While appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last night, Naomi Campbell was asked for her thoughts on a young model named Kendall Jenner. I have no doubts that this question was planted by the folks at Bravo in order to create some viral content, but I also have no doubts that Campbell’s response was unplanned and entirely off the cuff. Few people walking this earth are better at shade, so it should surprise no one that her response (which was, simply, “Next question”) was instantly iconic.
But let’s move on, because there’s more to Naomi Campbell than shade. During the “next question,” which was actually interesting, a young caller asked Campbell to provide her top three dating tips. It’s clear Campbell wanted to give the caller some good advice, but she admits that she’s wholly incapable of doing so. “I actually don’t really know what it’s like to date, because I’m not a dating person,” she confesses. “I’ve always been someone that’s been in relationships.”
It’s then that things get truly good. While sort of thinking out loud attempting to figure out the dating rituals of commoners, Campbell says, “What do you do, you go for pizza? Is that it? Is that one of them? A walk in the park?”
