Victoria’s Secret Hires First Asian Model
File this one under "We Can't Believe It Took Them This Long": Besides all those expensive bedazzled bras and Heidi Klum flaunting her post-baby body, there's one more reason to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, airing on CBS tonight. Chinese model Liu Wen, 21, will be the first girl of Asian descent to float down the angels' catwalk.
"I was surprised when my agent told me. I asked my agent if she was joking. I didn't think an Asian girl would get this job."
Of course, the show's casting agents didn't exactly pluck her from obscurity. She was a Fashion Week favorite, and even proved she had mad runway skills by walking in Alexander McQueen's spring 2010 show, known for the insane toe-less platform shoes. So, you know, undies and wings should be a cinch. [ONTD]
