Juicy Juicy

SMELL THE LOVE

The latest Juicy Couture perfume ad is reminiscent of a certain young Hollywood lesbian couple, no? My friend pointed it out to me and I have to say I agree completely. Wonder if momager, Deanna will try to sue to get some more moolah out of her daughter's name.

Unfortunately, I can't find a picture of the ad online. If anyone can find one, please send it along!

YEEAAHHH, BOY

Marc Jacobs' latest controversial ad campaign uses a BOY instead of a girl. Cole Mohr, who beat out a female for Jacob's women's line, does have smashing gams. I'm just wondering what's behind the purse?

Marc Jacobs' Spicy Ad

BAG IT UP, I'LL TAKE IT

Victoria Beckham is the new face or "legs" of Marc Jacobs. The latest ad shows Posh Spice's legs coming out of a Marc Jacobs shopping bag he had made especially for her.

“I knew this wasn’t going to be Vogue,” Ms. Beckham said by phone from her home in Los Angeles. “I knew I had to put myself in their hands, which could be quite scary.”

She said she had a long discussion with Mr. Jacobs after he first proposed the idea, last September, and a follow-up chat with Mr. Teller, who met Ms. Beckham’s misgivings with a typical mixture of charm and candor.

“I told her, ‘You’re the most photographed woman in the world,’ ” Mr. Teller recalled. “ ‘And fashion nowadays is all about product — bags and shoes — and you’re kind of a product yourself, aren’t you?’ She was, like, ‘Uh, yeah.’ ”

V IS FOR VIVIDLY GWEN

This month, V Magazine is featuring fashion maven, Gwen Stefanie, on its cover. Actually, there are three avant-garde covers to chose from. In her interview, Gwen discusses motherhood (she gushes over her little Kingston), sex, and marriage. And of course she talks beauty, saying that she's still the little stylish cupcake she's always been:

For the longest time I didn’t even let anyone else do my makeup or hair. To be honest, my sense of style isn’t insanely premeditated. I don’t really worry about it or think that hard about it ... usually it just happens. I’ll accidentally curl my hair a certain way. I was always the little girl locked in the bathroom putting on makeup, singing, and getting a million burns from the curling iron. I’m still that girl.

I've never heard of V, but when I saw the over sized magazine with the vivid cover, featuring Gwen, I snatched up my copy. It's a good read, but crammed with ads (what style mag isn't?). It's not until you get to middle of the magazine, that you get to the meat. This issue has a really good interview with Bret Easton Ellis and an excellent section on what's happening in the art world.
