Cassi's modeling dilemma

Cassi Van Den Dungen, the "boganista" of Australia's Next Top Model, has everything it takes to be an international runway star — except the right attitude.

Having finished the competition in second place, the lean, leggy beauty has already been offered a contract with prestigious New York modelling agency Elite.

But while it's an opportunity many would kill for, Cassi says she's "in two minds" about whether to take up Elite's offer, saying she would rather settle down in her hometown of Sunbury.

"I'm not confident to go overseas just yet," she says. "Elite is wanting to sign me over in New York — I've got the contracts, but I'm still thinking about it."

Cassi insists she can develop her modelling career from Sunbury, on Melbourne's outskirts.

"I don't live that far from Melbourne city," she explains, "so I can stay living in Sunbury. I don't live that far out. It's my hometown, I've lived there my whole life."

Top Model winner Tahnee Atkinson is stunned at Cassi's reluctance to take the offers she's received.

God should have given her beauty to someone who wants to model. Not to someone who would rather get married to that guy. No offense, but he just looks like a loser who is holding her back...

Maybe this was written before. They said she snubbed the contracts, so...she can't still be thinking about them. However, she can still go international and sign with another agency. If she just wants to stay in Sunbury to develop...ok. But it sounds to me like she really doesn't want to leave Australia, and neither does her boyfriend...so...then what?

Gonna put my two cents in.
Throughout the whole competition, Cassi kept changing her mind about whether she wanted to stay in the competition. This isn't any different. Yes, the girl has amazing potential, but clearly she isn't in the right headspace to start up modelling, either in Sydney or overseas. She's only 16- plenty of 16 year olds would be too scared to do so too. On top of that, she doesn't seem to have a great family support base behind her. So you can understand her clinging to her boyfriend. She has enough potential that if in 6 months or a year, there will still be agencies that want her. I'm sure she could've nabbed an exclusive in NY and just walked that one show in September, but obviously she doesn't feel confident enough to do that.
She's special, but there are plenty of other great models out there to follow!

Was he being sarcastic? Love him nevertheless.

 

[soymilkfreak]

^ yes he was

Give it time, and she will be in New York. She just need's to mature.

I miss her already and it has only been a week since the finale.

[soymilkfreak]

ugh....she is so pretty. Beauty and the beast.
Mikarla said that Cassi & Brad met around 21 months ago at the bar.
forget the fact that Cassi was at the bar at such tender age lol, it means that this creep was hitting on a 14-15 year old in his mid-twenties!

 

[daggertrepe]

Ew...that pic of him is BAD
