Remember when I told you all that Tyra Banks was writing a book?? (HERE) Well unfortunately, that wasn’t just me making shit up. It’s true. It has happened. And you can pre-order the book at Barnes & Noble.com.

Can you say The Great Gatsby circa now???

Well, good for you, but that has nothing to do with what Modelland is about. And I’m pretty sure Leonardo DiCaprio will not be starring in the film version, but I can’t say that much for Blake Lively though.

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. . . .”

John Steinbeck just rolled over in his grave.

I just read the first chapter and wished I was in the grave alongside John Steinbeck… and I hate John Steinbeck novels.

Did I mention this woman wrote this book??

My god she’s like the Dumbledore of Modelland on top of that mountain.
