The Tyra Banks Show partnered with Aerostaple to give away 100,000 coats for charity this past week in Grand Rapids. The coat drive was organized through the non-profit One Warm Coat, an organization whose mission is to ensure all children have coats to keep them warm through the winter.

Several Top Model alumni came out to help give away the coats, including Toccara Jones, Lauren Utter and Aminat Ayinde. The girls took some time to sign autographs for a few star-struck kids receiving the coats! Tyra didn’t make an appearance, but it’s still a great cause for her to support!

Twitter is the latest craze in social networking. It’s a microblogging platform that limits your updates to 140 characters. Through it, you can connect with people around the world. I’ve compiled a list of former contestants on America’s Next Top Model that currently have Twitter accounts. While some of their authenticity has yet to be verified, it would seen silly to create a fake Twitter account for an ANTMer from three or four cycles ago, don’t you think?

If you know of any other girls on Twitter, please let me know! I’d be happy to add them to the list! And …read more

Toccara has been working non-stop since her time on ANTM and recently did a 14-page spread for the infamous all-black issue of Vogue Italia.
