Catalog Cuties: Olivia Paradise

Olivia Paradise

Between competitive tennis and high school, Olivia Paradise enjoys a modeling career on the side. The Minnesota teen joined a local talent agency at age 11 and signed with Ford Models in Chicago a few years later. “I just wanted to see what it was all about, and I went in there and they signed me,” she told the White Bear Press. “I wasn’t really expecting it.”

Olivia keeps a good balance between school, tennis, and work. “School comes before modeling, so sometimes I have to decline stuff,” she said. “But if it’s a big job or something I’ll miss school for it.”

Some her of her clients have included Target, JCPenney, Cost Cutters, Lifetouch Portrait Studios and Kohl’s. It’s at Kohl’s where we first discovered her back in 2014.

The 6-foot, blue-eyed blonde is now with Elite Model Management in New York and Toronto. Whether she pursues a career of tennis or modeling, she’s still a cutie.

Amanda Yu

Who’s that cute Asian model in all the ads these days? It’s Amanda Yu, that’s who! We’ve seen her in Kohl’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Delia’s, Target, and even Victoria’s Secret PINK over the last several years.

We love her bubbly personality and her infectious smile that radiates across her Instagram and Snapchat. She’s with the Marilyn Agency in New York and lives in Manhattan with her Havanese dog Olive.

Next time you see her, be sure to shout out her name!

One of the most interesting things about Amanda is that she’s best friends with some of our favorite cuties. Here they all are at a charity event in New York last week.
