things I find most interesting about Catherine McNeil: nothing.

But good for her to be able to parlay her super hype into another season of campaigns.

can someone explain to me the model adoration on this site? these girls did nothing but have the good luck to be born tall, leggy, and beautiful.

There's really no way to discuss fashion news without including models. If you only want to look at clothes, I'd suggest Net-A-Porter, although (gasp) their homepage has a lot of girls on it, too.

Wow, what a unnecessarily snarky and still completely pointless answer Faran. I don't mind seeing clothes on models, I just don't understand why you hold them up as icons to be adored instead of as genetically gifted walking clothes hangers doing their job like everyone else?

Ruby's is actually in NoLita, fyi. McNeil just lives in the LES.

Model adoration is better than celebrity infatuation. Models are more beautiful, nicer, and usually smarter than most of the sorry excuses for role models that are on the cover of US weekly. Plus, they are way better dressed.

On another note, I love your reference to my favorite book on grammar.
