gorgeous! she looks so sexy & i love the haircut 
WHEN Aussie model Catherine McNeil was a teenager, she dreamt of being a motorcycle mechanic -- she had no visions of being on the cover of Vogue magazine.
But after winning Girlfriend's Model Search of 2003, her life changed forever, culminating in her move to New York this year where the world's top fashion photographer Mario Testino snapped her up.
Within 10 days of meeting her, Testino had booked her for D & G and Hugo Boss campaigns and signed her to a six-month exclusive editorial contract.
That was just the start. She went on to open the prestigious Givenchy show in Paris and all the couture houses from Chanel to Dior scrambled for her to be in their shows. After working in 35 shows in Paris and Milan, she was declared the biggest discovery of the season.
Still only 18, McNeil, who was raised near the Gold Coast, is trying to take her new success in her stride.
"I don't really deal with it all as I take each day as it comes and the big picture is not what I can focus on," McNeil said.
"This was never something I expected, so I've had no choice, which makes things easy not hard."
Her Australian agent, Kathy Ward, describes McNeil as a rare beauty heralding a new look in modelling.
The Girlfriend Model Search hopes to uncover another McNeil at Westfield Southland, on June 30.
OMGG~~ iss pepa ur thoughts.. on versace turned out tu be trueWell weve got D&G covered...
Im thinking she would only do another one or two, maybe three at the most. They wont want to overexpose her.
I would love to see her do:
Nina Ricci
McQueen
Versace (probably unlikely but she is the right kind of glamour for it)
Balmain
Maxmara
Just my personal preferances for her, your opinions?


Well I hope whatever the issue is...it improves because she is getting a lot of good opportunities but with no pop to her pictures...she'll stall out. I mean compared to other new girls like Lara Stone...she is missing that connection.
She does have a stunning look though...very glamorous...
