Naomi Campbell Delivered a Tour de Force Performance on The Face Last Night

Naomi Campbell Delivered a Tour de Force Performance on The Face Last Night

The chicest, shriekingest skull in all the land, Naomi Campbell, ran the gamut of human emotions on last night's episode of Oxygen's reality modeling competition-cum-sorority rush The Face. As coach/mentor for three of the show's aspiring models, she ranted, she raved, she condescended, she laughed manically, she cried crocodile tears of cold-blooded joy, she rounded corners ominously.

My favorite things in the highlights reel above are:

3. "Cuz I'm cuz I'm cuz I'm."

2. "They may be angry, it's an emotion to have," which is such post-phone-throwing therapy rationalizing.

1. When she shouts at her group and then shouts at them for shouting. It reminds me of the impossible-to-win confrontation between Corky St. Clair and Lloyd Miller in Waiting for Guffman ("Why are you whispering? I'm right here...Now it's too loud. Just talk like a normal person."). In fact, if you watch this show (or any reality show, really) as a Christopher Guest documentary — as a collection of improv performances played for absurdity — it becomes a lot more entertaining.
