Famous Model Found Dead
This week, sad news cloud my column as the fashion world has been shocked to learn that former Yves Saint Laurent model Katoucha Niane, 47, has been found dead. Her body was found in the Seine River in Paris, Parisian police revealed.
Niane, better known simply as Katoucha, was last seen Friday night after she left a party with a friend. She headed home, and was never seen alive again. Police say an accidental fall was likely the cause of her death.
A Guinean, Niane immigrated to Europe at age 17 to become one of the first African supermodels, which she did achieve. She posed for people like Irving Penn, and maintained her friendship with Saint Laurent long after retiring as a model in 1994.
Niane was circumcised when she was 9, an experience that scarred her for the rest of her life. She had been campaigning against the practice of circumcising girls in Africa for a very long time, and was a true believer in what she fought for. The incredible beauty on her Black face and her long, brown hair, which effectively made her look like a real life version of an African Barbie, hid a heart of a feminist who never stopped believing in her causes. Our condolences go to her loved ones.
Niane leaves three children behind. Rest in peace, Katousha Niane, 1960-2008.
In other news, you have to check out my very good friend Luisana Lopilato’s page. The Argentine superstar, who will not be touring with internationally archfamous pop rock group Erreway during their 2008 international tour, recently wore a blue one piece bathing suit that’s all the scream. I liked the way she looked in more ways than just one. After all, even if she is my close friend, I am nothing but a carnal, animalistic, sad big dog looking for meat. In other words, I am a man. And not like Boy George, who once actually declared on “Karma Chameleon” that he was a “man without convictions”. Not that kind of man. I have convictions and one of them is that Luisana Lopilato looks fine as hell in her bathing suit. That’s why, my girl readers, you have to look it up on her page,http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=21690866, where you can see the bathing suit for yourself.
Today’s women I must do are twins, Tia and Tamara Mowry. Black, beautiful, sexy and TWINS! I love chocolate and if it’s double, better yet. You gotta endulge (or imagine you can)!
Drop me an email to tj69662094@aol.com, I would love to hear what you think about my column, my appreciated and dear readers, of which I suspect a large portion are females. Writing for Backstreetcuddler.com is the bomb, I swear. I do believe I hold this position as the one thing Carrie from Sex and The City would envy from me!
Til next week, much love!

this is very sad. i was hoping they would find her alive. Good thoughts to her family.
One of the other writers over at Highbrid Nation wrote about Katoucha Niane and the disappearing of other models working on campaigns to stop genital mutilation. He actually think black magic may be involved. Yeh I know, that theory is a bit out there but I’ve heard stranger things.
