the interview from jalouse [russia] june 2005. sorry for my english i translate it from russian.

THE PRINCESS LIYA

Liya Kebede was born in a country of Solomon and Sheba. by Aurelie Labillon

The Portfolio of 26-age Ethiopian model Liya Kebede much heavy than telephone book. And it's not fortuity, the arguments are advertising campaigns of Tommy Hilfiger, Yves Saint Laurent and, of course, Estee Lauder (official face for 2 years).

Your remembrance about your childhood in Addis Ababa?

The life in a big and friendly family filled with a sunshine - i got 4 brothers. Mom decided to grow only daughter other way than sons, and she brought me to the french lyceum in Addis Ababa. She always wanted me to speak french - she thought it's very elegant language.

How to get to castings in New York from Addis Ababa's lyceum?

i started model work when i lived in Ethiopia. Then Paris, where i lived for 2 months after finishing school. Then i went to Chicago for 2 years, where one of my brothers studied, and only then settled down in New York. Adore this city!

Your favourite beauty shop in New York?

I'm lucky - thanks to Estee Lauder, i don't need to buy cosmetology. If i want something special, i go to massage in Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It begins from feet and massage of a head in the end. Simply divine!

What is in your beautician?

Tousche and black pencil.

How are you looking after your skin?

When i feel my skin need special care, right before going to bed I drift on double portion of cream.

What do you think about fitness?

I

Hello everybody,

I am a new comer here. I just happen to land on your forum from an internet search on Liya Kebede. I was so happy to see Liya has many many fans! I am from Ethiopia and I went to the same french school Liya went to, alhough she was few years younger than me! We (the people who know Liya from back home) are very proud of her. She is amazing and has achieved a lot. We are very happy of her success. Therefore I was really happy to see all of her fans on this forum! Thank you!

By the way, you have a lot of great pictures of Liya! Keep the forum alive! Again thank you!
