Manhattan’s 34th street is enjoying a special mural add-on: a painted replica of David Beckham’s H & M Bodywear Ad Campaign photo. Which, conveniently, doesn’t include t-shirts or any other clothing item other than a pair of white trunks. Which costs $14.95. Notice the price tag placement, as well as the H & M tag. Why would that be ?… (wink)

Giant Poster With David Beckham’s Body… Wear

I wouldn’t know, but I know this much: I absolutely, unreservedly looooove my Adored Husband’s facial hairdo! So this (shhh! It’s a surprise!) could be his upcoming Birthday present! (one of them, at least!) Anyone tried it already? Please share your experience, I’m really interested!

And because, let’s not forget, it’s the Super Bowl, there’ll be a testosterone overcharge surrounding the stadium and the TV sets at home, the good H & M people played Animals’ “Please don’t let me be misunderstood”. What’s there to miss/ understand, anyway? (oh, and after the jump – a good minute and a half with David Beckham‘s behind the scenes footage!)

So Michael Fassbender is the name you’ll have to follow from now on – he’s the new actor fancied at Hollywood! I can’t say I’ve seen him in many films (for now I can only think X-Men, but I’m sure there’s more to his curriculum) – how about you? Did you see his on-screen performance? How do you feel about him?

(like him or not, you won’t get away from him this month – he’s pretty much everywhere on the newsstand – from W’s Brad and Charlize February 2012 to Interview’s February 2012 and Hollywood Reporter’s cover – there’s more after the jump and you can check out the gallery here)

Hollywood Loves Michael Fassbender. Do We?

What? Wait a minute – they all sport serious facial hair! What’s going on here? Gillette’s new ad campaign addresses men who style their facial hair! The Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler it’s a 3-in-1 $19,99 battery operated device that will be available February 2012 through your usual Gillette retailers (you can see the Styler after the jump).

I’m really excited to hear about this, I think it’s a wonderful tool and I’d love to give it a swirl on my Adored Husband’s regular unshaved look (that I absolutely looooove!). I’m a simple girl and I have simple (but stubborn) pleasures – my Adored Husband’s facial hair is one of them! (there I go, I said it! – if anyone else feels the same, please step forward, let’s join hands!)

Brad Pitt? Well… Needless to say nobody cares about him anymore since he’s with Angelina Jolie. He’s clearly a very presentable male still, only the female population has rejected him because of his partnership with world’s most beautiful woman (of 2000 and something, according to some magazines). So – charming pictures for both of them, well done W Magazine! The February 2012 issue is more interesting than a regular Vanity Fair. Ooops! (the story continues right after the jump, click here for the gallery!)

The pictures were taken by Mario Sorrenti and as careless and cool Brad is trying to be, he’ll fall into that 40-something years old men in magazines clichés. (I realize it’s a long title for a cliché, but stay with me and you’ll see what I mean). Think Johnny Depp? His kind of laid back cool? Think Clooney – his way of being funny in a seductive way? All middle age men featured in magazines are portrayed as being totally relaxed, fully aware of their worth in every way and.. well, not trying to prove anything.

With women, on the other hand, it’s an entirely different story – women can’t be laid back and not giving any damn except in their 20s. When they reach the age men are portrayed as laid back, women wear more and more makeup in various magazines. Light is dimmer and dimmer on their bodies. Shadows and merely suggested sheer clothes, hotel rooms and loneliness (if not a very young male in the immediate proximity, usually with his back at the camera, or at the very woman in question, in a complete lack of interest towards her). I’ll stop here, asking you if you too have noticed the above and asking you if there’s any chance to stop objectifying women in fashion magazines. However, this is not W’s best pictorial this month! The best is yet to come!

Truth is, I’m so alienated by men’s latest fashions, I rather stay away from it. For style integrity reasons. Prada’s fashion show, however, was different. You had to stick till the end to catch the good part, get over the frowns and the severe faces parading up and down in a very German cadence on a strange, strange mix and get to the best part: ending the show were some very interesting faces, to say the least! Adrien Brody, the great Gary Oldman, the amazing Tim Roth and the majestic Willem Dafoe put their model suits on and took the crowd to a level of frenzy never attained before (in this show, at least). Too bad about the chewing gum, though! Now, do feel free to watch the show after the jump and taste the excitement! (oh, I almost forgot about Emile Hirsh and Jamie Bell who were also in the show)

Who cares nowadays? It’s a good remake (ahem adaptation) of a famous moment in time, so it passes! It’s an interesting salad of Philippe Petit’s Man on Wire and Ebbets’ Constructors Lunch, all with a rock’n’roll grin. Would people remember the original and buy Varvatos to pay homage to that? (I laughed out loud writing that last sentence!) Will they buy Varvatos because they love Green Day? Who cares? It’s just another fashion ad campaign at the end of the day and in few months another shot will erase this one from our memory!

How About Green Day’s Spring Summer 2012 Ad Campaign For John Varvatos?

It’s true we’ve seen him do it before, for Armani, but I’m sure women worldwide don’t mind seeing him at it again! Just in time for Valentine’s Day 2012! So the details: David Beckham’s bodywear collection for H&M is a lucrative team embarked for a long trip. The first stop is this February, in 1,800 stores worldwide. Hopefully, if the customers are buying the new line, women (and more) around the world will see more of David Beckham sans clothes in H&M’s future ad campaigns! Happy? Sad? Indifferent? (hit the jump to make up your mind!)

Robert Downey Jr, my lovelies, is, without any doubts, one of the most sought – after actors of the moment. Whether it’s for Iron Man or Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey Jr. is just as professional and as committed to the character. Plus he’s funny too. And now he’s expecting a baby. Sort of. His wife is. He’s the living proof rehab can really change a life. For the best! (wink) (how’s that for a new year topic? You can read more about Robert Downey’s Jr Fitness here)
