has returned the model most-likely, the guest of honour at a belated
birthday lunch yesterday.

Woolloomooloo nosh spot, celebrating her coming of age - in more
ways than one.

Returning to Sydney to walk in the David Jones collections show

monkey she wanted to be growing up.

Returning to Sydney to walk in the David Jones collections show
tomorrow, McNeil's glamorous life is a far cry from the grease

With Taylor, McNeil has been hailed part of the "fantastic four"
with Sutherland Shire model Cheyenne Tozzi and Nicole Trunfio - part
of a new generation of fashion talent to parade alongside veteran
Megan Gale.

The annual store wars have emerged a battle of the ages, with Myer's
Jennifer Hawkins teaming with Mosman teen Alexandra Agostan to take
on the youthful faces on the DJs runway.

Meanwhile, Tozzi, who has hit the headlines recently for running
with Hollywood's young brat pack, was lunching a few tables away
from McNeil and her party, overheard discussing the love life she's
become famous for.

The 20-year-old, rumoured to be dating US oil heir and bad boy
Brandon Davis, announced to

her table that she had called off her engagement to Aussie surfer
Taj Burrows.

Despite the Sunday crowds, Tozzi is understood to have loudly
declared to her friends that she was asked to choose between married
life with Burrows or her rising fashion career.
