Che (as the title remains) posted on Facebook. Mayor Che was with her hubby and
children. She also met her Beauche
business partners. “My family experience in Dubai is beyond compare, so
amazing, every place we go so much fun and enjoyment, so with the Dubai
Shopping Festival, shopping spree, great experience,” added Mayor Che.

I
have to admit that I am a fan of Tyra Banks and Sophie Sumner. I like Tyra
because she is helping other girls to achieve their dreams in the modeling
world...and most of all, featuring and wearing creations of Filipino designers
for her show, the America's Next Top Model.
And
there’s Sophie Sumner. She might be a Brit, but she's also America's Next Top
Model!
On
screen, Sumner looks sultry, so fragile that she overwhelms movie audiences
with her mere presence.
Anyway,
Sumner was in Bohol last week to shoot a Bohol episode for her new travel show
on Discovery Channel. It was made possible thru Boy Dumadag and Michael Yu of
Blue Grass Project, a firm engaged in event styling and landscaping; Tel . No:

Bohol’s rising hairstylist “hair majesty” Ryan
Sines (who also styled Miss Universe 2010 4th runner-up Venus Raj and other
actresses and models) and make-up artist EP Relampagos had a close-encounter with
Sumner.
Surprisingly,
in person, Sumner is self-effacing, very shy and soft-spoken but dignified and
respectable just the same, speaking in subdued tone in a detached but still
warm and friendly manner.

posted on her Instagram. “Thank you for
having me #bohol- apparently I look like this little tarsier? What do you
think?” Courtesy: Sophie Sumner on Instagram |
She’s
petite, believe it or not, and she couldn’t be taller than 5’9”.
“She
is very friendly! She’s kalog and down to earth,” shared Ryan. “Her fame is
also not in her head and she is totally unaffected by it. Whatever style we had
for her she didn’t complaint. She’s really a supermodel!”
“She
knows some Tagalog words like salamat, magandang araw and mahal na mahal kita,”
added EP.

Sumni
was a runner-up of Britain's Next Top
Model, Cycle 5 and later won America's
Next Top Model, Cycle 18.
And,
did you know that Sumner is Emma Watsons’ bff?
