Iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell takes no chances on her health when she’s traveling by air, which she does frequently. In the latest episode from her new “Being Naomi” YouTube series, Campbell takes viewers on a trip through the airport that includes a thorough de-germing routine she practices on every flight.
Once on the plane, Campbell (wearing a delicious pair of silk Burberry pajamas) immediately begins to sanitize all the surfaces surrounding her seat. “This is what I do on every plane I get on. I do not care what people think of me,” she explains as she busily wipes down surfaces, “It’s my health and it makes me feel better.”
Additionally, Campbell covers her seat with a blanket. She explains, “I change them every week. I just buy them in the airport. There always hand washed at every hotel I go to and then they’re switched out.”
Campbell ended her efforts by putting on a face mask. “No matter what plane you take, as the plane descends people start coughing and sneezing. And the coughing and sneezing makes me…I just can’t. This is my protection from people’s coughing and sneezing,” she says.
While Campbell’s efforts may seem like a bit much, she points out that her efforts have paid off. She explains, “As much as I travel, I should get sick so much more with colds and stuff.”

![Actress #ViolaDavis' cover for #VanityFair is winning praise, especially in light of gymnast #SimoneBiles' #AnnieLeibowitz-shot #Vogue cover, which has been widely panned.
Turns out, Davis was shot by #DarioCalmese (portrait on the slide by #TeronBeal), the first black photographer to shoot a cover for VF, which was first published from 1913 to 1936 and then revived in 1983.
Until two weeks ago, according to the @nytimes, Calmese didn't know if he was the first Black photographer to shoot the cover but he had a hunch so he reached out to magazine editors.
In the magazine's July-August letter, editor-in-chief #RadhikaJones wrote, "To the best of our knowledge, it is the first Vanity Fair cover made by a Black photographer.”
At the same time, in the 35 yeas before Jones was named editor, VF had published just 17 covers solo covers featuring Black people. Since become EIC two-and-a-half years ago, Jones has published eight covers featuring Black people including two featuring interracial married couples.
According to Calmese, the cover poses was inspired by an 1863 McPherson & Oliver photograph (on the slide but be warned it's disturbing) of Gordon, an enslaved man whose back is filled with scars from being whipped.
Commenting on the choice, Calmese explained, "When you look at it, it is gruesome and harsh, but he pushes back more toward the camera. His hand is at his waist, you know that line, with his profile going down the arm and coming back. And so I was like: I can recreate this."
Well aware of the importance of the cover, Calmese said, "I did know that this was a moment to say something. I knew this was a moment to be, like, extra Black."
According to the NY Times, "For [Jones], the image represented the strength it takes to tell your own story, she said. For [Calmese], it is about rewriting an old story.](https://snobette.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
