As usual, she looks good. But I still think this woman is confused as fuck with those dunce blue contacts she always wears.

Black Girls in Magazines: Naomi Campbell in Mixte
I saw this in Borders the other day but I don’t have a scanner anymore. However, I spotted the images @ StyleFrizz.
Naomi Campbell is a car-crash but her face is just a canvas that makes any look come alive with charm and appeal. Look at the 3rd photograph; it’s like they have taken the Beefeater concept and transformed into this chic, sexy woman. Just gorgeous.

My friends and I love what I call “weave-watching”, especially on famous people like youknowwho. Critiquing weaves seems to be a favourite past-time for many women, whether you are talking about famous women are not. When I think about the days when I was wearing weaves, I think I always knew it was not me. They made me look like an entirely different person. Continue reading
Magazine Commentary: Naomi in i-D magazine
NB: No scans of Naomi C in this post!
**Naomi C is in the new issue of i-D magazine. Some readers of the blog may or may not remember that in fact i-D did a controversial fashion spread where a black model looks basically like Aunt Jemima so this magazine is suspect anyway. Continue reading
