Dancing for dollars
Who would need a bribe to take a supermodel to a dance? Let's ask Iman! "When I had my prom, my father had to pay my own cousin to take me to it," the Somalian stunner said at the Safe Horizons Benefit Wednesday night. "He had to pay him a lot of money, at least a couple of hundred dollars. No one wanted to take me out," Mrs. David Bowie told Webster Hall's Baird Jones. "I was an ugly duckling compared to the other girls. The other girls were fatter than me. They like them round in my country!"
