I don't know if you've been following the news lately, but there's been a massive buzz surrounding Susan Boyle, the 47 year old singer from the U.K. who has supposedly never had a kiss. Granted, she's a bit frumpy and a bit of an underdog, but when you hear her sing, it'll blow your mind. You just never know the odds someone can conquer when they set their heart to something.

I was reminded of Susan's story when I read nymag.com's bullet on Rachel Clark. Apparently, she had an "ugly duckling" experience in high school which was written about in the Palm Beach Post and titled, "Revenge of the Nerd". From supposed humble beginnings in Florida to modeling for Dior, Mizrahi, and walking the runways of Paris (a list of unmentioned prestigious clients goes on and on).

Rachel, long may you Rock On!
