Gwyneth Tod’s Commercial

Gwyneth Paltrow. Ever sensational. Behold, here she comes, like the wine, blossoming with age, the leggy blonde high heeled Iron Man sensation!

After weeks of towering shoes and sandals, Gwyneth sets base in Rome for what’s announced to be the Cannes film festival sensation. Not, I’m not talking Iron Man! Nooo, I’m not talking a new film either! I’m talking just advertising! She’s filming a new Tod’s commercial written and directed by Dennis Hopper about a day in Gwyneth’s life with her Tod’s Pashmy bag (from which famous clip I’m posting 2 pictures, you just have to scroll down to see the second one).

Now don’t even let it cross your mind that bling mania forgets the little ones! And don’t look at your children when I say that!

Swarovski Retractable Leads from $160 to $280 it’s that purr-fect match for walking your dog in coordinated blingness. It’s long lost the meaning of “dog-life” expression! Welcome to bling my everything era!

As much as I hate trials, this very invasive one is getting on my nerves. Lancôme sued Uma Thurman. In self defense, Uma Thurman sued Lancôme.

What now? Well I guess it’s time to lay down your bets. Uma claims $15 million from Lancôme for having used her image in advertorial purposes after the contract expired. Of course Lancôme is claiming the opposite, saying (when making the complaint, just 2 days before Uma did) that she’s wrong, and demanding the judges to dismiss her claims. This should be interesting to watch! My bet is on a off-court settlement profitable for both sides – since Uma’s age requires special attention, Lancôme will offer her life time high luxury products and she’ll accidentally remember some past-signature on a paper saying she’d agree to let Lancôme use her image in some ads post-campaign-ending. What’s the price of truth?

Wind of change is blowing Prada’s counter. Either that, or Kiki wasn’t expressive as the Spring-summer 2008 Ad campaign face.

Or that blossom-insecticide-atrocity made its way into Prada’s marketing department. They’re letting go Kiki and taking Vanessa Paradis for this Fall-Winter Ad Campaing. The news goes much deeper – Sasha Pivovarova is cancelled from her Prada face post and in her place, they rather pay more than $10,000 for a retouching guru because they’ll have forty-something Linda Evangelista as their representative face.

Mr Valentino was a very modest man, it seems. Word is that Permira, the giant company behind Valentino Fashion Group is aiming for global domination.

Not only recessions rumors don’t matter back at Permira, but their future plans are mind freezing – 35 stores by 2013? If you do the mathematic you’ll reach a stunning 8 stores per year! Is Valentino copying some managerial strategy from Inditex (aka Zara)?

It’s not the person I like or dislike, it’s the way she dresses. She always makes me see her as a victim of some kind just because she dresses or poses in the weirdest ways possible.

Now she must have had a very dear cat that just died or something. Because I don’t care to explain or excuse in any other way her fur-accessorized coat and the almost-ugliest-bag-i-have-ever-seen-in-my-life. On the other hand, it must have been a really big fat cat to make such an enormous tote – you could almost carry Mary Kate in it!
(not a word about matching that outfit altogether and wearing those mucks – none whatsoever except – fashion disastrous!).

Today I came across these pictures of Keira Knightley by Julian Broad and it wasn’t something completely new. Coincidentally, today, I came across some interesting piece of news too.

About Keira. And about that completely mind-and-nerves -blowing pout of hers that makes me wish I had some super lightning powers to smash down the laptop screen when seeing another image of oh-so-adored-Keira pulling her mouth-number! Now get ready for your well-earned dose of wisdom without moderation (right after the picture)!

I wonder what’s the purpose of having a world-wide-known face to represent your already world-wide-known product…

Naomi Watts is the new face of Thierry Mugler’s Angel perfume. And I would have no objection to that if at least the advertorial would show a familiar Naomi Watts! Instead I’m seeing a blonde unreal waxy face who seems to having troubles breathing when reaching out for some star-shaped something. Don’t believe me? Just look at her sad eyes and weird smile! (then again, lower your eyes and understand all that torment – her highly photoshopped body is aching from all that intensive airbrush (click the image to have a better look).
