Salesgirl who didnt recognize Naomi Campbell!

Miss Dalloway · 10-07-2006

Naomi Campbell fled a shop in tears after a shop assistant refused to believe she was who she said she was.
The supermodel was shopping for luggage in Peter Jones, in London, but when she handed over her credit card, the store assistant reportedly said: "I don't think you're Naomi Campbell."
At first, Naomi, famed for her fiery temper, thought the woman was joking but once she realised she was being serious, the pair exchanged heated words.
The 36-year-old catwalk queen angrily insisted she was the real Naomi Campbell, but the shop assistant still refused to accept the card.
A spokesman for the model said: "There were a lot of people in the store and the situation was humiliating. Naomi was shaking with anger."
Store management reportedly tried to intervene but Naomi stormed out and refused to ever visit the shop again.

Is age really taking a toll on Naomi or something? Seems to me like it would be really hard to not recognize Naomi; her facial features are so distinctive. Maybe Naomi was having a bad hair day or something

Plus: there are people out there who have the same names as celebrities....

I know it sounds ridiciolus but here is the picture of Naomi from that day and a picture of her with make-up!Its really hard to belive that,that is Naomi?

i wonder what happened to the salesgirl?

it's safe to say that she lost out on the commision, i guess

Couldn't she have just showed her I.D. instead of taking it to whole other level? She's a grown woman for christ's sake. Chill out with the ego crap.

Miss Dalloway · 10-07-2006

OMG Imagine Naomis

face when the store assistant said: "I don't think you're Naomi Campbell."I bet she thought she was being Punked or something!

I really expected the story to end with "And Naomi smacked the salesgirl on the head with the nearest available phone"

Velouria · 10-07-2006

i can see how that could be really embarrasing for naomi, but i bet the salesgirl got bitched at bigtime after she left! but i mean, naomi should have at least appreciated that the salesgirl was trying to protect her from some random person using her credit card.

You read my mind tiffany!!!!

This is rediculously funny, for serious.

Perhaps said girl does, in fact, live under a rock?

Pastry · 10-07-2006

i'd pride myself on not recognizing her.

misssakura · 10-07-2006

Sadly, Naomi will not realise after this incident that the whole world doesn't, in fact, revolve around her.

Why did the SA refuse to accept the card? Isn't it her duty to take it?

I've met her in person at Formula 1 races and her skin is awful. It's all dry and icky. Then again it should be no surprise, smoking and drug use is really bad for the skin.

I used to work at Topshop last month (before I realised how much it sucked) and two weeks ago some guy got fired right of the floor for approaching Paris Hilton. Her entourage complained and he was told to take his stuff and hand in his badge. Christ. He should have smacked her while he was at it. Plus kudos for recognising her -she was wearing a black wig. Honestly I hope the Peter Jones sales girl wasnt fired. Unlike their airy fairy celebs, some people depend on their jobs to live.
