Angel Laws, 22, a college student in Jacksonville, N.C., merely wanted to poke fun at a celebrity. For the entry titled "Guess Who: Messed Up Feet Edition" on her gossip blog, Concrete Loop, Laws posted a photo of a pair of weathered bronze feet wrapped in strappy black sandals and hinted at the person's identity by commenting, "I guess all those years on the runway take a toll on the feet." Unfortunately for Laws, the owner of those feet, the model Iman, happens to read Concrete Loop.

The vision of Iman gliding down the world's top designer runways was breathtaking. The sight of Iman talking business dressed in an elegant, gray trouser suit is formidable.The model-turned-actress has turned entrepreneur and during New York fall collections week had a small group of fashion press to lunch to launch her namesake cosmetics line. Impressive.In the penthouse of the Royalton, the Manhattan hostelry of the moment, she charmed and sipped and talked about the range of beauty products she has developed for all women of color -- not just African-Americans, but Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans and Native Americans.

Years before war and famine tore through the villages around Mogadishu, leaving ugliness in their wake, the Somalian countryside was the birthplace of a dark-eyed baby girl with astoundingly high cheekbones and flawless, sun-blessed skin -- a thing of perfect and undeniable beauty. A half-century, several countries and many stages of life later, Iman -- Mogadishu's black Aphrodite -- continues to represent all things beautiful and beauty-related. As she nears 50 years of age, her face still is among the most famous of the big-name fashion models.

When he was a boy, James Iman used to curse the underwater grasses that clogged the shallow creeks around his Fort Howard home. The wavy green plants grew so thick on the surface they would trap unwary boaters and snag fishing lines.But 25 years ago, the bay grasses virtually disappeared from Shallow and North Point creeks in eastern Baltimore County. So did many of the blue crabs and fish that used to hide in the shaggy aquatic carpet.Now wiser at 43, Iman has become something of a Johnny Appleseed of bay grasses.

Twilight gathered in a dazzling splash of reds and pinks out beyond Old Bay Road while a heron, frozen statuelike, waited near the shoreline for dinner. In the tranquil waterfront village of Fort Howard in eastern Baltimore County, another grueling day ended for veteran waterman Jimmy Iman Jr. He had put the finishing touches of paint on hundreds of crab pots but still had to examine his trotlines for weak spots. Suddenly, he remembered the most important obligation of this waning evening: He had to do his homework.

On January 15, 2004 NANCY G. DAYBROWSKI (nee Wharton), beloved wife of the late Joseph F. Daybrowski; devoted mother of Rebecca (Becky)Gorsuch, and her husband, Jim, and Martha Wilson, and her husband Boodie; dear sister of Edward Weir Wharton, Jr., and the late Genevieve Bennett; loving grandmother of Kimberly Iman and her husband, Steve, Joseph Wilson, Amanda and Jimmy Gorsuch; great-grandmother of Jacob Iman.

Former supermodel Iman, now a business cosmetics diva and author, recently came to town to share her insights about her life, her career and her relationships as part of The Sun's Smart Talk Women's Lecture Series. The statuesque Iman was charming, funny, yet serious, in discussing her journey in life at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in May. She is a woman who is comfortable "in her own skin" and says that's the key to being beautiful and successful. The mother of two -- a 25-year-old and a 4-year-old -- and wife of rocker David Bowie divided her insights into a three-pronged message underscored by highlights from her life, morsels of wisdom and questions from an attentive audience: Celebrate your own beauty "The most celebrated beauty is the most insecure.

With the support of a makeup artist and Iman, African-American women are getting more options for foundations, skin care The self-described "groupies" gathered in a dark room of a Northwest Washington hotel, eagerly awaiting the man some had traveled from Philadelphia or New York to see. The celebrity was handsome as a Hollywood hunk, charismatic as a pop music star. But these women couldn't care less whether he had any singing talent or an ability to cry on cue. He was Sam Fine, makeup artist to such stars as Vanessa Williams, Janet Jackson, Tyra Banks, Mary J. Blige, Halle Berry, Oprah Winfrey and Iman.

EXOTIC NEW HUES When longtime model Iman thinks of the term "women of color," she doesn't think just African-American. So when she developed her self-named cosmetics line in 1994, she focused on the skin color of women of many ethnicities: mixed races, Native American, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, African and Middle Eastern. For spring, Iman has come up with a fresh new makeup collection called Urban Exotic that she says captures the essence of spring fashion. With her Modern Luxe Face Kit in colors such as Nutmeg, Sand Stone, Sunrise and White Gold, and her Luxury Lip Shines in shades such as Exotique, Jazzy, Edgy and Urban, Iman has brought new meaning to the phrase "women of color."
