With her statuesque frame (almost 5'10) and bewitching gaze, Filipina sensation Charlene Almarvez—or Chat, for short—is the talk of the town, starting with that little town, Sao Paulo. That's where, just weeks ago, the leggy Aquarius placed first runner-up in the Ford Supermodel of the World contest. It was a coup, and proof that an Asian invasion is imminent, even if the the high school student and majorette in the marching band is probably only concerned with unpacking after an epic move to New York.

Posted by MargaretI love Chat. Has achieved a lot already.........considering it's been only one month since her win. This is a good first season for her. At 5'11 with a 22 inch waist and only 17......she will go a long way :) Not as edgy as Tao but still distinctively Asian, Chat can look sharp and sweet at the same time.
