You're right Sepia but I don't consider her new, though.

I wonder why these dudes werent compared to Naomi, and they chose Tyra. Maybe it's cause of their resemblance.

I see no reference to Tyra in that post.

For kicksthis one is for you Sepia. When I first saw your name I thought of this old black publication called what else, SEPIA! Photo Source:scanned by me

-The 1st successful(in those days the 50s-early 60s)/international blackmodel star-Dorothea Towles(1959).

Are you serious?!

 

[OMIFAN9]

Holy crap- I was going to say that. I think I have ESPN or something.

You know it's true!

 

[sepia]

Are you serious?!

Yeah, I read about it in some book!

 

[OMIFAN9]

I don't think anyone mentioned Stacy McKenzie.

I met her through a good friend when I was living in Toronto...nice girl. I know she is going to be working as one of the judges on Canada's Next Top Model.

I saw Yasmin one day in Toronto. What a showstopper she is. I just had to stare.

Ooh! Thank you for the information on Emanuela! She's so lovely I can't stop looking at her. I hope she continues to gain popularity.

Selita is gorgeous too but she seems to be doing mainly Victoria's Secret & SI type of stuff which is nice but I wish she'd do more fashion editorial work. But I suppose when you are blessed with a body like that photographers can't help but want to see you smiling and in a bikini.
Hopefully she'll find a balance between the two like Karolina.

I can't believe she became a successful model. If she can make it in the industry EVERYONE CAN.

Omi do you have more pics from this Ethiopian model, Anna Getaneh?

What do you think of as successful, she wasn't really IMO. I'm afraid to say that I too never understood her.
