Who knew? Connie Chiu?

February 5, 2007

 

Look, I made a rhyme.

Anyway, I thought this was pretty awesome. Did you know the only albino high fashion model is Chinese?

Meet Connie Chiu. She’s from Hong Kong, but moved to Switzerland because, according to wikipedia, the “sun rays were kinder.” Aww, that’s so sweet of the Sun. I didn’t know it could do things like that.

What I don’t get, though, is how she became a model being 5′6″ tall. I’m 5′6″. But then again, I probably weigh like 50 times more than her.

More pictures here…

  2. SCARY


  3. I think she is achingly beautiful. Who cares if she’s only 5′6? She is so unique and gorgeous, a real gem. She’s ethereal.


  4. realy realy creepy!


  5. The Wiki article says she moved to Sweden, not Switzerland.

    I’m proud of her :)

  9. wow shes stunning a realy beauty. how can you think shes creepy or scary she’s just a realy stunning person


  10. Hola yo soy de Mexico y admiro mucho a Connie y e estado tratando de contactarla desde el 2002 ya que me facinan las mujeres albinas y ella en especial es bella intelectual emprendedora y su biografia meha servido para motivar a mujeres albinas ya que pertenesco a un geupo de apoyo para personas albinas OLA ( Organizacion Latinoamericana de Albinismo)y quiero decir Gracias Connie por ser un bello angelito


  11. SHE IS XTREMELY BEAUTFUL!!!!!
    I LOVE ALBINO WOMEN!!
    I LOVE PALE NATURALLY PORCELAIN SKINNED

    & LILY COLE & KAREN ELSON!!!
    CONNIE IS A 50 OF 10!!
    A REAL KNOCKOUT!


  12. She’s otherworldly.
    Great to see somebody with Albinism recognised for their beauty instead of for their “scariness”.
    She’s just stunning.


  13. The thing about being a model is that they aren’t just usually tall, they’re beautiful. I think it’s obvious that Connie’s extreme beauty makes her height (or lack thereof) inmaterial.


  14. Just a word Beautiful


  15. Connie Chiu’s looks are ethereal~ Very unique and very herself.

    I’m proud that she as an Asian with albinism has became the model that she is today~


  16. Cute as hell!


  17. There are a lot of immature people who feel that if you don’t look like them, you are unaccptable. Everyone is unique, and so is Connie. I have the same condition adore her.


  18. Gets cuter everytime I look!


  19. Jason… where’s Freddy!


  20. Jason… I’m here to KILL YOU!


  21. shes so hot


  22. she is really pretty and very beautiful, we are just like each other. I have albinism and she is so cool. My Mum thinks she is inspirational


    • Hi!
      Me too!
      Except my mom has the condition but I think she is an inspiration!


  23. Anybody have her number? LOL, I wish! God I wanna meet her so badly! So what if shes 20 years older than me! I wouldnt say no!


  24. as a mother to a person with albinism, i am especially struck by these gorgeous pictures of ms. chiu. my 13 yr old daughter has aspirations to model, she’s the same height and has the same coloring. (maybe a little on the ‘blonder’ side than white) and i’m wondering how ms. chiu deals with nystagmus in her photoshoots. has she had surgery?

    absolutely gorgeous. kudos to you!


  25. She’s beautiful.
    And who cares about height, Kate Moss is only 5′6 and I don’t see her getting penalized for that, she’s one of the most in demand models in the world.
    Connie is beautiful and a real inspiration :]


  26. I am glad for her. My skin is so pale if my hair were blonde people would think I was albino (I have dark brown hair and very light eyes, go figure).
    As for height – well as a former model I can tell you that there is a category known as “petite” modeling. What does this mean?? It means shorter gals can model petite sizes. Kate Moss is of course a petite model. Being 5′11″ I was not in this category but always had respect for those who were.
    I think this woman is utterly beautiful. She is so unique and stunning, it’s only natural she would be a great model and role model for others.


  27. Rar


  28. Having fun is what its all about!


  29. a ravishly beautiful petite gem!

    she’s gorgeous <3


  30. If you go to http://images.fashionmodeldirectory.com/model/000000058905-connie_chiu-fullsize.jpg you can see a picture of her with a very seethrough top on! Nice nipples! Oh yeah, Im albino but I have the green type. My balls litterally look like grapes!


  31. she moved to SWEDEN, not Switzerland.


  32. she moved to sweden,not switzerland


  33. there are plenty of models out there that do not meet the 5′7″ minimum height range. These under-5′7″ models are more likely to be catalog/print models than runway models. such famous examples are Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe, Dita von Teese, Samantha Fox, Leah Dizon, Kaila Yu, Natasha Yi, and Tila Tequila (who is too short to even be a model — 4′11″).


  34. forgot to add: it’s a common misconception that one has to be tall to be a model, unless that person wants to do runway modeling.


  35. The link on this page goes to a porn site.


  36. Aww, that’s so sweet of the Sun. I didn’t know it could do things like that.<— Are you being serious?


    • uh…no.
