Seems like Alexander Lukashenko the President of Belorus has banned the use of non-Belorussian models in ads that run anywhere in the country. There are no exceptions, not even for Russian models. So, since the beginning of the year, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss are out, and Belorussian models are in. Know any Belorussian models? I’m sure there are plenty, or if you want to get a jump start on a modeling career, take out Bellorussian citizenship! Mr. Lukashenko probably thinks he’s doing the women of his country a favor. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the media, as most of the big fragrance and fashion houses that have multi-million dollar contracts with the likes of Naomi and Kate, will simply not bother to advertise in Belorus!
Listen Naomi, we'll have to meet in Paris. It's a little awkward here!
