Amber :: Divalicious

Even compared to Kanye West's usual wardrobe of wacky shades and marching-band jackets, it's impossible not to ogle his latest accessory: a tall, striking, bald woman who shares his fondness for dark glasses, fashion shows, and flashy clothes. It takes a lot to upstage both Kanye and the catwalk, but Amber Rose has managed to do exactly that, appearing out of nowhere to gallivant from New York to Milan to Paris on Kanye's arm in a series of ever-tighter pants that instill in us a new appreciation for breathable fabrics. It's been weeks of this, yet somehow, one burning question remains: Seriously, people, who IS this person? Not since George Clooney plucked Sarah Larson from cocktail-waitress obscurity has an unknown become so famous so quickly. But where it took about an hour for People and Us to dig into Sarah's background and deem her George's true love, Kanye and Amber have largely escaped the microscope, save for vague photo captions or blog posts. It's little wonder: Googling "Amber Rose" yielded — in order — a listing for a Dayton, Ohio, restaurant; a website for a Christian ministry; an author's site promoting Bee in Balance: A Guide to Healing the Whole Person With Honeybees, Oriental Medicine, & Common Sense; the MySpace page of a musician claiming she was conceived "on the Sunset Strip in the wake of Hailey's Comet"; a beer site; and a Vermont fleece manufacturer.
