Naomi's big exit on Friday, day 5

New York, March 19-23, 2007 – We met Naomi Campbell bright and early every morning this week at the lower Manhattan Sanitation Department garage where she served her community service sentence. We intended to document all five of the supermodel’s looks, but we ended up with six when on Friday, the final day, she showed up casually dressed in pants, jacket and jaunty newsboy cap, carrying a large satchel. At day’s end (yes, we went back every afternoon, we admit it), she emerged wearing a glittering silver evening gown, and walked the gritty parking lot, smiling and waving to the media throngs, and got into a chauffeured Rolls Royce and drove off.

Remarkably, every afternoon after Naomi’s departure, Sanitation deputy chief Albert Durrell held a press conference to answer reporters’ burning questions about issues such as what Naomi ate for lunch (pizza!) and what she did (cleaned toilets and scrubbed walls!). They did not, however, comment on whether Naomi was developing a romance with the unnamed male coworker who chivalrously carried her bag to and from her car.

In fact, NYC Department of Sanitation officials were surprisingly media-savvy, as they were last summer when pop singer Boy George served a similar sentence.
