There is always a first for everything. The face of the world is changing and hopefully it will continue to change more and more as the years go by.
We’ve heard of Dingdong Dantes being included in the TOP 3 on E!’s Sexiest Men in the World. Maybe an Asian face is not such a bad thing after all. The corporate world somehow has a ceiling on Asians but it is changing as well.
While in high school, Liu Wen entered and won a laptop through a modeling contest in China. She originally wanted to become a teacher. However, after winning that modelling contest, she has been featured on FHM, Marie Claire and Chinese Vogue. And in 2008, she made the cover of Chinese Elle.
It pays to dream big… however, when asked – she still prefers to go back to China and become a teacher but admits to enjoy modeling for now.
“In the classroom everyone respects the teacher. The teacher has all the control and has the ability to shape all of her students’ lives,” Wen said. “But for now modeling is such great fun. I’m still trying out new sexy faces.”
How humbling is that? Congratulations Liu Wen!
