Kirstie Clements: Demelza Reveley no Alice Burdeu

Cirque Du Soleil's Dralion - Australian Premiere

Australia Vogue editor Kirsite Clements has clearly not been impressed with Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 winner Demelza Reveley since the very beginning.

She spoke out openly against Demelza’s bullying in the house, immediately denied Demelza the cover of Vogue and now, the editor is brushing off Demelza’s editorial spread which appears in the next issue.

The spread is titled “You Be the Judge.” This title could be taken as a play on the Top Model process, but it could also be asking the readers what they think of Demelza and whether she’s truly top model material.

“Look, Demelza scrubbed up all right, but she’s got a bit of a way to go – she’s very young and she’s no Alice Burdeu,” Kirstie said, when asked about the spread.

You can see a photo from the spread here.

Do you think Demelza has what it takes to make it as a top model? Or will this spread be the highlight of a mediocre career?

    I’ll never understand how they could let Caris go.

    No, Demelza is not top model material, no matter what the “judges” say. Everyone with the tiniest amount of experience in the industry would know that.
    It has nothing whatsoever to do with her “bullying”, and she is a pretty girl (not my type, but that’s OK). Her photos were uninteresting, and quite a few of the experts on the panel said so on more than occasion.

    Caris, on the other hand, has that rare gift of morphing every picture into something almost magical. Like all her photographers said: she is as photogenic as it goes.

    But what )I don’t understand AT ALL an find highly objectionable is the reason why they let her go: supposedly she was “under-height”?
    Really?
    Did she SHRINK during the competition?
    Because I am pretty sure she was the same height when she entered as a contestant and they let her progress until the final phase. How come she suddenly became “under height” (at 173 cm!) in the final stage of the competition?

    Add to this a few contestants that should never had been accepted at all… and you get one of the oddest, and certainly the worst, cycles of this series.

    I hope Caris gets booked all the same.
    She deserves it!

    I was appalled at the blatant favoritism that was shown to Demonzella through out the top modle show. I think it’s poetic justice that now she can’t book any real jobs. She shouldn’t have been allowed to continuously squeek through during top model, They eliminated girls who were much more qualified and would have done so well in the real world. They eliminated the most beautiful girl, Camila, because they said there was more to modeling than being a beauty, But then said Demonzella is just such a beauty, and pushed her through week after week. It was just disgusting.
    I doubt if I will ever watch another ‘Australia’s next top model’ because the favoritism and bias was simply intolerable and makes me question the integrity of the show as a whole. Good on Australian Vogue for denying her. That was a smart decision on Kristie’s part.

    I personally voted for her.
    I could not stand ‘little miss fake’, and was so relived she won.

    I feel other models in the series had more potential, but am happy with Demelza.

    One thing I feel though, is that we won’t be seeing Miss D in Aus Vogue again any time soon…

    Demelza is a tart and didn’t deserve this in the least – I bet her parents paid people to vote for her. They should have left the decision up to the professionals.
