Yes, Tyra Banks is wearing a bad cap and a wig with unfortunate bangs, and the proportions of the outfit are weird, and she looks a bit like her own American Girl doll. But there is more important news to discuss. We’ve covered Tyra Banks’s would-be ice cream empire at length over at Drinks With Broads — or, as “at length” as its own duration allows — but until now, it’s been out of reach. Her Smize & Dream flagship is in Sydney, Australia, and that is not a business trip I can take, although we did have one intrepid reader whose brother went and sampled it for her and determined that it’s basically perfectly fine. HOWEVER! Tyra has gone semi-viral recently due to her latest wild idea, Hot Ice Cream — not hot chocolate, not a milkshake, not immediately clear to anyone other than her — and now she has brought it to a variety of locations in Manhattan. Do I know which? I do not! She is maddeningly vague on this! But to the Fug Nationals who are in New York or its surrounding region, and want to do some Googling and exploring, PLEASE go sample it and report back. Is it a magical new creation? Are people going to steal this concept if she had waited until Winter 2026 to bring it to us? Does it make you smize and/or have dreams? Please go forth, intrepid explorers, and find it and sip it and report back from the front lines.
