Joan Smalls Says Beyoncé Tastes Like “Heaven”
Joan Smalls might not be the only person who’s licked Beyonce, but she’s the first to lick and tell. The supermodel was lucky enough to play backup dancer to Queen Bey in the super sexy video for Yonce—her self-titled surprise album— and in this episode of I Yahoo’d Myself she has one word for it: “Heaven.”
The 27-year-old powerhouse has turned heads on countless runways (with and without her Victoria’s Secret wings), topped Forbes’ highest paid model list, landed glossy covers like Vogue, Elle, and Vanity Fair and collaborated with True Religion jeans on two consecutive capsule collections. And yet Smalls says that being Puerto Rican has cost her a job or two, not to mention bullying during her formative years. “I’m just not the typical idea of beauty for Latin standards in Puerto Rico. I was always too tall, too skinny and too dark,” she tells Yahoo Style’s editor in chief, Joe Zee. “So it was a little bit of bullying, but at the same time it gave me thick skin and a good sense of humor.”
As the official prankster of the Victoria’s Secret crew, Smalls says, “ I hide from them, scare them and record it. I spank them when we’re doing an interview and the camera can’t see.” Our camera, however, sees all.
