Don't hate her because she's beautiful. Hate her because of her metabolism. "I eat what I love to eat most of the time," Campbell says with relish. "I don't diet. My favorite foods are Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's, Raisinets, Mars bars, Snickers and deep chocolate fudge Häagen-Dazs." Is there no justice? How dare anyone ingest so much junk, have only 125 lbs. to drape on a 5'9½" frame and flaunt it all as one of the most sought-after models on earth? In fact, she reportedly has been sought after by JFK Jr. and Robert De Niro. At least she does her homework for her estimated $7,000 a day. With bosom buddies and fellow supermodels Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, Campbell haunts clubs where she picks up modeling pointers from transvestites. "I think transvestites are the ones who understand me best," she says. "I think they're the best runway models ever." Campbell still has one more goal. "There has never been a [major] cosmetic contract for an ethnic girl—Hispanic, Asian or black. I want that beauty contract." If Revlon won't take her, maybe the Colonel will.
