She probably hasn't posted any pictures yet as it is likely she will have some magazine deal. Didn't she announce her pregnancy through an Australian tabloid? Ok Magazine?

[radolgc]

yes, show us the photo of you and Cassi, how did you meet her and when? Tell us more! And do not crop yourself.

Of course I'd love to see it

[glossypages]

so tempted to crop myself out, it's funny looking back now I look so different to then,
but then again, the photo was from September 2009
Well at the time she was in my hometown, Adelaide to do some parades because the then agency, tanya powell, was connected with her and could get her in.

She was nice, quieter than I'd expected and almost nervously shy,
And her fiance was with her too, tagging along at every oppourtunity like guarding her,
but she didn't really know anyone else because she's not from here, except for another girl form the show who was in the shows.
okay sorry im rambling

story short, september 2009, rundle mall parades adelaide, ugly hair and makeup, me and cassi.

[radolgc]

I've been reading over forums for the past few hours I just want to make a few things clear starting from the start.....1) There was NO money involved with the contracts and I turned them down for better offers.....2) Brad was NOT the reason why I chose not go over sea's, I wasn't ready plus i had no tear sheets which you NEED for good work. Brad was the ONLY one who let me and encouraged me to make my own choice.......3) Paris- We were there for 2 1/2 weeks, exclusive promised then turned down on the 1st day of fashion week. It was not turned down because of brad they never met/saw him. 2 weeks after we came home they took me off I.M.G web page as there were to many job offers........4) Drake was not named after a rapper....I saw the name and the meaning when used as a name (dragon/serpent) told Brad and we fell in love its perfect........5) When it come to me going back to work yes I will. When? well when I am ready..........lost of all my weight........just to make it clear I just want to be at a healthy weight within my B.M.I confused about anything else ask me don"t just assume.

I'm glad we got the whole paris debacle cleared up. I don't understand what she means about IMG, there were too many job offers in Australia??

[JungleCat]

I guess she means too many job offers in Europe. Jobs in Australia wouldn't have been a problem for her...

[radolgc]

always good to hear the news from the original sourse of information Thanks for posting this and I am happy she has job offers, this means there is a big modelling career ahead of her

Cassi is still with IMG by the way

Yes I am still with IMG. They took me off because to many clients wanted to book me 2 weeks after Brad and I were back in Aus from Paris.

She wants to go back to modeling in about a year.

Quote:

I plan on being back at work by this time next year.

I'm really looking forward to see her back at work

There is an article (and more pictures I guess) in the recent Australian Women's Weekly.

[helen-rox]

Aww that poor baby, must be tough for her too. Although it looks like surgery has helped drastically cant wait to see more work soon

[Mea Culpa]

The difference after surgery is night and day... must've been scary - a cleft palate can make feeding difficult...
