She was definitely my favorite model out of the crowd.

I don't know what pictures you are looking at but the pictures I am looking at right now are of a light skinned black woman.<BR/>I am not trying to make this about shades of color. I am just saying that there's nothing fresh about her look. Her face looks tired and she resembles so many already existing successful/working black models and actresses.<BR/><BR/>As for Catherine MacNeil, I think she is a plain jane and completely uninspiring and unattractive. Why she is successful, I don't know. I guess that's just my opinion, kinda like how I think Chanel Iman is a mediocre model fit only for commercial brands like GAP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581615684343808280.post-5364429442532156422009-01-03T13:20:00.000-08:002009-01-03T13:20:00.000-08:00@Ogegevivkie-Where do you see light skin?

In the D&G ad, she looks a bit like Beyonce to me.

There's really nothing special about her. <BR/>* she looks like Noemie Lenoir...minus the "wow" factor<BR/>* her look is very commercial and she has a "safe" beauty. Too safe for high fashion<BR/>* I've seen so many black models like her before ( the light skin, long weave etc etc, you know, all the white characteristics)<BR/>* She's borderline video vixen to me...especially on the 8th picture.
