Ok this book is objectively bad but I actually know what she meant here lol, scotch bonnets are a type of pepper, we use them in a lot of Caribbean food. It makes naming the town "peppertown" feel so much more contrived tho 😭
This gives such visceral "we asked ChatGPT to write a book for us and this is what it came up with" vibes that it circled back around to being a little impressive???? How did she write a random prompt generated book in 2011? if we found out years from now that Tyra Banks is a time traveller who came to 2024 to have AI write what ever this is and travelled back to publish it i wouldn't even flinch
literally the way I went between “this is the stupidest thing ever written” and “Tyra banks is actually a genius and none of us get it” throughout the WHOLE BOOK
@@Viteaification it's more in a sense that we hold a person's work too much over their own head. like a horro author writing about a murder, doesnt mean they secretly fantasize about doing that. like maybe they just find the concept scary just like you and happen to write about it. literally so what. like what characteristic from the author could you possibly get from that. this book tho, it takes a genius to write like you're tring so hard to sound human while being one
I've read it halfway through and so many times I was thinking dang Tyra you okay? There's soooooo much self hatred and body dysmorphia steeped into this book
It may not be right to psychoanalyze someone from their writing, but books like this do hint that some people need therapy (and are capable of getting it but may not be)
I'm a lil sus about the main character's favorite food too being a defining character thing. For those that suffer with eating disorders, whipped cream (especially low fat) is pretty low in calories, and some folks eat it as a special treat to replace ice cream when they're counting calories. Not that everyone else can't enjoy whipped cream, but given who the book is written by and the self harm in this book... I don't know, just seems sus xD
While this is entirely valid, the reason her favourite food is whipped cream is so much more self indulgent than that: It's Tyra Banks favourite food. Tookie is an admitted self insert.
@@LordHattieif it’s a self insert that probably lays more claim to the eating disorder theory considering she was a model. Not to speculate on her relationship with food (I myself prefer cool whip to ice cream), but most likely it was a “hack” she picked up in her modeling days from either somebody pushing an eating disorder onto her or another model who happened to have one.
Tyra made a THEME SONG for Modelland and I deeply encourage everyone to listen to a few seconds of it. No matter how bad you’re imagining it to be, it’s worse 😂
the names in this book remind me of ANY TIME i read something about the argonauts in greek stories/plays - we got Atalanta, Meleager, Orpheus, Medea (sometimes), and then their leader is named JASON. JASON WHAT R U DOING HERE
I mean it is said as Jahson not Jayson. It's just one of the names that is able to be translated and still used to this day that's why it seems more out of place than it really is but yeah I get you.
hey you might be getting a call from whoever has to execute on my life insurance policy because the words "lip virginity" did shoot through my speakers and into my temple and killed me dead forever
The theme of homelessness is WILD considering that episode of the Tyra Banks Show where she pretended to pretend to be homeless and was like wow I get it, I am the queen of empathy.
My favourite review of this book (Other than this one of course): ...although Modelland "promotes self-esteem and confidence in girls, it is less than empowering since it is all to a depressing consumerist end", calling it "a nonsensical, nightmarish, acid trip that seemed like it would never end" with "more made-up words and terms than a Klingon translation of a Dr. Seuss book", and emphasising that it "stops being funny when you realise just how long it is".
Little correction as a french-speaking person, excité does mean excited too! It *is* also slang for horny, but the translation to excited is definitely not wrong!
You know all nuance has been burnt to ashes when the protagonist has a surname translating as “of the cream.” Her mother literally called “Creamy of the Cream.”
(commenting this at the very beginning) i think this is my third(?) youtube video about model land and i still know nothing about the plot,, it’s THAT incomprehensible lmao also CONGRATS ON GRADUATING!!!
I really thought all that stuff about the belladonna or whatever's baby was gonna lead up to the reveal that tookie was her baby and creamy's punishment or whatever was to have to raise her or something because there was that whole thing about her father not thinking shes his and i dont know if that wouldve been worse or better but thats definitely where i thought it was going
oh no there's been a horrible head-on train crash between the uglies and the post hunger games YA competition-world genre. There's random plot snippets and unexamined themes everywhere, the front row is splattered with clinically unique YA protag names. shield the children's eyes so they don't have to watch as the hyper-shallow moral drags itself towards the agonizing, sequel bait conclusion. there's a seventh grade reading level premise impaled on gritty YA plot devices. oh the humanity. I think we should get a special discount at bookstores for honestly living through the lit phase where everyone wanted to chomp hunger games bit and ended up writing these ultra lame protags living in the melodramatic YA equivalent of whoville. the models up in modelland loved modelling a lot, but the protagonist, with an embarrassingly under researched and strictly convenient plot-relevant mental health crisis, did NOT.
My local librarian recommended the forest of hands and teeth to me instead of the hunger games. I had nightmares. It was a 600+zombie thriller. And it was awful
Omg when you talked about the uncozy self harm I wasn’t surprised and thought, “Yeah I smelled the ableism in the opening that you read us.” Omg the Backyardagins…
I have watched America’s Next Top Model. A smeyes/smize/smise is smiling with your eyes not your mouth when you are being photographed. What does that physically look like in the terms of this book. No clue.
so, normally id say its the eye squint thingy that ppl did a lot more during the pandemic bc masks but idk if that translates over into this book, it seems too normal
Same, and I couldn't stop picturing the smize as making the girls eyes bleed like when Raja portrayed Tyra on snatch game on season 3 of drag race lmaoooo
Oh my god Modelland was ghost written? I was fully convinced it was the only celebrity book that wasn't specifically because of how batshit insane the writing style is (in addition to, you know, the plot). I wonder if Tyra was just so controlling that she didn't let the ghost writer ghost write? All I know is that I have read that book cover-to-cover and it is one of the most bizarre reading experiences of my life. Truly a fascinating work of literature that no one should ever read.
I was expecting Tookie to be the daughter of the Belladonna because there was that part at the beginning where her dad doubted his parentage. Was that meant to be a twist? Why give the interesting plot reveal to the side character? It also makes sense why Creamy didn't like Tookie because of all that resentment. Maybe it would've been explained if subsequent books happened. Maybe it's also not that serious.
When my boyfriend was a teacher, he witnessed another teacher tell a parent that she was "pregunta" when she eas trying to say she was pregnant. So she said she was "question" 😂
The writer of the Cheetah Girls series spoke to my class in college, and she claimed that Tyra Banks stole one of her ideas for a book series and made it worse. I think this might be what she was talking about.
second deep dive video i see about this book and i think this time around i somewhat understood the storyline but also i absolutely will not remember any of this by tomorrow morning
honestly i love how silly literally all the names are in this book. its a bold choice. in amongst a sea of books that seek realism in their worlds, this one seeks deranged satire. i can only respect it.
What is it with YA dystopians and absolutely god awful names 💀. Next thing you know you’re gonna get the weird millennial baby names. Brynnleigh and osten would like to have a word…
I read Modelland last August/September. I remember all the things you’re saying. Even with that, I’m 5 mins into this video and my brain is trying to shut down going “what is this converties fever dream?!” And…it only got more confusing as time went on! Even crazier, this was supposed to be the start of a series!?!!!! Part of me say, “no, that’s the most insane thing I’ve ever heard!” But the rest of me says, “I do sort of want to know where it could have possibly gone…”
I love your channel cause it just feels like we're sitting on a couch together and you're just yapping to me about your newest read cause that's what me and my friends do and it feels like you're just one of the homies
Surprised there wasn’t any mention of the Dancing Hand Monster with Hand Teeth that straight up dismembered two of the people Myrracle and Cremie were Pilgriming up to Modelland with.
Have I read this book? No. Have I already seen 3 other UA-camr reviews of this book I've never even read? Yes. What did I do when I saw SBC was doing a review of this book? I ran here to watch
Been watching since the beginning and fsr never commented but I love this channel sm and am grateful for your in-depth and funny reviews. Keep it up bestie 🙏 Also congrats on graduating
I genuinly cannot keep up with this story, between the crazy names and the constant introduction of new places and people.....my gods Tyra what did you create
13:33- a smize is just an expression. It means to smile with your eyes. Which is even more deranged, because here it’s being treated like a golden ticket…🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I remember seeing this book at my local library when it first came out, picked it up, read the first page, and immediately put it back down. Now my teenage self feels vindicated lol
I was listening to this while falling asleep yesterday so im rewatching tonight to see what was real and what was oart of my dream SANSCOLOR WAS REAL?! Also my brain replaced john Ramsey with gordon ramsey so i was dreaming of him being really short it was funny
43:09-43:19 I have played this part over and over again because it makes me giggle the way you delivered it. It’s also so true which makes me love it more😂
...i dont know how people dont see how tyra came up with the things in the book. After watching so much ANTM as a kid. It really feels like her book. Like it makes sense that it came from her.
this video could not have prepared me for the INSANITY of the book😭 i’m 12 chapters in and there’s so many absurd details???? like how the french dude has a hand for a face💀
Girl, none of the sentences you said made any sense, if you listen to them of context it just sounds like the most bonkers shit you've ever heard and I LOVE IT 😍😂 Thank you for taking one for the team and reading this book so I don't have to
I watched this in several settings and every time I continued on watching I got whiplash when you said "tookie". Also congrats in graduating and i love your reviews
I just graduated as well!! Congratulations on making it through college, especially with everything that’s been making college crazy these past few years🥰🥰
Crazy coincidence that I just finished watching life sized with my class when I saw this vid in my recommended. And having that movie in my head makes Tyra’s apparent hate for actors even funnier
This book feels like a horrific fever dream version of a Wes Anderson film generated by a shitty AI. Like if I were to see these people they all have 8 fingers, 3 faces and lips that overlap because the generator can't seem to understand proportions
You just unlocked a 6th grade memory for me. I used to think you had to finish every book you started, and then this book changed that for me.
that's so real
Err... it did some good then...?😂
I got about halfway and tapped out

Thank you! Saved me a Google search. @@Iratepandabear
1:29 I wasnt looking at the screen so I heard "Metopia" as "Miitopia" so now I'm imagining all of these characters as Miis
Girl me too!!!!
SAME- the only difference is that Miitopia is a peak game 😭
Tbh, that would have salvaged the book.
That makes this book so much better
I was playing miitopia while watching this and hearing that was crazy
This sounds like a dream someone is trying to describe before they forget it all.
“They’re running the taps because they want to get a smize” is such a deranged sentence
This gives such visceral "we asked ChatGPT to write a book for us and this is what it came up with" vibes that it circled back around to being a little impressive???? How did she write a random prompt generated book in 2011?

I didn't understand what this comment meant when I first read it. Then I reached that part of the video 😂
“Many such cases” is absolutely sending me
I don't believe in psychoanalyzing authors based on reading their books.... BUT this book makes me wonder so many things about the author's mind
you def can it did come from their brain afterall
@@Viteaification it's more in a sense that we hold a person's work too much over their own head. like a horro author writing about a murder, doesnt mean they secretly fantasize about doing that. like maybe they just find the concept scary just like you and happen to write about it. literally so what. like what characteristic from the author could you possibly get from that.

see i was expecting the worst and yet i was still somehow blown away
i want that played at my funerap
literally wtf was that
Some of these names give me a "I need a name so I'll look around the room for inspiration" vibe
"Mic stand. Mike. Stand. Ley. Mike Standley. The third."

Do you have a link?
A good editor would've made this a third of the length or less and it would kill as social commentary (if Tyra was actually able to do that).

‘girl will lash in, boy will lash out’ is such an iconic yet funny line and I will be thinking about it from now on 😂
Just wanted to say as a french person technically excité can be used as excited, the connotation is just heavier on the "sex" thing.
Like how "arousal" can technically refer to any state of intense emotion but is heavily associated with hornyness?
