i know he's not a model but someone told me johnny depp was part native american (?)
it would explain his killer cheekbones and skin

 

[CelineChic]

People like that Trace Reef are totally white in skin colour and it's quite hard to believe that he is part Native. Surely he must have something to accentuate Native features, like a darker skin tone. Apparently Cameron Diaz is part Native too...

Not all native tribes have dark skin Some of natives in Northern Canada looks russian because they have light skin.

Samantha Harris

Deadly Vibe Issue 89 July, 2004

Her face is her fortune

At just 13 years of age, Samantha Harris already looks set for stardom. This striking young girl from Banora Point, near Tweed Heads in northern NSW, was selected from more than 5500 entries as one of six finalists in the Girlfriend magazine Covergirl 2004 Model Search competition.

Samantha had read about the competition and travelled to Brisbane to take part in the magazine's nationwide talent-spotting roadshow. She is the first Aboriginal person to be a finalist in the annual competition.

"She was there really early with her mum - you could tell she was on a mission," says Girlfriend's acting editor, Danielle de Gail. "When we got to meet her, it was obvious how stunning she was, and the fact that she was Indigenous made her even more appealing. We don't see enough Indigenous models."

Samantha is no stranger to modelling contests. She entered her first beauty pageant at the tender age of five, and has been a regular finalist in local competitions ever since. At just 11, she was chosen as Model Most Likely to Succeed in Dolly magazine's 2002 Model Workshop.

But Samantha's mum Myrna knows that she doesn't need to worry about her daughter getting carried away with all the attention.

"She's a good kid," says Myrna with pride. "She's very level-headed. I don't feel as if I have to worry - I know she'll keep her feet on the ground."

As part of being a finalist in the Girlfriend competition, Samantha has won a contract with New York-based modelling agency Chic Model Management. She also took part in Sydney's renowned Fashion Week.

"I've wanted to be a model ever since I was a little girl," says Samantha. "And I want to be Australia's first Aboriginal supermodel."

After the finalists were announced, they were all flown to Sydney, where the girls took part in a professional photo shoot.

"The photo shoot was fun, but you'd be surprised what hard work it is," Samantha admits. "And the other girls were really nice - we got along really well."

Samantha has impressed with more than just her looks. Her pleasant personality coupled with her strong determination to succeed have also drawn their fair share of attention.

"She's a really sweet, very genuine girl," says Danielle. "And I believe she has what it takes to make it as an international model."
