Naomi Campbell does everything for publicity. Without some kind of a publicity stunt, she would be just another poor lost soul in the unrecognizable mass of humanity. She seems to favor Russia because she has worn out her welcome in the rest of Europe and America - and, the Russians still tolerate her out of control tirades. I would not trust a single Euro in her hands.

Kihnu, I do not care for models and that includes Naomi Campbell but she is riding high; she is a hot commodity. in addition, she is dating to one of the most handsome, richest Russian oligarchy who seem to love her and adore her. Her beauty is classical and she can model for another 20 years as does Iman. She is classic black beauty and she is much loved in Russia. You do not love Russia and Russians but Naomi Campbell loves Russia and Russians!

She helps one in a million without balancing their system(s) and then place value on slave status; I can't see a bigger crime happening here. Stealing is one thing. Ignorant interference is another. Living in a hut or tent is one thing. Having to worship another for her careless charity is another and distorts value-systems.

Global South, I don't consider Naomi Campbell a beauty at all, black or otherwise. What is "classic" about a woman who wears a wig and allows herself to be photographed only when she had a bucket full of makeup on her face. Whenever, the paparazzi try to take pictures of her as she is naturally, she breaks out in a screaming fit and tries to attack them. As for her so-called "handsome, richest Russian oligarchy", any woman looks great after a bottle of vodka. There are a lot prettier Black women around, who are not buffed up models, but work for a living - for example, those on CNN and Fox News. These ladies are not only very pretty, but they are graceful and intelligent. Naomi Campbell has not of their qualities. "You do not love Russia and Russians but Naomi Campbell loves Russia and Russians!" How did you come to this brilliant conclusion. I suspect you are Naomi Campbell's publicist - if you are, you have to do a better job of promoting her than you have so far done.

Kihnu, First, you are going personal with your attack on Naomi Campbell and this is most unfortunate. As for her wearing wig, almost all the white women in the fashion and Hollywood industries wear wigs. Second, and this relates to my first point, Miss Campbell is a fashion model that means she is a brand name called "image" and that public image is a production and not “natural” for if Naomi Campbell did not have “exotic allure” that is the product of cosmetics, wigs and other artifacts, you would not have been be in this blog writing asinine comments about a woman that you do not know and most likely would never know. She is beyond your league. I do hope that she finds happiness and love in Russia.

Global South: "almost all the white women in the fashion and Hollywood industries wear wigs." I doubt that since there is nothing prettier than well kept and styled natural hair. But, that is not the point of my comments. My comments are directed at a product of the media who I believe is over-hyped. I have the same opinion of many movie "stars" as well. If Russians idolize naomi as you claim, fine with me because that is their business not mine. I just gave my comments on an individual I consider over-hyped airhead with a horrible temper. I have the same opinion of Liz Taylor.

Global South, No personal attacks at all. Your posts glamorize Naomi Campbell, and my posts give the oposite view of Naomi. That's why RT has a section on this board entitled "Post comment". I can overlook your comment "you don't love Russia and Russians" because you don't know any better. I was born and raised in the USSR and Родина-мать is close to my heart. As for Naomi loving Russia and Russians, this "love" will only last as long as she has something to gain from Russia. If not, then, she will hightail herself somewhere else. Naomi is as over-hyped and fickle as many models tend to be. Too much attention is paid to over-hyped "super models", and not to the people who really are a blessing to humanity such as school teachers, engineers, scientists, doctors, artists, writers, mothers and fathers, etc.

Global South, The latest Naomi Campbell's craziness is reported by the UK Guardian and other worldwide news agencies: "British supermodel Naomi Campbell is in the news again for her temper after a series of questions during an interview with an ABC News reporter prompted Campbell to punch the camera filming her. After being questioned about whether or not she received a "blood diamond" from former Liberian president Charles Taylor, Campbell stormed out of the ABC News interview, but not before walloping the camera with a smack." Naomi's story is getting stranger by the day. I suspect she is looking to Russia as a place of refuge. Perhaps Naomi is a great person to you, but to me she is an out-of-control individual that may one day do serious harm to someone. If that Russian guy is foolish enough to marry her, I will give the newlyweds a few weeks before she physically attacks him.

Kuhnu, Your emotive hate toward Miss Naomi Campbell is matched only by your naïve understanding of the art of image making and masquerade in the fashion industry! Yes, my friend, those long, lush hair worn by almost all the white fashion models are wigs. If you are that innocent of the disguises used in the fashion industry, then, there is no point in talking about this matter. However, it is clear you have strong feelings- sublimated as hate- toward Miss Campbell. There is a name for this sort of abstract revolution. But I will not go into it here.

Global South: "Yes, my friend, those long, lush hair worn by almost all the white fashion models are wigs." I suppose that is why white super models spend thousands of dollars in exclusive hair salons in Hollywood and Paris so that they can get their wigs worked on. And, I suppose all those expensive shampoos and hair conditioner products are also for the wigs as well. Some white super models even brag about their expensive and darling hair stylists who prim and cut their hair. I have yet to hear any of them brag about their wigs. I seemed to have hit a nerve with you when I mentioned that Naomi wears a wig. I just don't think Naomi Campbell isn't worth hyping. But, if she wants to go to Russia and throw her temper tantrums, more power to her. I just think her Russian "boyfriend" better take a second look at her before he marries her. This is my last post since I don't want to waste any more of my time posting about Naomi.

Kihnu I am sure you will check this blog again! I do hope you get it this time: there is nothing natural about women in the fashion industry whether they be white, yellow or brown or black. They all wear whigs, plastic breasts[sadly, plastic breats are inserted in their bodies], high heels, etc. Get that?
