i love this pic too.. love Jaslene.. her season is on today! and it showed that when she didn't get picked the previous season, she actually told Tyra that she would be back!.. then came back to take the win, and is very successful now.. what a story!!!
^ I think she'll continue to do well but I highly doubt she will ever be a topmodel / supermodel. And I do not want this to come off as a racist comment, because it most certainly is not, but many of Jaslene's examples of print work are from hispanic magazines. If you were to take away those she would have had a lot less work. Please don't take this the wrong way, I think she's a pretty girl and versatile but her race has help her obtain more print work.
I totally get what you're saying, Chartreuse. But even with the whole race card I still think she's done well for herself. Like, I consider Naima to look very Latina - and if she had, you know, TRIED... Naima probably could have booked a lot of Latin magazine covers like Jaslene.
