Iman - Somali supermodel
Iman was the first major fashion model from Northeast Africa. Beautiful Somali, Ethiopian, and Sudanese models are becoming common, since many have the extremely elongated body shape that the gay men who dominate the fashion industry have decreed is the ideal womanly image. New York-based journalist P.J. O'Rourke reported from Mogadishu that practically every young woman looked like a runway model. Somalis and Ethiopians tend to combine Northeast African genes with some West Asian Caucasian genes, too. This combination can give them an interestingly exotic look. (In contrast, Mr. Bowie's looks appeared to be derived from those of his dark master, Satan).
That was taken off of iSteve.com, a site I stumbled upon. Due to his aside about Bowie's looks, he will perish.
