More Quotes from Iman:
I wanted to do something other than just sign books, ... I thought that by doing makeovers I could make this more of an interactive thing. So I have makeup artists there and I do a little Q and A.

began back in the mid-70s when I started my career as a model and began seeing more similarities than differences among different ethnic groups.

This country has really moved on to a more multicultural way of thinking, ... I just want to celebrate the women.

Women need to celebrate their God-given beauty instead of always trying to be something else.
