"THE REAL DEAL"
Before you ever again step on the bathroom scale, Mia Tyler suggests you put
your foot down. "People need to stop weighing themselves," says the plus size
model and actress. "Throw out those scales! Go to the doctors once a year for
a checkup and get your weight then. Don't do it every day."
A daughter of Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler and half sister of actress Liv
Tyler, Mia advocates healthy eating and exercise, but she is fed up with the
nations obsession with weighty matters. At 5 feet 7 inches and 145 pounds (a
size 10/12), she says she is happy with her body. The average American women
wears a size 12 or larger, so there is a growing demand for plus size beauties
such as Tyler, 20, who models for clothier Lane Bryant. "I'm the real deal,"
she says. "People respect that."
Q: Do you feel like a role model for larger girls?
A: When I was a kid, there weren't plump models. I didn't think, "Why aren't
there women in magazines who look like me?" But some people need role models
and I understand that.
Q: At age 13 you went to camp for overweight kids. Did you lose weight?
A: Yeah, 30 pounds in six weeks. They worked the kids so hard there. It was
like a school day. Each hour was another sport. They fed you the smallest
portions and you couldn't get seconds. When I got out, I craved candy bars,
peanut butter. I gained back all the weight I lost, plus 10 pounds. I wouldn't
recommend that.
Q: Your mother Cyrinda Foxe, was a model. Has she given you any modeling tips?
A: She told me, "Keep your chin up, wear nude underwear and work your eyes."
Everyone tells me I have great eyes, so I should work them. What's that mean?
Work them how? I don't get it. So I just open my eyes a little more.
Q: What's one plus side to being plus-size?
A: All my guy friends, they love plumper women. They all say, "You've got to
hook me up with your (plus-size) model friends." A lot of guys like healthy
girls with a little meat on there bones. (Tyler is currently unattached.)
Q: So is your dad, who's now 50 years old, still wild as all the stories we've
heard?
A: He's a different man now. He's got two little kids. He's a family man. Then
he puts on his tights and makeup and goes on stage. He's totally cute, like a
little boy in an old man's skin. I can see him rocking out when he's 80, with
scarves tied around his walker. I hope that's what I'll be like when I'm
older. Joe Perry Quote

An Aerosmith Ride at Disney World
an Aerosmith ride at DisneyWorld!
According to a man who work there, there is a rumor that
a new ride, scheduled to open up this summer, or early fall at Disney MGM-Studios, called
"Rocking Roller Coaster" might feature a real band and Aerosmith is the band they are trying to work something out with. The cars in the ride are going to be shaped like stretch limos and rock music will play through out the ride. the whole theme is that you are going with a band to a recording session. its a fast ride, and there are several loops involved. its also
going to involve tunnels and whatnot. American Edition on CNN
Howard Stern - Grammys
Howard Stern was brutally bashing the Grammys this morning. Except for Aerosmith. He said he loves them and that they looked and sounded great. He was saying some funny stuff (in Howard's sick sense of humor) like when he mentioned Steven pulling out his ear piece and how "Joe just stands there like a wall". "There could be a nuclear bomb and Joe wouldn't move to help Steven" Then he played parts of their performance and said "Robin, your eyes are glazing over, you love that romantic stuff don't you?" "You'd bend WAY over for Steven Tyler" Then he was imitating Robin saying "Steven, am I bent over enough?" News as of February 24, 1999
The TV show "Extra" showed a picture of Steven from his high school years. They said he was voted "Most talented sophomore". They also showed recent pics of him with his daughters, and talked about the grammy nominations. Paul Anka puts himself in the same class with Aerosmith.
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- Paul Anka puts himself in the same class with Aerosmith. The teen idol of the '50s and early '60s said the hard rockers have staying power -- just like him. Other rockers stress "form over content," the 57-year-old Ottawa native said Sunday. "They are actually manufactured entertainment groups. They are a product of technology. What you are listening to is technology." But not Aerosmith, he said, and certainly not himself. He and the '70s band have sustained their appeal by sticking to their roots and hard work.
"I stay true to what I do," Anka said. "I have never gotten into
current fads. If you keep your integrity and try to keep your
performance level up, you have a chance to keep your audience -- if
they think you are human and not some passing fad." News as of February 23, 1999

Mia was on Howie Mandel this morning (ABC network). Howie told her that he was a "big fan of your dad's"! She talked about being a plus-sized model for Lane Bryant, her upbringing w/Steven, how she was embarrassed when she was younger by Steven "wearing makeup and women's clothing," hanging out at Studio 54 with Cyrinda when she was just three, and how her and Liv met. They did show a shot of Steven, and a live shot of the band on stage. Aerosmith at Disney World Story
When the boys went to florida to watch the John Glenn thingie, they were staying at Disney World. Now I was down in Florida working there, and what do I hear? That the band members of Aerosmith were staying at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club. They were staying in a suite that goes for around 400 a night. My roommate is a lifeguard there, and he saw Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. It turns out the they bought food for all of the lifeguards at the end of their stay. So of course I risk my job, and I go to the resort. I hung out there forever, and no luck, 4 of my friends saw ST, JP, and my next door neighbor said she saw Joey Kramer. Steven went to see a show called Fantasmic! and bought an ITZAKADOOZIE ice pop. I know this because my friend Erin sells them there, and she is the one who sold it to him. So, of course I snoop around more, and I find out this info: Steven Tyler was there from October 30-November 1, 1998. He had 6 people in his party, he had a private tour guide, and was given a PEP. (Priority Entrance Pass- him and his party didnt have to wait on any lines). Brad Whitford was there from October 27-November 3rd. He also had 6 people in his party, and he had a private tour guide (a different one than tyler) and was given a PEP. The other band members had left prior to Sunday November 1st. I just thought this was kind of neat to know. News as of February 14, 1999
