A Vancouver woman is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame after tweeting a look-alike photo of herself posing like American supermodel Kate Upton.
In the photograph 22-year old Ania Korkh is posing topless in a winter coat, similar to the supermodel's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover.
Korkh says she originally took the picture as a joke with a friend and then tweeted it to friends.
But then they decided to tweet it to the supermodel herself, who then retweeted the look-alike photo to her thousands of fans.
