I saw this in a bookshop I walked into and I have always loved her face and so I could appreciate this book a bit more.I took my time to peruse and read the whole book.

She claims she had to work ten times harder because she was black. Really ? I don't think so. *cough cough drugs*

She does look like a hard worker though and she did date Robert De Niro (so envious) and the sexy Joaquin Cortés. *fans myself*

The book is rated more for the pictures!

If you are the travelling sort, one who hitchhikes into the wilder regions of the world, this book is quite good to take along (if you can buy it cheap). The paper is quite soft and you can rip a sheet off at a time for the necessary and its far less bulky and obvious than a roll of Charmin'.

This wasn't shockingly good (I mean, even Iman's introduction just dripped with the 90s), but some of the photographs were incredible. I picked this up for 50 cents at a used bookstore at Valley Forge almost two years ago, and I'm glad I finally read it, and am definitely keeping it.

This book had photos of Naomi which was Naomi at her best in the 1990s.
