Natural Afro. Naomi's model success, if not matched, is at least approximated by half a dozen other Negro mannequins. Charlene Dash, a willowy, 5-ft. 9-in. New Yorker, got her big break with a two-page spread in Vogue last January, since then has appeared in Look and filmed a Noxzema commercial that alone earns her $178 a week in residuals.

In the past month, it has picked up the accounts of two big-billing brewers, Hamm's of St. Paul and Guinness of England.
