![Yasmeen Ghauri]() ?People have always told me I should model. Finally, one man who stopped me on the street actually had details about getting started. Unfortunately, Canadians don?t really get me? I?m too ethnic looking for them. My mom?s German, but my dad?s Indian, so I got teased a lot in school, because kids never like what?s different. Anyway, when I went to live in Italy and then Paris, my career took off. Now I do everything?ads, editorial, and runway, which is my favorite part of being a model?, - Yasmeen Ghauri
