Naomi Campbell Jumps Rope with Monkeys in Harper’s Bazaar

By Julianne Hing Aug 19, 2009

The spread was shot for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar by Jean-Paul Goude, who, Jezebel points out, made a name for himself by exploring his self-confessed "jungle fever." Other photos from the spread include Naomi Campbell wearing a fur print sheath, racing alongside a cheetah. Will there be an uproar, as with the LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen Vogue cover? Or are we all pretty inured these days to the Black woman as exotic, wild animal meme that we’ll see the photos, roll our eyes and then move on? Check out the rest of the photos at Gossip On This.
