Salesgirl who didnt recognize Naomi Campbell!

[KhaoticKharma]

I just don't like how celebs seem to expect people to know them. I mean, c'mon! If you spend hours and hours getting ready for photos with makeup and fabulous lighting, then obviously you look different without...

^ That's the thing that gets me though, she isn't a true celebrity. She's famous for two things, being on the covers of the tabloids and being a supermodel (once upon a time)

So really, should everyone know who she is? Absolutely not, in fact, lucky for them if they don't.

i can't believe y'all think naomi has bad skin!?!???!

its actually astonishing. her flawless skin is one of her most famous features.

 

[Spike413]

^ It's called makeup, there are people who study the art of applying it to make people look flawless....it's kind of hush-hush though.

Seriously though, she's been around for almost 20 years, 20 years of partying, endless travelling, literally tons of makeup being applied to your skin...plus the fact that she's getting older, she's not 20 anymore, all of those things take a toll on your appearence, no matter how perfect your skin may have started out.

i'd pride myself on not recognizing her.

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.

Poor guy

To be honest I would be embarassed if I was that salesgirl for not recognising her and trying to tell Naomi shes not Naomi Campbell.

Peter Jones is not a great store anyway.

shame it is actually bad and she needs all the make up and airbrushing. she seems like a total self obsessed egotistical biatch. i won't deny she used to work hard but she doesn't deserve anything she has because of the way she acts and treats people.

oh wait i forgot, all celebs are perfect, lovely human beings who don't need the media and flawless images of them to make people believe that they are something they're not.

can't believe that about the guy in topshop! hope he takes them to a tribunal, they don't deserve to get away with that.

sorry for the rant, i'm just sick of this higher level of treatment people get just because they're rich and 'powerful'. they'll never live like common people...

I actually never heard that Naomi has a bad skin other celebs yes but not her!
In fact just like happycanadian wrote every one who met her or worked with her said she has the most beautiful skin and she is known for having great skin.And her skin dosent looks so awful in that picture it looks normal and we cant judge it according to that picture!

Are you serious?She is Naomi Campbell the best supermodel on a planet and most famous and has been in the biz for more than 20 years and you are asking why would anyone know who she is and that she isnt a celebrity?
If we were tallking about Paris Hilton i would definetly agree but Naomi earned her status and there is no other model as good as her,people who saw her at fashion shows know what i´m tallking about!!!
I agree that she seems spoiled and an egomaniac and i think she needs to get manners and take extra classes in anger managment but she is a great part of Supermodel era in fact she along with others created it!

Please this is a forum and i expressed my opinion and if you have problem with that then skip my comment-yes its as easy as that!

I think that saleswoman is pretty rude. Not for the fact that she didn' t recognise Naomi but insisting that she wasn' t who she claimed to be and refusing to accept her credit card. That' s really embarassing because she was made out to look like a liar. I mean I think everyone in here would be offended if a sales person treated you in that way. I'm proud of Naomi for handling this so well . I must say it' s quite odd that she didn' t recognise Naomi since she is one of the most famous supermodels. Her skin is another issue. Generally Naomi' s skin is known to be flawless but I assume she has her bad skin days like the rest of us do . Her skin looks great to me even in that horrible picture on the previous page.

hey i was just making a joke, but i guess it didn't come across that way since this is the internet and all...no hard feelings. sorry if it sounded like i was trying to attack you or anything but that was certainly not my intention...just being silly.

Shocking!!! If I had been that Shop-Assistant I had not accepted the card either!

Oh the wonders that Make up can do...

I'm quite serious, she's a has been, and, dare I say not even close to being the most beautiful model in the world (she's got shoulders a linebacker would envy, and a crappy walk) so I feel entirely justified in saying that there's no real reason why anyone outside of fashion should know who she is.

Even supermodels have a shelf-life

I agree; maybe in high-end stores like Hermes or Louis Vuitton they might be expected to recognize her but you go to your average Pottery Barn and they probably wouldn't make the association (at least in my area they won't, haha).

Not that Naomi would be caught dead in a Pottery Barn

OK then lets just agree to disagree i dont think she is a has been and i think she contribueted a lot to a fashion world and is a legend in a way!
