Last we checked on Jessica Cambensy, she was actively modeling in Hong Kong, where she is known as “Jessica C” (kinda like how Margaret Quigley goes by Maggie Q).

In July, she released a photobook called Just Jessica C that she is very proud of. And just a couple of weeks ago, Esquire magazine named her Hong Kong’s Sexiest Woman Alive.

It turns out though that she recently left Hong Kong and has returned to the United States. According to her Facebook page and this article, she arrived in Los Angeles last week and is renting an apartment in Santa Monica with the intention of auditioning for Hollywood films over the next few months.

I for one am wishing her luck, it would be great to see her become as popular here in the States as she has become in Japan and Hong Kong!

Cheryl Beth Tenbush is best known for kicking serious ass on Season 2 of the reality TV series Beauty and the Geek, teaming with “geek” Josh to win the competition in pretty much a landslide (just take a look here at how many of the weekly challenges she won). It was almost unfair because she was clearly more intelligent than the other “beauties” on the show, but then again would you expect anything less from the Asian girl? And she was memorably hot: Complex Magazine recently named her the 25th hottest woman to appear on reality TV. A highlight reel of her appearance on the show can be seen here, and a couple of post-show Q&A’s can be read here and here.

Since appearing on the show, she has worked on multiple projects, such as hosting the web series Cewebrity and being a style guru for the now-defunct Honeyshed online video shopping channel. She has also appeared in several movies, most recently in the film Father vs. Son (check out her IMDb profile for more details).

Cher is half Korean, a quarter Irish, and a quarter German, so you can add her to the list of lovely Korean+Irish ladies to be featured on this site, or if you prefer, the list of half-Asian+Irish+German ones (which includes fellow ass-kicking reality competition star April Wilkner).

Check out Cher’s Twitter @chertenbush, her YouTube channel, and her old Xanga blog. Also check out her Wikipedia entry and this unofficial fan site.

I found this while researching yesterday’s post and thought it deserved an entry of its own. I don’t know if Jessica Michibata actually plays tennis, but she looks like a natural on the tennis court (and on the beach) in this photoset.

The title of this post is dedicated to:
(1) Jessica’s Argentinian father (of partial Spanish descent), and
(2) whoever it was at my high school that used my Spanish textbook before me, who found the phrase “jugar al tenis” (“to play tennis”) and overwrote the T with a P. Still cracks me up.

Here’s another entry inspired by a reader suggestion (thanks Ken!)

Amee Enger is a half-Filipina and half-Norwegian model. At age 19, she was a Top 10 finalist in the South Florida casting call for Cycle 9 of America’s Next Top Model in 2007, but somehow didn’t qualify to appear on the show despite her ludicrous hotness.

More recently, she had some sexy photos taken for Maxim by Yann Dandois, was named Zoo Weekly’s Babe of the Day, and was featured in an Asics marketing campaign photographed by Ronnie Fieg.

Amee is on Facebook and MySpace.

As an aside, I’d like to point out that you can site search for pairs of ethnicities by entering a URL that combines two tags with a plus sign: http://half-asians.com/tag/ethnicity1+ethnicity2. For example, you might compare the Filipina+Norwegian mix versus the Korean+Irish mix to try to determine which is hotter. Or try your own combinations and see if you can come up with an even hotter mix.

Yes, Kate Beckinsale is part-Asian: her father’s mother’s father was Burmese, which makes her one-eighth Burmese (and seven-eighths English).

Rachel Sterling is a model, actress, and burlesque performer of Mexican, Korean, and Apache descent. You may remember her from her memorable topless scene in Wedding Crashers, or as Playboy’s Miss May 2006, or as the cover girl of Estevan Oriol’s L.A. Woman, or as a Juggy on The Man Show, or as a member of the Pussycat Dolls burlesque group. If you’re more old school then you might remember her earlier work as import/pin-up model Angel Veil.
