Trya Banks Anti-Capitalism?





Tyra Banks in her hay-day

Tyra Banks is taking the high road – for now – on lending her name to a range of products that could extend her brand. It would seem obvious that the ubiquitous former model can capitalize on her brand and launch a clothing line for “plus-size women”, a fragrance, even a modeling agency – the opportunities are endless! Yet according to Tyra, "I don't just want to throw my name on stuff like that….I just feel that the marketplace for celebrities throwing their names on things is oversaturated."

Tyra is clearly under the illusion that her brainchild “America’s Next Top Model” which has reached an all time low in ratings and “The Tyra Banks Show” will keep her bank accounts fat. I give Tyra another year before she reneges on her anti-capitalist position!
