{{quote|''"You want to be chosen. You know you do. Don't lie, dahling [sic]. You lust to go to Modelland to become one of the only famous people in the world..."''}}
''[[Modelland]]'' <ref>pronounced exactly how it looks</ref> is the first in a planned trilogy of [[Young Adult]] novels written by former supermodel and ''[[America's Next Top Model]]'' host [[Tyra Banks]]. One of the few celebrity book projects that (according to [[Word of God]]) doesn't have a ghost writer involved. It is a cross between ''[[The Hunger Games]]'', ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'', and ''[[America's Next Top Model]]''.
Tookie De La Crème isn't what you would call a conventional beauty: Her forehead is big, her hair is ratty, her body is gawky, and her eyes are [[Mismatched Eyes|two different colors]]. So naturally, she didn't expect to be picked to attend Modelland, an exclusive school on top of the [[World Tree|world mountain]] where the magical Intoxibellas, women who are a cross between a modern day supermodel and a sorcerer, are trained. It's an opportunity that every other girl in the world would kill for, and somehow, she and three other awkward looking girls have ended up there.
Line 29:
* [[Self-Insert Fic]]: Tyra has mentioned numerous times that people in the modeling industry have been critical of her large forehead, her ratty hair, her gawky body. She also admitted that part of the plot was inspired by her own career as a model.
* [[Serious Business]]: The entire world revolves around Intoxibellas and, in the case of girls, trying to become one. Tied into that is the collecting of SMIZEs, fake eyebrow-like artifacts (one of which is featured on the cover) that increase a girl's chances of being picked for Modelland by 91%.
* [[Theme Tune]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSDd_aQjm54 Ms. Banks has made one for Modelland.] Tweet proof [http://twitter.com/#!/tyrabanks/status/94569156598431744 here].
* [[Write What You Know]]: Out in full effect here.
