She may not have won last year’s Sports Illustrated (2016) Model Search<\/a> but she’s still a winner to us (actually, all of ’em contestants are winners to us).<\/p>\n

But we’re going to admit that this girl is our fave there.<\/p>\n

\"Kyra<\/a><\/p>\n

Miss Kyra Santoro<\/a>\u00a0is someone who you’ll always want to look at every friggin time! \u00a0Remember the teen flick ‘She’s All That’ (‘course, you do)? \u00a0When lead female character, Rachael Leigh Cook<\/a>, turned into a hot version of uhh Rachael Leigh Cook? \u00a0Well, she kinda’ reminds us of that. There’s a resemblance, really. Slight but noticeable. Don’t believe us? Here<\/a>\u00a0(Rachael) and here<\/a>\u00a0(Kyra). \u00a0Only, Kyra is 10 times hotter.<\/p>\n

\"Kyra<\/a><\/p>\n

Kyra Santoro (She is of Italian descent), nicknamed KEKE, was born on March 23, 1993. \u00a0She is from Calabasas, California (but now resides in Los Angeles). \u00a0She is a model who is currently signed with Newmark Models and Osbrink Talent Agency.<\/p>\n

Kyra was named ‘Miss October’ by Transworld Surf (she’s also a surfer) in 2012. \u00a0In 2015 she won the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition ”Model Search” Contest. \u00a0And in 2016, Kyra (together with Erin Heatherton<\/a>) appeared in the 2016 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.<\/p>\n

\"Kyra<\/a><\/p>\n

Her Instagram<\/a> may not hold millions of followers, but it is sizzling like the best of ’em. \u00a0And even though Kyra is already an established model, she still wants to become a teacher or a cosmetic RN (Registered Nurse. She studied nursing).<\/p>\n

\"Kyra<\/a><\/p>\n

Kyra is both intense and pretty mellow when it comes to her music preference. \u00a0She’s really into rap (She likes Tupac) and ‘oldies’ music. So if you want to get her attention, blast some of that Gangsta’ rap or play a few Barry Manilow’s. She’ll probably look in your direction (no, not you exactly, but to where the music is coming from).<\/p>\n

Kyra loves what she does (modeling) and according to her, she stays for the passion and the enjoyment.<\/p>\n

And while were speaking of enjoyment, here…
\nEnjoy these pictures!!!<\/p>\n

Again, you’re welcome.<\/p>\n
