It's been a big month for local models. After Vision model Monique Darton was announced last month as a (model) contestant on the current season of Project Runway and Will Defiel (another Vision model) recently walking the runways in Milan.

The next cycle premieres March 10 on CW. Congrats, Raina!

And yes, we know. She looks like Denise Richards.
