BLUE-EYED babe and noted Hottie McHotterson Emily DiDonato turns 23 today, so we are celebrating with a look back over the past year in Emily goodness. The workaholic who is one of the busiest girls on our roster (and they're all busy) had something of a banner year, with a seemingly-endless string of campaigns, commercials, covers, and what-have-yous. What's more, all her hard work earned something a Halston hat tip from from Vogue Paris's Carine Roitfeld when the editor made Emily the face of a cover story on modeling's the biggest up-and-comers. We happen to think she's already there.

And the one for Vogue Italia in which she brought the sexy to an Andrew Wyeth painting:

There was Emily's hot-and-bothery Just Cavalli campaign:

And this very recent wind-blown, skinny-jeaned item for Caldezonia:

There were those many instances when she had us wondering if, maybe, she was born with it . . .
