ok.
no offense, spike, but you're just
wrong.
whether or not she's beautiful is certainly a matter of opinion.
whether she has "a crappy walk" or the most famous strut in modelling history is also just a matter of opinion.
however, shelf-life or not, Naomi has been working steadily for 20 years. she still gets major campaigns like Louis Vuitton and Iceberg, and has literally been on the covers of more magazines than ANY other black celebrity (yes, that includes Michael Jordan, Oprah, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, etc etc).
she is at the very least
as famous as any other model who has ever existed.
people all over the world, whether they care about fashion or not (unless they are very very young, perhaps), recognize the name Naomi Campbell. she is a legend who STILL works and is constantly involved in international events.
so to say that you see no reason why anyone outside of fashion would know her is simply
incorrect. It is NOT a matter of opinion, it is a matter of fame and she is VERY famous the world over and that is pure fact.
*can i get an AMEN?*
