modelland. Modelland is a young adult fictional tale about a 15 year old model hopeful, Tookie de la Creme.

Description from Anderson's Bookshop website:
"No one gets in without being asked. And with her untamable hair, large forehead, and gawky body, Tookie De La Crème isn’t expecting an invitation. Modelland—the exclusive, mysterious place on top of the mountain—never dares to make an appearance in her dreams.
But someone has plans for Tookie. Before she can blink her mismatched eyes, Tookie finds herself in the very place every girl in the world obsesses about. And three unlikely girls have joined her.
Only seven extraordinary young women become Intoxibellas each year. Famous. Worshipped. Magical. What happens to those who don’t make it? Well, no one really speaks of that. Some things are better left unsaid.
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.
Are you ready? Modelland is waiting for you. . . ."

Anderson's Bookshop is presenting this special evening with Tyra Banks. To purchase a ticket to the event, please visit Anderson's Bookshop in downtown Naperville. The tickets cost $25 and include an autographed copy of Modelland.

The Tyra Banks event will be held at Wenzt Hall on the North Cntral College campus. The event starts at 7 pm.
