Selina Khan Test Shots

Glad to see Selina Khan getting out of those pre-pubescent Teen Vogue images. These pictures are sexy and worthy of Elle or Vogue. Vogue China, the most multi-racially inclusive titles among the lots, should book her for an editorial, as long as they don't put her in an Indian theme story.

Daul Kim Goes Blond!!

Both supermodels.nl and d-management (Milan) posted new Polaroid photos of Daul Kim with blond hair. It doesn't look like a wig. So is this new look permanent or just for a photo shoot?

Xiaoyi Dai Test Shots for Elite Models, Fall 2008

Xiaoyi Dai is undoubtedly my favorite new model of the season. Okay, she isn't new-new because she was signed with NEXT Models in 2007 and that relationship went nowhere. But since Elite Models took her under their wings a couple months ago, she's starting to book more jobs here in the US and in Asia. She even has a profile on New York Magazine's model list.

Xiaoyi Dai has a new cover in the October 2008 issue of Singapore Style and I'm hunting high and low for a good quality scan of the photo. Does anyone know someone who knows someone else who has a copy of that magazine?

Here are some AMAZING test shots of Xiaoyi Dai done a couple months ago for Elite Models. She looks spectacular!! Did I say, she's my favorite new model this season? Oh yeah, I did.
