Tyra Banks sent three girls and their moms to Walt Disney World this week. It was the first visit to the Orlando theme park for the children.
The supermodel popped in last night to celebrate when the children attended a royal tea party in their honor with Princess Tiana of “The Princess and the Frog.”
Banks will share her visit with viewers on Wednesday’s edition of “The Tyra Show.”
It airs at 4 p.m. on The CW (locally, WKCF-Channel 18).
Wednesday is the final day of the November sweeps ratings period. If you miss the Disney World show that day, it will be repeated Dec. 11.
Kent Phillips snapped this shot of the good times.
The three girls dressed as Princess Tiana are, from left, Kimani Smith, 6, from Fredericksburg, Va.; McKenna Pope, 10, from Lodi, N.J.; and Shadeh Belgrave, 8, from Jamaica, N.Y. They are shown in the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

We at the Secret Sales office have very mixed feelings when it comes to Kate Moss. We love her designer clothing ranges for the high street and her homegrown success, but her behaviour doesnt always set the right example to her young adoring fans.
Speaking to fashion news website WWD recently, Kate revealed that one of the “mottos” she follows to keep her on the road to success is: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”.
Although she quickly added that it didnt work, the 35-year-old mother has caused shockwaves within the industry for the irresponsible message this phrase sends out.
Former Ultimo underwear model Katie Green, who is behind the Say No To Size Zero Campaign, has slammed the supermodel for her comments, suggesting that it could lead to more eating disorders in the UK.
“Millions of girls aspire to be like Kate Moss. These comments are shocking and irresponsible,” she said.
Denise Van Outen also spoke out in anger about the comments.
According to research carried out by Lion Eggs this month, on average, women who are dieting for the Christmas period are hoping to lose as much as ten pounds. And ten per cent said that impressing a man was the main reason they wanted to shed weight.
Now come on girls, buy a dress that fits this season, and if you are going to try and slim down, do it the sensible way by eating healthily and doing exercise.

Claudia Schiffer has always been one of my style icons. Her love of designer clothing, key accessories and casual elegance has always been something that I have tried to emulate. So the announcement that she is going to launch her own fashion collection has got the Secret Sales office buzzing with excitement.
She wont be the first supermodel to turn designer – Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson have both already trodden the path – but with classic-looking pieces on the agenda I cant wait to see what she will come up with.
“I have no definite first product in mind, but I would love to do cashmere. Its something I wear all the time myself,” she said at a luxury fashion conference in Berlin.
“Or I could imagine doing handbags,” she added, explaining that she was also interested in doing something more “price-friendly”.
The German-born icon, who was first discovered at age 17, has not yet signed any contracts for her line and is in the process of turning her dream into a reality.
Claudia was spotted earlier this year on a photo shoot in Argentina, creating the spring 2010 ad campaign for Chanel.

Bar Refaeli strikes a seductive pose as she perches on a swing in racy black lingerie, complete with a ruffled skirt and stockings.
In other shots, the Israeli model adopts some flower power in the Sixties-inspired photoshoot, wearing floral accessories in her hair.
The 24-year-old is pictured for lingerie firm Passionata after being announced as the new face and body of the brand.
Earlier in the week Bar ran into trouble, however, after billboard pictures of her wearing only a blanket for a different campaign in Tel Aviv had to be replaced with a more modest photo.
The Fox clothing company on Monday changed two giant billboards following complaints from the fervently Orthodox community.
The billboards had featured the scantily clad Israeli supermodel on a bed with Israeli Survivor star Noam Tor.
They were exchanged for photos of the couple in winter clothing.
Some Orthodox groups had threatened to boycott the popular clothing chain.
Lingerie brand Passionata says their pictures were inspired by Sixties sex symbol Brigitte Bardot and were meant to be ’sensual’ while putting a ‘modern twist on the Sixties’.
Refaeli was styled as a 1960s-inspired pin-up and photographed by fashion photographer Greg Kadel.
She officially takes up the mantle as the face of the firm from early next year and is seen here modelling the spring collection, which is available from early next year.
The style fits in with the current romantic trend, featuring bows, ribbons, lace and floral prints in flirty, vivid colours.
Her signing to the brand comes as another coup for the model, who has also fronted major beauty campaigns for Garnier and this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Bar, who used to be better known for her on/off relationship with Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, designed her own bikini line and hostedher own bikini line.
In 2010, she will star in an English-language film, Session, directed by Israeli Haim Bouzaglo.
The film is a psychological thriller that tells the story of a manipulative psychologist who becomes obsessed with a new young patient.

A year after she posed naked for French Playboy magazine, Lily Cole has stripped off again.
The 21-year-old has followed in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford by appearing in the famous Pirelli calendar.
With millions in the bank, it’s unlikely Lily would need a student loan when she enrolled at Cambridge University last year. But her latest shoot certainly won’t do her bank balance any harm.
In the provocative calendar, Lily goes topless alongside her young contemporaries Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley and Daisy Lowe.
Last night, the models reunited at Old Billingsgate Market in London to celebrate the calendar’s launch.
They were joined by Hollywood legend and 2007 Pirelli calendar ‘girl’ Sophia Loren, who looked chic in a black and gold dress.
In the calendar, the statuesque redhead poses in a series of seductive shots, including one topless pose in a shallow pool. In another picture she is seen hugging a sloth
Lily, who started her second year at Cambridge last month, travelled to Brazil for the job in June.
In one shot, a naked Daisy sidles up to Australian model Catherine McNeil with only a Pirelli tyre covering their modesty.
The 20-year-old explained she and the fellow models spent a whole week being naked as they posed in Brazil for American photographer Terry Richardson.
She said: ‘It was quite freeing, being able to be naked for a week.’
A video of the shoot, which was screened last night, features Daisy spraying herself with a water hose and all the models enjoying a spot of mud wrestling
Also peeling off is Orlando Bloom’s Australian girlfriend Miranda, who is regularly seen in her underwear for US lingerie firm Victoria’s Secret.
The 30 images for the calendar have been described as ‘a return to the natural, authentic atmospheres and images of the ’60s and ’70s’ where ‘naturalness prevails over technique’.
Richardson said he was thrilled when Pirelli asked him to shoot their 37th calendar.
When asked what he thought about the models’ incredibly youthful looks, he replied: ‘I did not really take into consideration anything about age or anything … I work with girls that I know. Obviously everyone’s 18 or older.’
The shoot also featured Abbey Lee Kershaw, Eniko Mihalik, Marloes Horst, Georgina Stojiljkovic, Gracie Carvalho and Ana Beatriz Barros.
The calendar is famous for its limited availability. It is not sold, but given as a corporate gift to a restricted number of important Pirelli customers and celebrity VIPs.

Young models committing suicide is not a new thing! Everywhere around the world we find these beauty queens ending their life voluntarily. This is sad and a big loss for the fashion industry! Daul Kim had that spark in her known for her quirky fun and personal style. Her home town was in Seol born in May 31,1989. She was just 20 years of age. She was found dead in an apartment in Paris.
Daul Kims agents have confirmed her death but thus far no official cause of death has been disclosed. However, a source tells New York Magazine that they believe that Daul Kim committed suicide.
Kim started modeling back in 2006, appearing in editorials for Korean Vogue. Kim worked with Vogue for most of her career. The most notable Vogue appearance was in January of 2009 when she impersonated fellow supermodel Linda Evangelista in a Korean Vogue editorial.
Kim has walked for such designers as Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen and Chanel. Dauls most recent work included modeling for Christopher Kane for a Topshop TV commercial and being photographed for the fall issue of Dansk.
Kim maintained a blog named I like to Fork Myself in which she kept on updating about herself. Kims agency released a statement about her death saying, She was a top model and a great friend to all of us at Next. Please respect her familys privacy at this time of sadness. We will all miss her very much.
The question asked is why is it that models commit suicide? What is the cause which makes them to make such a strong and bold move of ending their lives? Is it the pressure at work or some other issues which is so much provocating
. The story continues and we never get an answer
may Kims soul rest in peace.

Wales top designer yesterday described Kate Moss as silly over comments suggesting being skinny is more important than eating well.
The supermodel reportedly told an online website for women that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
But Julien Macdonald a close friend of Moss told the Western Mail that she had been foolish to make such a statement, and claimed she was more round than many of her contemporaries.
On a visit to Cardiff to launch his new Star collection of Welsh Dragon accessories, the Merthyr Tydfil-born designer said: If you see Kate in reality shes not so skinny.
Shes smaller than most other models, shes quite round in a bikini she doesnt look too skinny and her weight fluctuates.
Julien who has worked with some of the worlds most beautiful women, including Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue, warned Moss that she should take care when making statements about size.
The girls who buy her clothes are not all size eight, theres a lot more girls who are sizes 12 and 14, he said.
If she wants her Topshop collections to be successful she has to make clothes for everybody.
I would love to be skinny and eat all the food I love, but because Im in the public eye I need to feel comfortable. So I watch what I eat and I exercise.
Its all about being happy with who you are. I think it was silly of her to say that. But she probably didnt mean it in that context.
Moss comment which the Croydon-born 35-year-old described as one of her mottoes has outraged campaigners battling to fight eating disorders.
Plaid Cymru AM Bethan Jenkins, chair of the Assemblys Cross-Party Group on Eating Disorders, said she was disappointed in the comments made by the model.
She said: Its the kind of comment that young people in Wales could well do without. People should never judge themselves by their reflection, but they are not going to be convinced that they need help and support if people like Kate Moss continue to say its all right to think that way.
Juliens new range is sold exclusively at Debenhams and can only be bought in Wales, he said: This is going to be the first in a long line of Welsh Dragon accessories. This collection of bags will be a one-off, so would become collectors items before long.
Hopefully in the pubs of Wales therell be a few people supporting the bags as well as the rugby. People are proud to be Welsh and they want to show that off the flag is our identity. Now the fact that you can have it on a fashion item shows their support of their country.
Julien also paid tribute to X Factor judge Cheryl Cole, for whom he has designed a number of outfits.
He said: The Cheryl you see on The X Factor is the Cheryl you meet in real life. Shes fantastic, a working girl whos young and beautiful but has plenty of time for everybody.

Gisele Bundchen, aka Mrs. Tom Brady [stats], has reportedly asked her exs mother, Irmelin DiCaprio, to be her babys godmother.
They get along so well, Gisele really wants Irmelin to be around her daughter, a source told the National Enquirer .
Call us skeptical. Because no matter how close Leos mom and Gisele are, the Brazilian supermodel, whose baby is due next month, does have a twin sister, Patricia, with whom shes very close, plus four other sisters.
Then theres the babys father – remember him? – who has three older sisters whom he adores. No. 12 is said to be unimpressed by the choice. Quelle surprise.
Tom usually lets Gisele have her way, but he might take a stand on this issue, said the tabloid tattler. Family is very important to him.
And besides, its her ex-boyfriends mother!

She was considerably more covered up than the rest of the Victoria’s Secret models.
But Heidi Klum, who gave birth to her fourth child just five weeks ago, proved the biggest crowd pleaser as she strutted down the catwalk in a purple corset covered with a half gown and tulle train.
The 36-year-old German model was supposed to be hosting the show, but made a surprise runway appearance to the delight of the audience.
Klum, who gave birth to daughter Lou Samuel with her singer husband Seal last month, kept her stomach covered after revealing she is still trying to get her figure back.
On Wednesday she told how she is working with her personal trainer to shed another 20lbs, so she left the flesh flashing to the likes of Australian model Miranda Kerr, 26, American stunner Marisa Miller, 31, and Brazilian beauty Alessandra Ambrosio.
Musical guest The Black Eyed Peas proved another hit with the crowd. Singer and only female member Fergie wore a black, jewelled bodysuit and came out later in a green corset gown.
Of course, fashion really is secondary here. Victoria’s Secret always puts on an elaborate production (this time with a choir, acrobatic dancers and a giant polka-dot dog balloon) and fuels hype about its models.
An online model search started earlier this month and is now down to two contestants, one of whom will be chosen by the public to appear in the televised version of the fashion show that CBS will air December 1.
‘I could watch this online, but it’s a fun scene,’ said Russell Simmons from his front row seat. ‘This show is always fun and a great production.’
‘It’s always a spectacular,’ agreed costume designer Patricia Field. ‘Victoria’s Secret does that extra thing I like.’
Klum, who normally wears the most elaborate outfits, only appeared once, so it was former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl Marissa Miller who had the honour of wearing a $3 million, diamond-encrusted bra.
Splashy jewels, it seemed, were one of the themes of the show with many models dripping in diamonds, crystals and other bling.
Others wore faux fur stoles over their bras and panties. Thigh-high boots were the other must-have accessory.
Outfits fell into one of four themes: Star Trooper with breast plates and body armor; Pink Planet, which had a hippie vibe; the ethereal Enchanted Forest; and Romantic Journey that featured a lot of lace.
Compared to previous years, the overall collection didn’t seem as skimpy, although Miranda Kerr wore an itsy-bitsy black thong get-up that might have to be edited out of the TV show.
The lingerie retailer inducted five more women into its Angel ranks – a designation reserved for top models – in front of a packed house last night at the Lexington Avenue Armory.
They are Emanuela de Paula, Chanel Iman, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel.
But Klum, who gave birth to a daughter five weeks ago, was the audience favourite in her purple corset covered with a half gown with poufs of tulle. She emerged from the huge, castlelike set to applause.
