She was indeed beautiful. For some reason, I thought the first black supermodel was Lola Falana, but I guess not.

She was beautiful. RIP Naomi.

LuLu Rogers · 08-05-2009, 02:40 AM

To an amazing and beautiful woman!

I never heard of her. For some reason I thought it was Iman who was the 1st model. RIP Ms. Naomi.

She was one of the most beautiful women in the world, of any race, creed or color, as well as one of the classiest and most dignified. I idolized her immensely.

And I'm a white male.

I'm still getting over the shock. Apparently, she had breast cancer.

Reading her story, she seems very intelligent and tenacious. Good for her for staying true to herself rather than cashing in. RIP <3
