Next Top Alice Off To NYC; Steph Books Compensatory Ticket To “Morocca”

Having been gifted with the cover of Vogue Australia and relocating to Sydney, Alice Burdeu – winner of Australia’s Next Top Model Series 3 – is finally jetting off to claim another of her prizes: meeting with model agents in New York City.

Previous winners were given meetings with specific agencies, but Alice will be ‘up for grabs’, meaning she could end up on the books of “power agencies” like Next, IMG or Supreme, rather than contractually fobbed off to nobodies – and word has it said agencies are already keenly awaiting her arrival.

“I’m really excited – I can’t wait. To be honest I’m pretty nervous but it’s an amazing opportunity,” Burdeu told Confidential.

Fox8 will announce a fourth series today, with Meares returning as host.

Meanwhile, in news that will not shock anyone who had their stomach churned by AusNTM host Johdi Meares’ blind devotion to runner-up Steph Hart, the girl who didn’t know that Moroccan food comes from “Morocca”, Steph has been booked as the new “face” (and body) of Meares’ Tigerlily label.

She looks much better than she did while the judges were fawning over her, but we still don’t “get” the Steph thing. But then maybe we just need to visit Morocca and find ourselves.
