As an exemplary portrait of a Poor Little Supermodel, I suggest Naomi Campbell’s diary of her five-day community service stint at the New York Sanitation Department (as appears in W magazine). Poor Naomi only wants to take responsibility for the violence caused by her inability to handle alcohol and cocaine, and sweep rubbish and bond with her coworkers in peace. But for some reason, the media just won’t leave her be! It’s as if they’ve never seen a supermodel perform court-mandated community service in a Guiliana Teso fur coat or a Dolce and Gabbana demi-couture gown before!
Naomi, you – a woman who is paid million of dollars TO WEAR CLOTHING that 99.999% of the human population could never wear – you are wondering why the media is so interested in documenting your humiliation when they could reporting on Iraq or Africa? Are you really that immune to absurdity?
