Naomi Campbell on Interview Magazine!


" I make many mistakes.” She says, “I mean, look, I’m controversial. It’s not that people don’t know who I am . . . If people want to work with me, then they want to work with me. If they don’t, they don’t. You also have to create your own things. I’ve had my own perfume now for how many years? I’m doing my twelfth perfume and I’m with Procter & Gamble. If something doesn’t come your way, then you find another way. I was brought up with a very broad mind. I am a woman of color and I will always be proud of that. I also know that I will always have to go that extra 10 miles. And that’s fine. I’m okay with that. I’m okay with doing the extra 10 miles . . . My whole career is a challenge. I’m a challenge.”


I was Very Grossed out at the photoshoot, Confession: for some peculiar reason i am very scared of Naomi and if i ever met her, God help me I'd shiver like feather  though i heard she's cherry sweet in person,Always scared that I'd meet her and my fidgety-talk-too-much self wud do something and She'd jump on me like KArate-Style, it has something to do with the anger management stories that i heard, I'd be a nervous, i jis dunno y?! This photoshoot jis made my fear worse lol...
Tho the shoot is a homage to Eastern Promises starring Virgo Mortensen and Naomi Watts. The movie is based on a Russian mob so they are playing with the aspects of Naomi’s “controversial” life and her ties to Russia (she lives in Moscow and her boyfriend is Russian as you all know). A lot of people on the internet are disgusted with the bloody shoot but no one seems to realize that it is a homage to Eastern Promises. If you’ve watched the movie, you’ll understand the shoot....after getting it, it de-grossed me out....

She spoke about the TRial at the Hague in front of the war crimes tribunal of the former Liberian president Charles Taylor
Well, I think most people—most intelligent people—understand that it’s a case that has been going on for a few years. But for some people it seemed like all of the sudden it was brought to their attention. Why? Because I had to go testify? I mean, I did the best I could there with my knowledge and what I could remember. They were asking me about things that happened 13 years ago . . . Okay, I said one word—that it was inconvenient—and that was wrong, and I take that. But I wasn’t saying . . . Someone asked me, “Are you nervous to be here?” I think anyone in the world would be nervous to be there! And then someone called me an idiot for not knowing where Liberia was . . . Many of my friends in 1997 had never even heard of Liberia. You know, I felt like I was on trial myself—and this was not my trial. I don’t condone what this man has done. I don’t condone what anyone does in being responsible for the deaths of kids and families and their own people—allegedly, that’s what I’ve read. That’s what we’ve all read. But I just saw the whole thing become a complete media circus. I felt very disappointed that people couldn’t really see what was going on. This wasn’t about me. This was not my trial. This was his trial. But anyone looking at it would think it was about me.




Using the Trial to make it into an event.

CAMPBELL: I don’t want to say what they did or what they didn’t do, but, as I say, it was another experience in my life. I did it to the best of my ability. I do take that I said a word that was taken out of context, something about inconvenience. I accept that that was not the right word to say. 




But when asked if someone’s nervous sitting there, when you’ve got the whole world—people from Australia, people from Brazil, New Zealand—of course I was nervous! This is not what I’m used to. Being on a runway, doing a fashion show is what I know. Not being on this other platform.




Okay this is a totally Random Thot and out of Context but How much do you think they paid this guy to lay naked in them shots like that ...jis curious..
