More than Lips

"Beauty comes in all different packages. If you're a size 12, then your not any less beautiful than a size 4."

Plus size model, actress, producer, author, advocate and public speaker, Mia Tyler is probably best known as rocker Steven Tyler's daughter or the Lord of the Rings elfin princess Liv Tyler's sister. But Mia is creating an image and personality all her own.

Born Mia Abagale Tallarico and just entering her thirties (December 22, 1978) she has already established a successful modeling career and growing personality personae.

What follows is a mini tribute to Mia.

Three reasons to love Mia Tyler 

Her Name

Mia means "Sea Of Bitterness". It is supposedly of Scandinavian origin and is often associated with Maria.

Her Attitude

Mia has a no-nonsense-accept-me-as-I-am or get lost attitude. It's inspiring and a welcome change.

Her Curves

Well of course! Mia is incredibly curvy and proud of her curves. Her proportions help her make a living on the runway and in print.

Her Family 

"I have always been pudgy. It has never bothered me, I have always felt pretty, happy and loved."

Her Parents

Mia is the daughter of Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith and Cyrinda Fox (R.C. from the Andy Warhol's movie Bad). Like most teens, Mia had a rocky relationship with her parents but has reconciled with both. Her mother died in 2002 from a brain tumor.

Brothers and Sisters

Liv Tyler is Mia's half sister via Steven Tyler and Bebe Buell. She also has a brother and sister (Chelsea and Taj Tallarico) through Steven's marriage to Teresa Barrick.

The Man 

Brian Harrah that is...

Mia recently announced her engagement to guitarist Brian Harrah. He proposed on bended knee with a very big antique diamond ring. Who could say 'no' to that.

This will be Mia's second marriage. She was previously married (and divorced) to drummer Dave Buckner. But he was just practice. This is the real thing.

Immortalized in Song 

Steven Tyler wrote and sang a song called Mia.

Mia

Honey now..na, na, na, na, na....

Hush a bye my baby soft and new
Oh, loveliness, gypsy dance in the rain
Hush a bye my baby what you do
Oh, the baby cry
The wind is a-callin your name
Oh, oh...

Where you came from you ain't alone
Live and loved from the old jaw bone
Ah, don't you cry you're home sweet home

Rock a bye sweet lady gypsy blue
Oh, the nightingale's singin' her song in the rain
Hush a bye sweet lady, soft and new
Oh, don't you cry, the wind she's a-screamin' your name
Oh, oh...

Come too soon that sunny day
You give your heart away
No divorce, io repouise

Oh, oh...

This song can be found on the album Night in the Ruts.
