Based in Singapore... So does that mean she is Malaysian/Singaporean?


Posted by: Robin Hood on Jul 21, 06 | 10:11 am

she looks co chinese. eyes and cheekbones! drop-dead gorgeous :-)


Posted by: newworks on Jul 21, 06 | 11:12 am

Hmmm, her face is far too long for my taste. She's pretty unattractive for me, but her body's not bad.

I've often wondered why, when there are so many drop-dead gorgeous Asian girls on the street, Asian fashion models usually border on the unattractive (ANTM's Gina is a case in point.)

I'm certainly not likening Joanna to a car wreck, but I think the analogy is apt, because I keep looking at her, analyzing, wondering exactly WHY she doesn't work for me (mid-face too long, nose too big, mouth disproportionately narrow, etc. She reminds me of those Japanese "banana face" women.). And that, I think—Victoria's Secret notwithstanding—is what fashion models are for: getting noticed, even if it's not for the typical reasons (which might explain Carmen Kass).

On the other hand, I've noticed a whole lot more Asian women in mainstream print and web ads, and elsewhere, and they are what I would consider "typically" beautiful—see, for example, Kahi Lee. (OK, maybe she's not the best example, but I just saw her on "My Celebrity Home" yesterday and fell in love.)

I think she is sexy. Her face looks a little androgenous though but, she's still very exotic.
I think sex with her would be very stimulating.

I have mentioned previously that I think fashion models are rarely beautiful, sometimes even bordering on ugly. However, I draw the opposite conclusion to Curtis G.: I think the fashion designers don't want them to look too remarkable, so they don't take too much attention away from their clothes. To me, they almost always have the same 'look'; Joanna's face may be very unattractive for me, but it does scream out 'fashion model' to me.


Posted by: Dr. Lee on Jul 22, 06 | 3:02 am

i agree with the good doctor. too many times asian models who model for western designers are too andro looking or just plain...just tall and lean. I guess for some designers, they look for the strange look. Too bad. If you look around this site and or the japnese idols, there are some amazingly good looking asian women who also model but not looking like a dude:)


Posted by: LawBoy on Jul 22, 06 | 4:36 am

yeah, the doc and i have commented on the fashion model vs. glamour/nude/porn model thing before. different species entirely. i find myself liking a bit of both, depending on the model. but i am definitely into joanna's look...


Posted by: newworks on Jul 22, 06 | 5:09 am

In fashion, most photographers and art directors want a unique look, edgy, some attitude, not the "cute sweet asian" that many of this audience seem to be drawn towards. The "cute girl next door" would never make it in the fashion world, while some men's magazines might make her a star. But unless there are some unique features and distinguished qualities, these "stars" become "starlets" quickly, and then even quicker they become "nobodies".


Posted by: theblogman on Jul 22, 06 | 5:37 am

I'll take Joanna's engaging imperfections over hyper-glossed, cut-out types like Kahi Lee any day, thank you.

One side-bar, if I might: fashion model, girl next door, "unique look" types aside, I just want to club to death the person who launched the trend of navel piercing. It's just ass-ugly, and becomes an instant eyesore on any woman.


Posted by: InactionHero on Jul 22, 06 | 6:03 am

Amen!


Posted by: theblogman on Jul 22, 06 | 6:37 am

what about navel tatoos?...it looks like they have a dirty bellybutton..yuck. the lower back is ok though...like a target:))


Posted by: LawBoy on Jul 22, 06 | 8:55 am

Thanks guys for the Miss Universe tip! Will do a posting on the Asian contestants asap!


Posted by: Robin Hood on Jul 22, 06 | 12:32 pm

She reminds me of Lucy Liu.


Posted by: Gossamer on Jul 22, 06 | 7:37 pm

I used to be fairly pro-tattoo, lawboy, but now there's just so much bad artwork around, it's painful.

The thing about naval tattoos is that any tattoo on that area of the body is going to turn into a Dali painting when our lithe beauties get pregnant or mature into Ruben-esque shapes.

However, yes, lower back artwork can be sexy as hell. What's more, it's a part of a woman's body that does not change much throughout her life.


Posted by: InactionHero on Jul 23, 06 | 8:54 am

ditto erosdeliria...that bellybutton would looked pretty weird all distorted and what not:)


Posted by: LawBoy on Jul 23, 06 | 9:25 am

Did someone say "lower back artwork"?


Posted by: Curtis G. on Jul 23, 06 | 9:29 am

that is pretty funny...i change my vote for lowerback tatoos....as long as i dont see it later when they are older:)


Posted by: LawBoy on Jul 23, 06 | 10:23 am

Curtis has got a very strong arguement:

"I've often wondered why, when there are so many drop-dead gorgeous Asian girls on the street, Asian fashion models usually border on the unattractive (ANTM's Gina is a case in point.)"

I'm like looking at my own friends and quite frankly they blow Joanna pretty far out of the water.


Posted by: Jeffx007 on Jul 23, 06 | 6:28 pm

Same here. And quite frankly, it isn't just the fashion models they blow out of the water. I suspect the best looking Asian women still have a tendency to just marry themsleves off to rich and/or well-educated guys, instead of becoming models or whatever.


Posted by: Dr. Lee on Jul 24, 06 | 1:45 am

I agree and I wonder how Joanna even became a professional model?

I think the majority of us agree that there are much better looking girls out there, which is why it is up to us all to keep a look out for them and post their pictures on this site!

Preferably in sexy lingerie....
