>> We had a few clues as to who made the cut for Terry Richardson's 2010 Pirelli calendar when he shot it last month in Bahia, Brazil, but now Italian Vanity Fair has the details on the full cast, which includes Daisy Lowe, Georgina Stojiljkovic, Eniko Mihalik, Catherine McNeil, Lily Cole, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Miranda Kerr, Ana Beatriz Barros, Gracie Carvalho, Marloes Horst, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Terry produced thousands of images from the shoot with the girls holding sloths, fruit, roosters, and holding hands while running through waves in little else than a bikini bottom.  The goal this year was to use "no makeup, no reflectors — only the flash of the camera — no branded clothes or jewelry, no girls altered surgically," said Andrea Imperiali, manager of Pirelli on the set. Fifty images will make the final cut when the calendar is debuted Nov. 19 in London, but until then the gallery below — which is NSFW — and a video of the shoot will have to do.

>> While Marc Jacobs is gearing up to accept the CFDA International Award for his work at Louis Vuitton next week, he sat down with fellow honoree Anna Sui and revealed that his tattoo count now rings in at 31 — his latest is of "Elizabeth Taylor from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? with 3-D sunglasses on."  But he's keeping the ball rolling at Louis Vuitton — yesterday Catherine McNeil was photographed for the Cruise 2010 lookbook in St. Tropez — the location was inspiration for the collection — and she's keeping her job from last year as the face of Vuitton resort: she shoots the new campaign tomorrow.

Look Book Love: Seafolly, Summer '09

Catherine McNeil never looked so good.
Look Book Love: Seafolly, Summer '09

Catherine McNeil never looked so good. Maybe it's because she's modeling Seafolly's Summer delights in her native Australia. Maybe it's the sharp-cut suits and breezy cover ups. Either way, it's a match made in Summer heaven. If the name sounds familiar, it's because many a celeb beach body has sported these sturdy yet stylish suits — babes Mila Kunis and Lauren Conrad to name a couple. Flip through for Summer swim inspiration, and if you must know (I did), this was shot at the Lizard Island resort on the Great Barrier Reef. Excuse me while I melt . . .

>> THE MODELIZER —Are two models involved in a love triangle?  Pictures have surfaced of Catherine McNeil — who was rumored to have broken off her highly-speculated-but-never-confirmed relationship with Freja Beha Erichsen — kissing openly gay MTV Australia VJ Ruby Rose Langenheim last Saturday at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles.  Curiously, Myf Shepherd, who just scored her first Vogue cover — for Australia's July 2009 issue — was also photographed kissing Ruby Rose at the Jimmy Liks restaurant in Sydney at the beginning of this month.  Both Catherine and Myf are represented by Chic Management in Australia; Ruby Rose has been represented by the agency in the past.

>> Yesterday we learned that Catherine McNeil was recently down in Brazil shooting the 2010 Pirelli calendar with Terry Richardson along with Ana Beatriz Barros, Gracie Carvalho, and Georgina Stojiljkovic.

Today, photographer JD Ferguson posted an impromptu interview with Catherine, who just got back from Brazil, where she said she "smoked and chilled" with a girl named Daisy, "and then it was my turn on set."  Catherine calls the shoot, "Amazing. Best job I've ever done," and implies that a girl named Abbey was also there.  So does this mean Daisy Lowe and Abbey Lee Kershaw were also in town for the Pirelli shoot?

While you're pondering that, Catherine also talked raw veganism — she just converted six weeks ago — and tattoos — she was "embarrassed to say" how many she has, but finally admitted she has 14:

I'm getting a new tattoo. I'm putting it right here, and it's all these arrows that point in the same direction up this way and it signifies law of attraction.  I'm getting it in white. [Getting tattoos] is about bringing good energy into my life. They're addictive. Like seriously addictive. Plus, all mine are hidden so it's not a problem anyways.

All the Models Who Attended the Met's Costume Institute Gala

Models are always welcomed at Met's Costume Institute Gala, but since last night's exhibit was all about them, they felt way more at home. Current models like Hana Soukupova, Coco Rocha, and Isabeli Fontana mixed and mingled with classics like Stella Tennant, Alek Wek, and Maggie Rizer, as well as old-school Supers Amber Valletta, Kristen McMenamy, and Nadja Auermann (left). It was a site to be seen; one that melted my heart. Every one of them ruled, and one young blond model even came on the arm of a Hollywood actor! Let the model mania begin . . .
