Say what you want, Naomi Campbell has been at the top of the modeling game for over twenty years. She's a flawless beauty. Often misunderstood, but you can't deny her staying power. It's almost unheard of, that a model almost 40, while still looking to be in her twenties, is still one of the most sought out creatures of our time. No one ever speaks about humanitarian efforts, guess that's shows too much of a human element. A ICON is someone who doesn't mind going through the fire. Taking the heat, and STILL having an opinion about what direction to take their life. Naomi has battled and won time and time again, standing firming planted on those two gorgeous feet, that has graced the catwalks from Milan to New York, and all points in between. I can say this with all the conviction in the world, she's a LEGEND!!
