The Music Video
Fashion models and music videos. Like gin and tonic, right? The perfect mix. Especially back-in-the-day, during the reign of MTV, VH-1 and BET. Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista did George Michael. Cindy Crawford did Jon Bon Jovi. Paulina did The Cars. Even married Ric Ocasek. So when I got the call for MILLI VANILLI they were hot off their Grammy win and I was pumped! Other models were cast too but I was the lead chick and the set was stank with envy. But it was a rough shoot and by Day Three I was tired, pissy, and seriously over it. We finished the damn thing but it never aired. By then it was discovered that Milli wasn’t so Vanilli after all, lip syncing to music recorded by someone else. Still, requests for me started coming in. I could’ve been on TV 24-7. But I turned them down. Every one. Even MJ. You’re welcome, Naomi.
