Vogue Editor To Demelza: ‘Alice Was Better’
11:15AM Clem Bastow | If Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3 winner Alice Burdeu’s post-show career boom was like a steaming hot dish served on a sparkling silver platter, then Cycle 4 winner and professional bully Demelza Reveley’s desserts are served cold, coagulated and with a hair on top – in a polystyrene container.
After already damning the teenage wannabe with faint praise, Vogue Editor In Chief and AusNTM judge Kirstie Clements has once more stuck her Louboutin boot into Reveley.
Branding the Reveley feature with a non-committal “You be the Judge” caption, Clements yesterday conceded the Foxtel face had received “a big leg up” in achieving the polished and professional look, The Daily Telegraph’s Sydney Confidential reports.
“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,” Clements said.
“I felt like I’d said enough about Demelza’s behaviour on the show, so I opened up the forum to the readers to let them have their say.”
As for the shots themselves, Vogue released a sample to the press and, well…
If the series was titled Australia’s Next Top Impersonator Of The Alien From Close Encounters After It Had Had A Go In Amy Winehouse’s Makeup Case, then I would applaud it. However, since it isn’t, I say underwhelming. More » 
Australia’s Next Top Model 4 Round-Up – Update!
11:50AM Clem Bastow | The infamous Vogue Forums have been ablaze (320 pages and counting!) with rants about Demelza Reveley’s AusNTM win last night, with Voguettes threatening to cancel their Vogue subscriptions because of the 16-year-old’s bullying behaviour during this Cycle of the show.
As was mentioned previously, Vogue Editor In Chief Kirstie Clements did not vote for Demelza – and to calm the forums down (or likely inspire exactly the opposite), she has posted an official announcement on the topic:
Part of Reveley’s prize is a shoot in Vogue Australia’s September issue, with the magazine under a contractual agreement with Australia’s Next Top Model to feature the winner on eight pages, but don’t expect the amateur model to appear on the cover like last year’s winner Alice Burdeu. “Alice was such an exceptional case,” Clements says. “It was clear from the very beginning that she had the makings of an international model.”
BIZZAM! “Amateur model”! “Contractual agreement”! Drawing impossible comparisons with the Divine Miss Burdeu!
Demelza, you might have won on a technicality (that “general public” vote, pfft), but you just got served. More »
