Supermodel Iman--who prowled her last catwalk in 1989--revealed to WWD that she hates going to runway shows:

"God help me--I don't want to go," she says. "One reason I have lasted this long is I've never been overexposed and overstayed my welcome. If I went to fashion shows, people would think, 'Oh, poor thing.' That air of mystery is my revenge."

She also recalled working with "Les Enfants Terribles"--Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier and Claude Montana--saying, "We would have fittings at three and four in the morning because they had no concept of time." We'd definitely get up at 3 a.m. to hang with them.

She should've played Storm in the X-Men movies.

Iman looks good to go. She should be on the catwalk. She would look awesome wearing hijab and a mini-skirt.

Also, how about Tyra Banks in a rap music video, with that big behind of hers in some spandex shorts?
