Du Juan
Du Juan (simplified Chinese: 杜鹃; traditional Chinese: 杜鵑; pinyin: Dù Juān; born September 15, 1982, in Shanghai, China) is a Chinese fashion model, film actress, and former ballet dancer. She has been touted as the world's first international Chinese supermodel. She remains the first and only Asian model to be on the cover of Vogue Paris, and has appeared on the cover of Vogue China a record 13 times, more than any other model or celebrity.
Biography
Early life
The only child of architect parents, Du had originally pursued a career in classical ballet, training at the prestigious Shanghai Theatre Academy for nine years. She eventually grew too tall to find a suitable dance partner, being over six feet while en pointe.
Modelling Career
A former Ford Supermodel of the World runner-up, Du made her runway debut in Spring 2006, walking for prominent designers such as Valentino (opening and closing his bridal show), Jean-Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli and Chanel.
In 2005 Mario Testino photographed her for the cover of Vogue Paris, along with Australian model Gemma Ward, becoming the first ever Asian cover-model. This led to a flurry of ad campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Gap, Swarovski, United Colors of Benetton, and Yves St. Laurent. With multiple bookings being a rare accomplishment, particularly for a new face, Style.com the online home of Vogue and W magazine, declared her one of the top ten models to watch for the Fall 2006 season. She graced the cover of the premier issue of Vogue China, once again alongside Gemma Ward, and has since become a fixture in its pages, appearing in almost one editorial per issue since its launch in 2005. Du appeared on the cover of the 2006 TIME style and design issue alongside fellow model Coco Rocha, and was one of the models featured in the 2008 Pirelli Calendar, shot in her native Shanghai.

Use Me
Tijon - Use Me
Intro (Bill Withers)
I want to spread the news, That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me, Till you use me up
Verse 1
I take their breath away, Even take their stress away
With me you could spend the whole day, (Till you use me up)
I got a special kind of glow to me, Strictly what they blow to me
I promise I started white as the snow, homie
The haters might call me, wash up or cook down
I'm cooked up and broke down, They got me for the low now
Or so they say, I got the low down how it goes down
I've been buffed and boofed and rode in coupes from NY to the O-
Town
All white, with a little shade of yellow
So you say im oriental stay around some Philipinos
My father -- a masonary, he works with the Arm & Hammer
My mother been crushing Willy Wonka, stays in coco powder
Streets devour power just to keep my ass up on their counter
They cant live with see me up the hands of a counter part to them
Or mother, sister, brother, cousin, uncle, You been my lover?
They sayin he'll break ya down, He'll let you down
All jealousy they fell for me they miss my kiss
Look at their mouths, Coated with my sugar bliss
So freeze and picture this, Me and you it's effortless
Just flick the flame and light my stem, We'll be heaven sent
Hook
I want to spread the news, That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me, Till you use me up
Verse 2
You know I love you, Any storm we can weather
I'll be your bestfriend forever baby (Till you use me up)
Then I gotta go you need me? You know where I stay
Uptown, Lennox Ave, Any time of day
Look I love you, But you got to have the right pay
Cause my handler, Well he's known to get carried away
All my dates, He calls them junkies, Serves them two a day
He's got to be protective, He knew me since I was sugar babe
Plus I copped him cash and cars, We mingled with some superstars
From Whitney, Doc, and Darryl, To some heads of city council
In theirs heads now I can counsel, Navigate or mediate them
That's a come up from the Pyrex vision, kitchen tables
I'm up the street and down the block, Around the corner you can cop
You work with me?, We call it clock
But watch out for the cops, They roll up pop and lock us up for this
All I am is coco crisp cooked... You know what?
I think they want a kiss
See I've seen them looking, Passionately grabbing at me
Served his daddy '88, Now he wants to hit the base
Bad with the face, Lost it in the game
