Roshumba Williams

Roshumba Williams

Roshumba Williams is one of the front-row fixtures during New Zealand Fashion Week. Out of EVERYONE in Auckland, she worked it like she owned it. According to one of the fashion week minders volunteers I chatted to, Roshumba had 5 costume changes on Day 1 alone. Tinsley Mortimer is dat chu? People were talking about her throughout the week -- the press and photographers love her. All the kiwis were all like "she's a supermodel promoting her book" etc etc etc. OK. Who is Roshumba and why have I *NOT* heard of her before?


(YES I KNOW I'M TINY... BUT SHE'S 6-FOOT-1 AND SHE'S WEARING HEELS!)

Well, I finally got to sit beside her at the Trelise Cooper show where we chatted for a few minutes. She's really tall (6 foot 1!!!!), nice and super sweet. Turns out that she was a former model back in the day. As in, back in the dark ages when they didn't have the internet. Then she became a VH1 host... and she also came out with a book called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being a Model". Right. I see.



Now to all the oldies (but goodies) out here... do you remember Roshumba Williams? Answers on a postcard...
