Coco Rocha's benefit for Children's Aid Society
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
(NEW YORK) Budding supermodel and recent Vogue covergirl Coco Rocha is using her Irish dancing skills for a good cause—one which doesn’t involve the Jean Paul Gaultier runway. With the help of her agency Elite, the 18-year old Highland dancing expert has teamed up with the Children’s Aid Society to coordinate a dance group event benefiting underprivileged kids at one of the organization’s centers throughout New York City. Her Canadian dance group, the Eire Born Irish Dancers, who have performed for the Queen of England, will fly down to the Big Apple for the event. Fittingly, the Richmond, British Columbia native was discovered at an Irish dance competition at the age of 14. According to Rocha, the shows are tentatively scheduled for October 19 and 20 and will also include a Friday afternoon performance and a Saturday workshop for the children. Rocha’s adult fans, however, will have to wait until her next catwalk prance to see her moves, as the shows are exclusively for the kids.

...or the kids at heart?
They were talking about her discovery at her irisih dancing.
The guy approached her and asked where her parents were and asked if she has ever thought of modelling.
She kept saying no but the guy kept going to her shows and bugging her until she said yes.
She had 3 friends who were obsessed with fashion and she didnt, so they thought her on their 30 minute break after their english and french exam.
She never knew any designers, how to walk, and vogue and stuff like that.
She was doing a photoshoot with a pink boa and even put a red clown nose
She said she never was the person who was in fornt of the camera and would be the shy girl that says no dont take a picture.
Shes giggling being asked about being the "it" girl. She responds that theres so many of them and just says thanks for the complements and that it is still awkward.
She also said she was on her second show(the show showed anna sui) and naomi came over to her and said that she really liked her walk.
Coco was smiling the whole time and was soft spoken but still bubblish.

Thanks for posting the screenshots, Faith. 
From what I can see, the pictures seem to be in very good taste, as if they're following the saying, "less is more."
