Michelle Rodriguez Does Maxim January 2010

I decided to bring Michelle Rodriguez to your attention, with a Maxim pictorial, because of Rihanna’s GQ. Because it feels strange to see such overdressed decency in Maxim. Doesn’t it?

Michelle Rodriguez is, to my understanding, a little troublemaker and rebel in her own glass of water. And even if it’s pretty strange that Hollywood would not embrace her rebellious self, Michelle Rodriguez comes with a clean act in James Cameron’s Avatar. Hence Maxim’s January 2010 attention!

I can’t believe the things you can do with a washing machine! It’s like a tiny spark flew from the Christmas magic tree bringing everything to life.

Maytag is wishing everyone Happy Holidays with a 50-something seconds greeting card that’s already making the rounds of the Internet. Because it’s worth it! Only 5 days left till Christmas! (and please don’t try something similar at home!) (for a larger version in high quality, check out the Maytag page here)

Louis Vuitton is happy to join the Christmas spirit and they’re bringing their vision, though luxury and monogram distorted, to the festive table.

Actually, their Christmassy campaign was inspired by Charles Perrault (yes, like in Little Red Riding Hood’s author) so make no mistake, there will be something magical about it! (and some extensive Photoshop use for a good fairy tale cause) Now if they would have used Gaga for the set, I would have been a happy girl! Merry Vuitton Xmas, Dahhhlings!

It started as a vintage day and that’s how it ends! Let me entertain you full viral flavor with a musical piece wrote and performed in 1972 by our Italian friends as proudly represented by Adriano Celentano.

(if you don’t understand what the song is about, don’t worry, you’re not supposed to! Back in 1972, they even used to fake English! And they faked it good!)

Call me old fashioned and outdated, but if I’d ever see one of my boys dress up and gear up like that, I’d faint on the very spot!

It just came to me – we’re talking about the Grrr factor though I never actually asked you how do you like your men? Seeing this Dazed and Confused January pictorial doesn’t make me think about men. It makes me think about troubled adolescents throwing tantrums. Is this the way men fashion should be? Is this how the new “men” are supposed to look like? (click through to see more images!

Jamie Bochert is the new it model right now. Maybe because the fashion world has had enough of Lara Stone and her Bardot-ness, terribly skinny punk looking androgynous Jamie is just what we needed! At leas I embrace her presence (as you’ll see soon) in next year’s ad campaigns.

Why am I talking about Jamie Bochert? Because she’s the one bouncing for Lanvin’s Spring Summer 2010 campaign! Right next to Inez and Vinoodh who were photographs and photographed for Lanvin’s campaign! (the story continues right after the jump with more images!)

Some days, it’s really not easy for Santa to bring all those presents to boys and girls all over the world! Some days, it takes more than 24 Hours to pull that mission: impossible right!

Some days, even Jack Bauer has it all wrong! But behold! Only 6 days til Christmas! Ho, ho ho! (if you’re not familiar with the almighty Jack Bauer, don’t let this get to your heart! It’s an innocent video and Santa wasn’t harmed in the making of this clip! Oh, and… Merry Christmas!)

From Vogue to Australia’s Shop Til You Drop Magazine there’s a mighty long road to travel! But Keira Knightley did the cover for January 2010 SHOP (til you drop) and she’s looking far more lovely and natural than any Vogue (or high fash-glossy magazine) she did before!

I like her hair, her normal outfits and the girl-next-door feeling she’s giving me when I look at this photo shoot. Except the cover (and maybe that’s partly the scanner’s fault and we don’t have the best image to judge) – over plasticized, too much photoshop smoothing – Keira looks young, fresh and joyful! (click through to see more images). Did you miss Keira? (photos via)
