He, like quite a few of the super stars of soccer at this year’s World Cup, has been just a little off top form. In fact, we were still waiting to see what he was made of, when Portugal exited the tournament. While he was busy spitting at cameramen, he could have been doing this [...]

The pressure to be picture-perfect, excellently-well-dressed plus photogenic in upmarket clothing ads is hardly news. But sometimes the outrageousness and insanity of the photoshopping can stop the most jaded of readers, dead in their tracks. In Ralph Lauren’s world, for e.g, moppets are exquisitely groomed. They do not have snotty noses. Their hair is brushed, [...]

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER’S NEW LINGERIE. PRETTY. PRICEY.

by hurricanevanessa on June 30, 2010

Jean Paul Gaultier has launched his first ever lingerie line, with La Perla. As a designer, he is perhaps most well-known for designing the iconic cone-shaped bras Madonna wore on her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour. This range is apparently less sculptural/attention-grabbing/outrageous. It’s pretty. And pretty pricey too. The 27-piece line will range from $600 to [...]

CANNAVARO, RONALDO, ROONEY AND THE CURSE OF NIKE.

by hurricanevanessa on June 30, 2010

The Guru loves his PVR. Like many men of a certain age, he is really 14 years old and has happily entertained himself for hours during dull moments in soccer games by hitting stop, rewind and slo-mo. Last night we were at the game and missed this example of great sportsmanship from MR C Ronaldo: [...]

When Nichola Formichetti beagn to post these images (shot for the September issue of Vogue Homme Nippon) on his blog, with no explanation, the internet buzzed with rumours that they were of Lady Gaga. They’ve now been credited to “Jo Calderone “but speculation as to the true identity of the model has only grown. “Who [...]

After all that, it was a joy, to receive the report back from the COSMO COVER girl workshops, in my in-tray, this am. I know I am biased, and think our readers are just about the most wonderful creatures on the planet. But look. This is how you do it! Want to have a go [...]

In her latest interview with Vanity Fair Angelina says “I have a happy home… I got back from work last night, and everybody was playing music and dancing and I suddenly found myself dancing around with a bunch of little fun crazy people.” Translation: “Piss off all you jealous haters/tabloids/media/everyone.” She says Brad is, “good [...]

BLOG LOVE: STUFF NO-ONE TOLD ME (BUT I LEARNED ANYWAY)

by hurricanevanessa on June 28, 2010

Alex Noriega is an illustrator living in Madrid, and I love him and his blog, “Stuff no-one told me (but I learned anyway.)” He says he has “poor grammar and spelling skills,” which is one reason why I love him. Here are some of the other reasons: From Stuff no-one told me (but I learned [...]

WHAT WENT WRONG WTH WAYNE ROONEY. DISTURBING EVIDENCE.

by hurricanevanessa on June 28, 2010

Watch Nike’s “Write the Future” Ad, again. The Irony! Next stop, for Wayne Rooney? The caravan, the beard and the job as a waterlogged linesman? Probably not. Sadly, he and the rest of England’s U9a team will not even be sent to the Tower of London. But, they will be reviled and will never live [...]
