‘Be My Slave’ Photo Shoot Depicting White Woman With Dark-Skinned Child As Servant Ignites Fury

It would be different if Aqeel were an anonymous photographer or artist of some sort who wasn’t trying to sell any product, but this isn’t the case. Aamna Aqeel is a designer, and ‘Be My Slave’ is an advertisement with a pretty model and pretty clothes and a very, very ugly message. More »

Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia Shoot Depicts Forbidden Love Between Blonde Model & Orthodox Jew

Fashion loves itself some pointless, puerile provocation–and no kind more than it loves co-opting religious figures and iconography in wacky/sexy/edgy situations. More »

Q: Is there a baby monkey?

A: Of course there is a baby monkey. More »

Check Out These Fantastical Images Of Elegant Paper Dresses

Every few months there’s some fashion editorial/event/publicity stunt in which someone has made a dress out of something not traditionally used to make dresses. Recent examples include cheese, gummi bears, toilet paper, roadkill, beetle wings, 3000 cow and yak nipples… In the time between those stories, we hear of industrious teenagers making prom dresses from similarly unlikely materials: cardboard, homework, etc… More »

Lena Dunham Eats Cake For Breakfast, Takes Off Her Pants For Terry Richardson

Gallery: Jennifer Lawrence Does A Respectable Version Of Blue Steel In Vogue Italia

Did you know that Jennifer Lawrence is not actually an oppressed teenager like Katniss Everdeen, but a 22-year-old woman who would almost be out of college by now if insanely successful young actors went to college? It’s true. (And yet, it still kind of creeps me out that the grown men who populate AskMen.com voted her “most fuckable woman of 2013” or whatever.) Perhaps in recognition of her budding desirability, her latest fashion spread in Vogue Italia veers away from Vogue UK‘s shout out to sweater fetishists and focuses more on hot young actress fetishists, as well as clothing fetishists (duh, it is Vogue). Check her out executing some serious fashion poses and making some serious sexyface, then cry bitter tears of “WTF?!” when you remember that she is obese by Hollywood standards. More »

Gallery: Here’s Kate Upton’s First Full Spread In American Vogue

About four months after publishing a single, novel photo of Kate Upton wearing lots of clothes alongside some teasing copy that pondered whether she’d ever make it as a fashion model, American Vogue has gone all in and done a full, seven photo spread of her shot by the very classy Steven Meisel. Once again, she’s wearing clothing! And not just any clothing: clothing by Donna Karan, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, etc. Why, it’s almost as if she’s a real model. She still doesn’t get to appear as just another model without commentary on her joie de vivre, but it’s a start. They even managed to keep the backhanded compliments to a minimum this time. How very. Personally, I’m starting to think being the Kate Upton kind of model is just a little bit more fun than being the regular kind, even if she’s not as artsy-fartsy. More »

Gallery: Rashida Jones Shows Off Her Ridiculously Sexy Side In Flaunt Magazine

Earlier today, one of my Facebook friends posted a link to this photo spread with the comment, “RASHIDA JONES, COT DAMN.” I clicked the link, only to find sweet and beautiful Ann Perkins like I’d never seen her before. While Rashida Jones is obviously a good looking woman, she tends to style herself more in a cute way than a sexy way, so I was surprised to find she’d done a sultry, wetted down, lingerie clad shoot for the aptly named Flaunt Magazine. Not that I’m complaining. Here are the photos in question, plus some photos of her normal look for comparison. More »

Gallery: Marion Cotillard Is Pure, Retro, Womanly Glamor In Dior Magazine

As if last month’s three magazine covers weren’t enough, French actress Marion Cotillard continues to arrive this month with an insanely gorgeous spread in Dior Magazine. I know “feast your eyes” is a huge cliché, but seriously, if photos were eye food, this editorial would be a sumptuous banquet complete with bacon-wrapped dates and some little chocolate petits fours for dessert. Credit goes to the photographer and stylist as well, of course. Click through to see what I mean. More »

Gallery: Naked Kate Upton Holds Onto Various Things For Balance In Contributor Magazine

Have you ever toppled over whilst in the nude? I’ve done it so many times that I probably should’ve come up with a creative name for it by now, and let me tell you, it’s never a good look. Maybe that’s why Kate Upton can be seen grasping onto so many things in her latest sexy photoshoot. Trees, drapes, tables…better safe than sorry! But wherefore this sudden vertigo? Has the weight of her boobs’ magnificence grown so great it’s now affecting her balance? Or did someone simply spike her morning Starbucks with Malibu? Let us investigate. More »

Gallery: Tali Lennox (Daughter Of Annie) Models The Crap Out Of Some Clothes For Interview Russia

When last we checked in with her, up-and-coming model Tali Lennox was doing her best to model some clothing despite the creepy directions and unflattering photography of Terry “tampon tea” Richardson. “If she looks that good modeling clothes while grabbing crotches in Uncle Touchy’s basement,” I wondered, “how good must she look normally?” Answer: quite good! Take a look at her wearing clothes and touching zero crotches in a nicely shot, styled, and directed editorial from the August issue of Interview Russia. More »

Gallery: What’s Going On Between Nicole Kidman And Clive Owen In This W Editorial?

In the May issue of W Magazine, Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen star in a retro-styled editorial meant to drum up excitement for their upcoming HBO film, Hemingway and Gelhorn. Unlike the film’s gritty Spanish Civil War setting, the editorial is pure Hollywood glamor, but the two actors’ chemistry is definitely still there. Let’s try to decode its narrative. More »
