Fur Coat and No….Scruples

naomi-again.jpg  Here is Naomi Campbell turning out for her community service.  Note the fur coat.

NC was ordered to do a week of community service and a two-day anger-management course for throwing a mobile phone at her maid, causing an injury to her head which needed four stitches.

Her obligations apparently include work such as scrubbing floors at a Manhattan sanitation department.  Now, normally, nothing works quite so well as being made to get down on ones hands and knees and scrub floors in order to experience self-effacing lessons in humility and pride.

But oh no.  None of that deep, humbling soul-searching from our dear luscious-lipped, publicity-seeking, short-fused, arrogant glamour-puss that is Naomi.  If rumours are to be trusted, she is unscrupulously exploiting her situation by having photographers follow her around documenting stuff while she carries out her penance – photos which will no doubt end up in a glamorous magazine spread.

She has apparently also said that she will auction all the clothes she has worn whilst mopping said floors and the money raised will be donated to a children’s charity.  Who the hell would want to buy clothes that have been worn while scrubbing the floors of a sanitation department?  

As for the fur coat, well that’s just wrong.
