Don’t you hate it when you see models with long legs, expensive clothes, beautiful face & body, and everything you could possibly wish for?  I think I’m talking about that Alicia Longlegs from “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” But anyway, don’t you think those models seem completely alien to us?

Guess what? The other day I was searching Vogue.com.au and stumbled across an interview with a real girl who enjoys reading and doing normal stuff, apart from the GUCCI modeling.

This 22 year old’s name is Abbey Lee Kershaw and she was just a normal girl from Australia who won a model competition in the Australian teen mag Girlfriend.  She is now world famous, but in this interview she seems pretty down to earth.

What are your style secrets?
“I love secondhand stores. I see potential in everything. It’s about opening your mind to what you can do to the garment: because they’re cheap, you can cut them or stitch them and if you stuff it up, it’s fine, it’s only two dollars. My favourite outfit was this black lace dress that I found in a vintage shop in Williamsburg, New York.”

What is your favourite label?
“Gucci. So beautifully made and awesome to wear. I love the suits and jackets.”

Do you have any hobbies?
“I write a lot – everything, poems, music- so I always have my Moleskine journal and a pen with me, and I read a lot.”

What do you consider to be the best part of your job?
“That I get to be someone else, I get to create a character. I’ve thought about acting but I think it would take a big toll on your personal life. After modeling I’d like to study therapy: I love art and psychology, so it’s a good mix and it’s such a broad area, you can even work in prisons.”

And what’s more? She is ranked equal 13^th on the “model ladder” according to Models.com, plus she’s gorgeous!!
