Jessica Caban, our very first Model Latina, is steady hustlin' modeling gigs. I recently spotted her in three pages of the Aug./Sept. issue of Complex magazine. On page 27 she models a sexy foil-like swimsuit by Norma Kamali; on page 47 she brings all the boys to the field, holding up a pair of Adidas' fall James Bond for David Beckham kicks; and on page 59 Caban shows us the return of letterman jackets.

I was surprised that the ladies trusted each other enough to reveal their deepest feelings so early in the season. Codie admitted: “To tell people you stayed in a relationship for three years with a man that hit you…it’s embarrassing,” And even Zuleyka broke her tough front to every hater’s surprise. Read More

We asked users which Model Latina Miami contestant was their favorite and so far the majority feel Christine has what it takes. It's kinda hard to argue, looking at the pics she sent me (below.) Christine's a true chameleon, taking on a new look with every shot. Sometimes it's hard to tell it's her! Her body's bangin', she's a proud Nuyorican, and is a pro in front of the camera.
