Do you see the difference? OSU Student Appears on Tyra Banks
Posted April 29th, 2009 by MattAmerica’s Next Top Model, perhaps? Virginia Rafaelle, an OSU international student in biology, appeared on The Tyra Banks Show earlier today. According to the Daily Barometer Rafaelle was flown to New York City in order to appear on the show for her resemblance to Kim Kardashian. Viginia is also featured on the OSU Student Events and Activities Team. Read more about her here. (BTW, OSU students have been all over television these days. Remember Matthew Zedwick’s appearance on Deal or No Deal? Or how about Kerri Vanderbom in the Gatorade commercial?)
The photo on the right of Virginia was taken by Jayce Giddens. (Thanks Jayce!) From the set-up shot, it appears that this was taken at OSU’s Dixon Recreation Center indoor track!
Anyone have video footage of the TV show?

There is a tv show, I don’t remember the name now, but they have ordinary people who resemble stars. Most don’t really resemble the stars too closely in my eyes, but Virginia certainly does resemble Kim.

Striking resemblance. Not to be crude, but the real test would be a shot from the back side.
