Model Laveda Cooper

Laveda Cooper is a model who stunned the fashion beauty world in the late seventies and early eighties.


The Jacksonville, Florida resident became a model for Fashion Fair, a line of cosmetics for black women, and she also appeared in in  a special anniversary issue of Ebony magazine in 1980, which celebrated the ten most beautiful black women in America.  

And how did she get chosen?  Her sister submitted her for consideration.

"Her intellect, beauty and talent," her sister told Ebony, "blend together to create the unique and rare beauty that is truly Laveda." 

Hey, what are sisters for? :-)

The photo above was taken by someone you might have heard of, a chap named Victor Skrebneski. :-)
