Bloody Butchers, Bad Dogs and Model Prisoners

Fresh Meat: These gory Eva Herzigova shots by Mario Testino have us hot, hungry and a little bit scared. [The Photography Link]

Curb Your Dog: Some horrid pooch went and peed on our beloved Natalie Portman while she was traipsing about the part with Freak-Folk boytoy Devendra Banhart. Gentlemen that we are, we already have a contract out on the hairy mutt (and the dog as well). [NYPost]

Drawers Raise a Stink: The latest banned ads in Europe aren’t by Tom Ford, but rather the product of Hanes’ anti-racism, anti-subtleness marketing department. [DNR]

Car-Port Chic: Ksubi, Maison Martin Margiela and Adam Kimmel create couture car covers for Intersection Magazine. [Intersection]

Designs from the Pokey: Germans are buying up prisoner-made clothes. The prisoners, predictably, not so much. [CNN]

Street Talk: Izzy points us in the direction of Times fashion photog Bill Cunningham’s new audio slideshow. [Manolo for the Men]

Goddess

Kemptress: Eva Herzigova

2_herzigova3_crop.jpg

We’re glad to see that one of our favorite women of all time, gorgeous Czech model Eva Herzigova is still getting work at the ripe old age of 35.

Last year when Louis Vuitton signed her up for their supermodel extravaganza, we figured it was a one-off for a favored LV face of years past; however the brand just brought her back for its new ad campaign, shot by Mert and Marcus at the Unisphere in Queens. Unfortunately in a few of the shots they’ve decked her out in some rather hideous garments reminiscent of those lamentable Bond girl outfits from the ’80s - think Barbara Carrrera as Fatima Blush in Never Say Never Again.

We of course prefer our Eva unclothed, or nearly so, hence the above shot.

Blithe Spirits

Live for Eva

We say one can never get enough of Czech supermodel and card-carrying Kemptress Eva Herzigova, so we welcome the latest installment in Karl Lagerfeld’s episodic ad campaign for Dom Pérignon’s 1996 Rosé Vintage champagne.

Especially as it requires Eva to lounge around in a luxury hotel room in her lingerie, getting soused on pink bubbly. In the Kaiser’s scenario, she check’s into the hotel and finds a handsome fellow rooming down the hall who apparently shares her obsession with Dom. A few establishing shots later, they’re getting it on but manage to never spill a drop. Trust us, that isn’t how it happened in real life.

Good Idea

Tee Ball

The charitable fashion stunt is a well-worn trick, but we still like to watch it play out from time to time. Our current interest is LENY, a limited-edition tee series to benefit (or is it combat?) global warming.

The tees are currently making the rounds, but we’re more impressed by the lineup, which includes Kate Moss, Lapo Elkann, Waris Ahluwalia, and best of all, the lovely Eva Herzigova, at left. It’s enough to make any man green with envy.
