![Jarah-Evelyn Makalapua Mariano[1] is an American fashion model of Hawaiian, Korean, and Chinese descent.[1]
[MY OWN NOTE: Just by the family names alone - Makalapua and Mariano - this chick has GOT to be FILIPINO - and then let’s take a look at her features - FILIPINO!!! interestingly enough the Flip heritage seems to be covered by the Hawaiian claim. What’s up with that? I met this girl at the Justin Timberlake concert in the summer of 2008.] BUT WHAT WAS I TALKING ABOUT? GORGEOUS!!!
She was born in the city of Lihue on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, but at the age of 4 relocated with her family to California, where she was raised in the city of Mission Viejo with her two older brothers. At the age of 15, she was discovered in Santa Monica, California by a model scout. After graduating from high school, she moved to New York City, where she continued to model and attended Pace University as a full-time student, receiving her degree in Speech Communications with a Media Studies Concentration. Mariano has appeared in ads for Victoria’s Secret, MAC, Armani Exchange, Sephora, Roxy Quiksilver, Rock and Republic, Redken, H&M, and Avon.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/NJmdcGbXSk792hkwY4Rr7usCo1_500.jpg)
