"Actress-model-producer-smile-with-your-eyes-evangelist Tyra Banks is now adding children&amp;#x27;s book author to her multi-hyphenated career. She is currently promoting her new teen sci/fi adventure book, called Modelland, which sounds like it&amp;amp;#8217;s about how to become America&amp;amp;#8217;s Next Top Model - plus magic! Modelland is the first of what will be a three-part series for Tyra and Random House. The book is available for pre-order through Amazon.com now, and hits shelves in September. Ladies, come discover what an &amp;amp;#8216;Intoxabella&amp;amp;#8217; is and learn why Tyra is wearing what looks like an angel wing on her forehead&amp;amp;#133;Modelland takes place in (you guessed it) Modelland, where the main character, an awkward young girl named Tookie de la Creme, finds herself vying for a chance to become a famous &amp;amp;#8216;Intoxabella&amp;amp;#8217; - AKA, a kind of sci-fi supermodel. Tookie must survive the &amp;amp;#8216;Catwalk Corridor&amp;amp;#8217; and &amp;amp;#8216;Thigh-High Boot Camp&amp;amp;#8217; in order to realize her dream - which wouldn&amp;#x27;t be so bad if Modelland weren&amp;#x27;t slowly revealing its many &amp;quot;sinister secrets&amp;quot;. Kind of like the regular modeling world but with crazy cute names, right? Then again, the real modeling world has some crazy cute names too (Doutzen Kroes, I&amp;amp;#8217;m looking at you) so maybe Modelland is just teen-appropriate code for&amp;amp;#133;Manhattan? Want a sparkly distraction from the serious modeling industry analogies? Me too! While promoting Modelland, Tyra has taken to wearing an angel wing-like headband/eye patch that mirrors the book&amp;amp;#8217;s cover art. Add a jumpsuit with, um, words on it, and a few back up bellas and Tyra&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty much adapted this novel for the stage! Don&amp;amp;#8217;t worry, she toned it down for Good Morning America. So - would you ladies pre-order Modelland on Amazon.com today? Buy it when it hits shelves in September? Read it on a tropical beach in February? Or leave it to the teens altogether? Do tell! More Ways to Get Glamour: NEW! Now You Can Read Glamour on Flipboard!
