Recenly I caught up with ANOTHER beautiful model from America's Next Top Model,

Naima Mora, whose individuality and unique look propelled her to the top.
She is also the singer of the band Chewing Picks, so here it is, our interview.
Q: EVERYBODY knows you from America's Next Top Model. What modeling did you do b
efore the show?
A:i was just working hard to make test shoots with Friends like make up artists
and photografers... nothing too big.
Q: The judges loved how individual and unique you look. Do you think that if you
fit the normal Barbie doll look, that you would have made it to the top of the
show?
A:The way i look is part of who i am and makes my character. its my culture and
reflection of what that means to grow up bi-racial in america. and the show cele
brates differences and being able to have models that can relate to all people.
But i think i made it to the top because of my persona, which is indirectly infl
uenced partially by my ethnic back gorund.
Q: Who did you like and dislike the most in the house?
A:hahahahaaa, wouldn't you like to know? i didn't dislike any one. I don't judge
people, i try to understand them and empathize, thats why i didn't get into dra
ma with other models. K-len did become a good friend of mine and still is.
Q: What's next in line for you? More TV, music, or what?
A:CHEWING PICS : the rock band that i sing for.... its an amazing journey, and i
had not expected that i would become a singer in my lifetime.... but it fell on
me and i had to take it because i realize that i love it and take it very serio
