Sydney Morning Herald; Gal pals have it covered

Andrew Hornery
October 18, 2008

ON THE pop culture radar celesbians - girls who like girls almost as much as they like headlines - are the new "black". It was only a matter of time before an Aussie was leading the charge and taking her new gal pal with her, causing rumours and mirth backstage at the world's major fashion shows.

The Australian supermodel Catherine McNeil has been getting cosy with a fellow clothes horse, the Danish-born beauty Freja Beha Erichsen, over the past few months. And yes, they make a very pretty couple though they are yet to confirm it - well, publicly at least.

Nonetheless, in an era where celebrity couples, even the same-sex ones, are tagged with cheeky hybrid nicknames (Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson are known as Lesbohan, while newlyweds Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi got De Generossi) McNeil and her new gal pal have already been labelled McBeha.

McNeil's Sydney representatives at the modelling agency Chic declined to comment. McNeil's manager, Kathy Ward, would only say that McNeil was "in a very happy place right now".

As for her mystery absence from the catwalks of the recent Milan and Paris shows, PS understands it was ill health that kept the genetically blessed Queenslander away, not "personal issues" as reported elsewhere.

Fashion bloggers have been having a field day. The Sydney-based Frockwriter site has been abuzz with chatter about McNeil's supposed new relationship, gleefully pointing out what a lovely coincidence it was that McNeil was gracing the cover of the November Australian Vogue while her supposed girlfriend was on the cover of Vogue Nippon.

McNeil has shot to the top of the international modelling scene over the past year. She has far more pressing matters to address than gossip about her personal life, such as landing what would be her biggest career coup yet: the cover of US Vogue.

McNeil spent last week in Los Angeles shooting a 12-page spread with the photographer Mario Testino, featuring the hot US actor Jon Hamm. The shoot will be in the December issue of US Vogue and McNeil is shaping up as a major contender to grace the cover.

so, what i got from that article was the hilarious name McBeha... i'm still laughing about it.
but more importantly, that Cat could possibly be on the cover of vogue us in december!
although i'm not getting my hopes up considering anna's track record... but wouldn't it be lovely to have a cat cover of vogue us!

 

[Faith Akiyama]

It would be nice for Catherine...but I highly doubt that will happen

Hilarious how they picked up on McBeha, though. That word really has been getting around!

 

[michelabella]

I so hope its true!

 

[Ninel 28]

I love it ! Both so beautiful, both such real people.
Catherine is too good for US vogue, although it will really say something about how far she's come. Bitter sweet? lol.

McBeha will be extremely seductive however a picture tells a thousant words so if there are no pictures of them together it will just be boring stories.

 

[liz_rulez]

Im excited about the vogue spread. I love you Jon Hamm, actually i love Don Draper.

 

[peachescream]

there are pics of cat and freja together, or of mcbeha, but they not kissing or anything, they're just sitting on each other's laps, or holding hands or whatever.
nothing conclusive, and pictures that could mean friendship but which people with overactive imaginations will turn into a lesbian love affair.

 

[FashionTopFace]

Darling I saw all their pictures together. The ones backstage Chanel. The one backstage Hilfiger and the one at the Danish festival. Those images were most romantic other than that i havent seen flirtatious/romantic images. If you know any please share.

I was watching arena, and they had a behind the scenes of her shoot for madison. she was sooo cute! they were interveiwing the editor of madison and the interviewer goes to her "what made you choose these girls for the shoot" (the aussie models on the cover of madison) and the editor is like "I chose the girls that are at the top of there game, like catherine mcneil she is one of the top models at the moment" or something like that... I cant remember anything else...

^^Whoa! For real? She's doing LA? Seriously?

 

[lozz]

That's a pic of her from New York a few seasons ago so I think it's just a random fashion pic they chose to put with the heading?

 

[KiroTV]

^I was thinking this as well

 

[ad032915]

I would laugh then cry if she did L.A fashion week.

 

[KiroTV]

I was getting ready for a prayer circle if she skipped Milan and Paris to rest up for LA. This too shall pass you guys...
