Creepy Chan (Allison Harvard)

About

Allison Harvard, also known as Creepy Chan, is an internet personality best known for her appearance on the reality TV show America’s Next Top Model in 2009. In threads featuring her more zombie-like states, she is referred to as Tussin Chan. In threads featuring her softer, innocent side, she’s called Cute Chan.

Origin

Pictures of this very big-eyed person started popping up on 4Chan in late 2005. The photos there feature a range of looks, usually landing somewhere between Fiona Apple in the video for Criminal, to Genie the wild child.

Allison Harvard’s own photos and drawings take on the cliche of “heroin chic” and add a whole new layer of weirdly interesting macabre beauty.

Spread

In March of 2009, Allison Harvard did something no other meme had done before. She gave us a reason to watch America’s Next Top Model. Ak!

On the May 6, 2009 episode of America’s Next Top Model, Celia was sent home and Allison had the top photo, making her one of the final three models.

In the finale on May 13, 2009, Allison was passed over as America’s Next Top Model, coming in at number two behind Teyona Anderson.

Many ANTM fans have hypothesized that Harvard is faking her fascination with blood in order to gain attention. Her Flickr page would seem to support claims of having a fascination with blood.
