Tyra Launches Type F, Talks Trenchcoats (VIDEO)

Tyra Banks...we mean Tyra (apparently, she dropped her last name à la Madonna or Sinbad) launched her lifestyle site Type F this week, upon which the "America's Next Top Model" host plans to dispense fashion and beauty advice to the masses.

Okay, okay -- at first we were skeptical and perhaps we still are. But Tyra has a way of talking to the people. We even enjoyed her first "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fashion" video about how to wear a trenchcoat. No, not because we needed a mental image of Tyra eating Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches in the middle of the night donning nothing but a jacket, but because we adore Andre Leon Talley and the two arguably make a cute couple. If anyone can balance out Miss Banks, it's ALT.

Take a look and tell us if you'll become a disciple of Type F.

this was a good piece, I'm not really a big fan of Tyra, but this was actually very practical

Ok I admit it. I watched and did not hate it. LOVE the bangs on her. She should never go bangless again.

Not always. Check out Tyra's interaction with another Harvard student. Tyra knew more than the student.
