Tyra Banks' Vagina Monologue

Tyra Banks yesterday devoted her hour-long talk show to discussing vagina-related matters.

Before the ground-breaking show, the no-nonsense former model said she hoped that bringing vagina-themed chit-chat to the day-time TV schedules would educate women.

Tyra said:  "I have wanted to do this show for two years. I know for a lot of women talking about what is going on in our bodies is extremely difficult, but it is incredibly important.

"We should be able to talk to our daughters, sisters, mothers and friends about our bodies and not be embarrassed. I hope after this show women will not be ashamed about what's up down there."

She added: "My mother told me to look at myself because, 'It's just another part of your body that needs to be healthy just like your eyes, your nose, your ears, your mouth and everything else.' "
