The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms. Very often it does not know what to do with genius. --Oliver Wendell Holmes
I am extremely careful about "heaping praise" upon any single individual, because we humans are so prone to screwing up. But, when it is due and when it is unmistakable, the universe leaves me with no other choice. Kimora Lee Simmons is a genius. Let me repeat that. Kimora Lee Simmons is a genius.
Let me explain something to you. What we are all witnessing a 36 year old woman do, and having done since her early 20s, is nothing short of genius. Nothing. She is fashion. But, Kimora Lee Simmons is also business. It is almost too much for my senses to bear. It's one thing to watch a documentary or read a biography or some such about a genius who once was. It's quite another to be alive and present to witness all of this in action. Sure, there are other celebrities and personalities with clothing lines and skincare lines and reality shows and books and such, but there is nobody doing it with as much passion and care and thought as Kimora Lee Simmons. Nobody. And, I dare anyone to name one other.
