Her skin is such a beautiful rich colour that it just glows even under dim light. Her body proportion is insane. That cute face with high class sexy walk. Her walk is fierce and graceful at the same time. Her limbs are slim and long but not scarily bony. She actually has breast and butt, not just a skeleton. Last but not least, her background taught her to work hard for things, appreciate everything and not take them for granted.

I agree. Naomi Cambell looks good in any clothes but so are you. You and Naomi are the best models ever. I'm absolutely amazed by your elegance and perfect body for a supermodel. Cute face with an always soft expression. Your past history and the way you look at it is your value.
