<title>Tyra Banks App Teaches Users How To &#8216;Smize&#8217;</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-30353" title="mzl.pkhredsw.320x480-75" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/appnewser/files/2012/12/mzl.pkhredsw.320x480-75-168x300.jpg" alt="" width="168" height="300" />Talk show hostess <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Tyra-Banks-profile.html">Tyra Banks</a></strong> has a new app available that teaches users how to smile with their eyes, aka &#8220;smize.&#8221;</p>
<p>The $.99 iOS <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smize-yourself!/id577218114?mt=8" target="_blank">Smize Yourself</a> app gives users lessons in how to &#8220;smize&#8221; through photos and videos. Users can then add their own images and the app will add a &#8220;smile.&#8221; These images can be shared with friends via Facebook and Twitter.</p>
<p>&#8220;On <em>America&#8217;s Top Model</em>, I&#8217;ve always told my girls to smile with their eyes. We call it `smizing.&#8217; Over the years, it&#8217;s actually become part of pop culture,&#8221; Banks told <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/talkingyourtech/2012/12/25/tyra-banks-talking-your-tech/1777819/" target="_blank"><em>USA Today</em></a>. &#8221;I would be walking down the street and girls would say, &#8216;Smize!&#8217; So many people asked me, &#8216;Tyra, am I doing it right?&#8217; I decided to do an app. It does it for you, but exaggerates it, and makes it more like a fun bar tool or at-lunch tool.&#8221;</p>
