If someone called me the Asian Kate Moss, I could die happy right then and there. OK, that wouldn't work considering I'm not Asian, but it did happen to Filipino Model Charo Ronquillo, who is officially dubbed the Asian Kate Moss by the modeling world.
The 20-year-old has also broken a world record; she's the first model from the Far East to win the Ford Supermodel of the World Search contest. Can this gal get any luckier? Yes, she can because she's blessed with big eyes, flawless skin, and a svelte body.
But as the story usually goes, such was not always the case. In high school, Charo was a tomboy with short hair and ugly teeth. Lucky for her (and us), she started taking care of herself and thus a model emerged. She's since worked the catwalks of New York Fashion Week and has posed for Teen Vogue and Marie Claire Paris. Oh, and here's a fun fact: Charo was one of Chloe Dao's models on Season Two of Project Runway!

She's very pretty
1OOh, she IS pretty
2Wow! She really is the Asian Kate Moss!!!
3She's gorgeous.
4i think she has her moments but she's not that pretty...definately not like Kate Moss!
5She seems a bit common-looking to my taste, but she does have something. I'm always happy to see an Asian face in the industry. Things sure have changed for the better since I was a teenager, at least in that respect
6Pretty girl
7So pretty.
8she is not the first asian to win the ford supermodel search contest... a south korean model won in this year-the first of asian descent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermodel_of_the_World_(contest)

15you're welcome Fab
16She's so pretty and I'm proud that she's a natural filipino beauty!
Aw, a Pinay! She looks great.
17she's pretty and she does look like kate but kate was stunning at that age. she's got some of the moss bone structure though
18she is really pretty!
19pod1982 she is the first asian she was last year, the south korean you mentioned won this year.
20pod1982 she is the first asian. because she won in the previous year, the south korean you mentioned won this year.
21I'm proud too that she's pinay.
22wow Fab im so glad you featured her! she really makes me proud to be Pinay!
23Yes, I remember her being featured in the local news before, very sweet and down to earth, and that was my first thought too, that she looked like Kate Moss! A natural beauty.
24Woah..im so grateful FAB..she's such a sweet.she's making me proud to be a pinay,too! =)
25i'm sorry i just assumed that "won" meant first place in the supermodel contest. charo was the first asian to win one of the awards-but it was third place.
26I think she looks way prettier than Kate Moss but maybe it's just because I'm getting tired of seeing her (Kate Moss) everywhere.
27I don't too much for Kate Moss. I've never really seen the big deal with her. As for this girl looking like her... yeah I can see some similarites. Whatever. Good for her and her success.
28Correction: I meant to say "I don't CARE too much..."
29She's so beautiful! Yay for Pinay models!
