Jarah Mariano is the first Asian American model to grace the pages of Victoria’s Secret. A mix of Hawaiian, Korean and Chinese descent, she also campaigns for MAC, Armani Exchange, and Sephora. Bruce Weber immortalized her in L’Uomo Vogue alongside her father; she was also the subject of Weber’s lens for Abercrombie & Fitch. Jarah is a Pace University graduate and currently resides in New York City.
Now Alessandra Ambrosio won’t be the only reason guys will be flipping through their girlfriend’s copy of Victoria’s Secret!
Her face is ok, but her bod is really nice and I love that tan she has!

She’s actually not the first Asian American VS model. Audrey Quock freelanced for VS years ago. See http://www2.victoriassecret.co.....122838.jpg And there is Asian (Japanese)/Brazilian Aline Nakashima, who has been doing this for some time, although not recently.
can ihave anotehr pics, she is very sexy
she is gorgeous, im down
i heard that shes also mixed filipino …just like her last name MARIANO is a filipino family name..so mixing diff kinds of blood in asia gives her so much edge in gorgeous dept. huh!

[...] It’s about fucking time Victoria Secret lets in a slanty eye. I mean asian women are by far hotter than any other race. I know that’s a person preference, but it’s my blog so it’s my fucking personal preference. So there. And even if you look past that. Asian’s are hot in marketing right now. Check out all your commercials you got asians selling you everything. Makes you wonder, if Victoria Secret actually thinks Jarah would be a good model for them or if they are just jumping on the slanty eyed band wagon. Regardless, we get to look at the hot hawaiian, Jarah Mariano in nearly nothing. I’m okay with it. [...]
She’s not mixed filipino by looking at her last name. She states that on her myspace. Her dad was adopted. So they are unsure as to what ethnicity is in him.
