Wanted: Child Models Who Resemble Sasha And Malia

New York Magazine reports that young models who look like Sasha or Malia Obama are in high demand:

Madison Avenue is scrambling to adjust to a new era, when the most admired people in America are a black family. To reflect this reality, talent scouts are on the hunt for models who look like the Obama children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10. "People are looking for girls who resemble them," says Charlie Winfield, the head booker at FunnyFace Today. Tali Lev, an agent with the Gilla Roos agency, keeps links to her "Sasha" and "Malia" model lists on her desktop for easy access. "Photographers even want them for their portfolios."

It's easy to see why: check out a slideshow of Sasha and Malia Obama's Most Adorable Inauguration Moments.
