My imaginary model boyfriend

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you will know that I have a little thing for model Jamie Dornan.

To me, he stands out in multiple ways from other male models; he's not a skinny waif like so many you see on the runway and in ads (ahem, Prada, Burberry;) he's beautiful but rugged (he can rock clean shaven and scraggly beard;) and most importantly, he has an unforgettable face.

He always gives the camera what I call his "fuck me" look: Head tilted down, eyes looking up at you as if he's about to eat you. Or kill you. It's hot and as a result, he takes beautiful photographs and Calvin Klein really knows how to show off his best assets: his body and his face.

And for a while, I could only enjoy looking at him in magazines and the one role he had in Marie Antoinette until I found a video of him on Nylon TV. We learn that he loves hamburgers (what a coincidence, I love hamburgers too!) and he doesn't take modeling that seriously. It's a fun watch.



If you are not familiar with Jamie, then please, enjoy these photos of him (and Eva Mendes) in the Calvin Klein Spring jeans campaign.

You are welcome.

The highlight of my day

It's been a pretty boring day at work and I am feeling really tired (mostly from staying up late packing for my move on Saturday.) So when I saw the photos of my favourite male model, Jamie Dornan, starring in the Calvin Klein ads with Eva Mendes, I woke right up.

Boy is hot. A bit too greasy, but sexy.




And for some reason, the media is in an "uproar" over the CK ad that features a bunch of half-naked people. Boring! We've seen it all before. I don't see what the big deal is just because there is a little bit of nakedness going on. It's not as bad as all the violence we see on TV. The photos are pretty tame compared to all the nudity you can find in fashion magazines like French Vogue. But it's great publicity for Calvin Klein.

Straight off the runway: Eva Mendes

The Women actress was the ultimate lady in red as shes posed for the cameras at Macy's 150th birthday gala at Gotham Hall on Tuesday in New York City. I cannot begin to say how gorgeous Mendes looks in red, she should wear it more as she usually opts for neutral colours. On this occassion Mendes donned a beautiful satin Michael Kors frock which she accessoried with a pair of dusty pink pumps and silver clutch.



Unfortunately Eva's dress is available at online boutiques, however, Kors smaller label, MICHAEL Michael Kors, has produced a similar version at a more affordable price:

Straight off the runway: 'The Women' Premiere

Debra Messing is all class in a baby doll Oscar de la Renta dress from the designer's 2009 Resort collection. Messing finished off her look with Platinum by Niel Lane jewels and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels.



Eva Mendes still manages to look sexy in such a modest dress. Here the Calvin Klein model wears a black and white printed Bill Blass frock worn with DSQUARED2 pumps. I lovee the dress, but the Amy Whinehouse inspired hair do is unfortunately a no no for me.



Jada Pinkett Smith looks flawless in a gunmetal Zac Posen strapless gown. I love the beaded detail put into the dress and Smith looks absolutely stunning.



The beautiful Meg Ryan kept it simple in an elegant Valentino gown from the Fall 2008 collection.

Eva Mendes is sexy in CK underwear

This news is a couple days old but I wanted to comment about Eva "It's pronounced Ava" Mendes as the new face of CK Seductive Underwear.

For the past few seasons, Natalia Vodianova (who seems to get thinner each time she has a child,) has been the face and the body of CK underwear. So this season the CK big-wigs thought they would appeal to those of us who are not rail thin by putting Mendes in their ads.

Tom Murry, the president and operating officer of Calvin Klein Inc., noted in a recent press release, "This is a departure from more slender body types that have been typically used in Calvin Klein Underwear ads.

"But this is not so much about a trend of being more curvaceous. This product is made for a curvaceous woman."

Ha! I find it comical that Mendes is considered "curvaceous." Maybe they mean that she has bigger boobs than the waifs they usually feature. The truth is, most of us do not like like Eva Mendes, but by God if buying CK underwear will give me abs, pert boobies and a sexy Latina pout, then I'm whipping out my credit card.

CK Underwear will make your boobs bigger! Just ask Natalia!

Straight off the runway: Dior Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2008/2009 Collection

Christian Dior supporters took their Sunday off to attend the Dior Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2008/2009 Collection which was held as part of Paris Haute Couture fashion week at the Rodin Museum in Paris, France, on Sunday.

Wow. Eva Mendes looks stunning in this orange and pink Christian Dior dress from he Fall 2008 collection. The colors look amazing on her skin and the dress fits her so much better than it does on the runway model.

Liv Tyler kept in simple in a elegant black dress which is a modification from Dior's 2008 Pre-Fall Collection. Tyler she accessorised with a black clutch and Givenchy boots. It would have been more interesting if she added some color to her outfit through her clutch and shoes.

I'm sorry Claudia Schiffer, you beautiful but the dress is making me yawn. I would have loved to the original version on her, it would have look much better.
