Everybody compares your look to Naomi’s… are you similar to her worldly famous
character as well?

HERIETH PAUL:  Naomi is an amazing model.
 But the media has made her out to be something very different nobody
knows if it’s true or not.  As for myself I am might share some of her
looks but I  would have to say we are not
similar in personality or temper,  we are two different characters. 
I am more of a go with the flow kinda person 🙂 I don’t have a bad
temper. I like to laugh a lot and chill.
