After a brief stint with UW Retail Service’s Leather Jacket ad campaign, Megan McNeil, or as she likes to be called, “Méganne”, has decided to pursue a supermodeling career. She is best known for her “Megnum” look, which is her own take on the “Magnum” look by Derek Zoolander, her mentor.
We managed to track down Ms. McNeil to answer some of the burning questions that have been on everyone’s mind.
Q: Did you always want to be a model?
A: Funny you ask! When I came into Engineering, I thought it was mostly about modelling. See, there are many courses about systems modeling… CAD modeling… You know, that stuff. So I guess, yes. I did always want to be a model.
Q: How did you get into modelling?
A: Well, it’s a funny story, really. I’ve always been passionate about fashion and giving advice to everyone, but I was finally noticed last month by the devilishly handsome Yasser Al-Khder in the C&D. He noticed my proper use of leggings as I filled up my mug with tea, and all I heard was “DAYUMMM GIRL, THE BACK O’ YO LEGS IS RIDICULOUS”. And he told me there was nobody else he could imagine beside him in the Leather Jacket ad campaign. That’s when I knew I was meant for this.
Q: What are you afraid of?
A: It’s funny, really. The thing I’m most afraid of is the murder of cute, innocent animals for the enjoyment of humans. I know it sounds ridiculous considering my modeling career started with a Leather Jacket ad, but there are exceptions to every rule. Like how leggings can sometimes be considered as pants. BUT ONLY SOMETIMES.
Q: Who do you consider your style icon?
A: Oooh, that’s a tough one… Although I’ve always been a big fan of Honey Boo Boo, I’ve gotta give it to Kate Upton. THAT GIRL HAS GOT IT GOIN’ ON IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES. I’ve even put my face on her Sports Illustrated cover as inspiration.
