Chinese-Canadian model Jessie Yang is another one of those lovelies that we were happy to see a submission from. She has only been modelling for about a year and a half, but she’s already making major moves. Appearing all over the interwebs, she’s also going to have her own show called ‘Young Artists Interactive’, coming out in 2013 on Rogers TV Peel Region. We’re sure that this hottie is bound for greatness.
