The Desert Flower 010.

From the Somali desert to the world's catwalks. When Waris Dirie's DESERT FLOWER appeared in 1998, the world was shocked. The former supermodel tells her breathtaking life story, describing her incredible journey from a nomadic life in the deserts of Somalia to the world's most famous catwalks. This was a dream and a nightmare at the same time. In New York, at the peak of her career, she tells in an interview of the practice of female genital mutilation that she had to suffer when she was five. Waris Dirie decides to end her life as a model and dedicate her life to fighting this archaic ritual.

People don't really get this scene,the aim is to show this side of the model industry,yeah most models must take their chlothes off to be more famous,yeah this is a creepy world,but it's also about waris appreciating her own body and not be ashamed of her body,that she hide all this time before getting into modeling,this scene is just waris becoming a woman and get ride of the shame,it's a beautifukl scene.

I am disgusted .There is so much immorality in this world.This photographer says everything he needs to say only to get her naked.

The nudist was so unnecessary. A person can access themselves and body without stripping out of their clothes for strangers. Weird world we live in.

im so sorry models have to do this im sorry for her, model industry stealing womens dignity, there can be nice pictures without nudity, why is this neccessary. im sure she felt like sthin was stolen away from her, thats how id feel... its a very sad scene..so sad.. men dont say shes a sharmoota, she was thrown into a world withut anyone explaining her whats goin on, if youre guiltless be the first one to cast a stone....she was takin advantage of. it must have been very hard for her emotionally

wait I thought that she just took her top off for the first audition. Waris is a wonderful cook! in desert flower, the family she stayed with (her relatives in London) wanted to have her cook for them instead of eating the cooks food!
