Curvier Models on the Rise: Eva Mendez for Steven Meisel


Eva Mendes is following her banned ads for the Calvin Klein Secret Obsession scent with delicious new ads to launch the Seductive Comfort line by Calvin Klein Underwear.


“This is a departure from more slender body types that have typically been used in Calvin Klein Underwear ads,” said CK Inc. president, Tom Murry. “But this is not so much about a trend of being more curvaceous. This [bra] product is made for a curvaceous woman.”


“I wear [Calvin Klein] G-strings all of the time on the red carpet and when shooting for a film because you don’t see the [panty] lines,” the actress said.

The Seductive Comfort campaign is photographed by Steven Meisel.

Palm Springs Stories



Last year I was in
Palm Springs shooting an editorial for Passport Magazine.

I had never been there before, all I knew about it was that it was not too far from LA but on a different planet. They were right. Time stands still over there, it was a bit bizarre at first but as soon as all my crew arrived there, things changed drastically.


The three models were cute and funny, my assistant, the make up guy and the stylist never ended teasing each other, we all became a family in a matter of hours.

We spent 3 days shooting from sunrise to sunset, splashing water on each other, visiting amazing villas (original from the 50s), shooting crazy videos that someday we will find on youtube and ending our 'family' trip with great images for my client.

If you are intrigued enough by my story, you can take a peek at the images -----> VIEW PHOTOS

Madonna's new SEX BOOK (19 years later)



I hear people say she looks fantastic in these photos. I think she looks like a 50 yo rich bitch who just bought her new pet, this hot 20-something yo boy. These photos are hot because model Jesus is HOOOT!

Madonna looks like
Monica Vitti (please google this), obvious inspiration. The bleached blond wig reminds me of Betty Whites's hair in the Golden Girls and honestly the concept is old. Madonna, are you out of ideas?

Hollywood Portraits by Annie Leibovitz



I love how simple Annie keeps it in these Hollywood portraits. Not much photoshop, except in the Heath Ledger photo where she 'glued in' Christopher Nolan (Ledger's photo was taken a long time before).

The light, the poses, the set is very simple, I absolutely love that. Meryl Streep's face looks like her age, admirable. No plastic for Miss Liebovitz, thank you Annie.









ANNIE LIEBOVITZ

(born October 2, 1949) is an American portrait photographer whose style is marked by a close collaboration between the photographer and the subject.

If you remember this ...



If you remember any of these images, or 'Confessions and Lies' sounds kind of familiar to you, ... well, you probably were a fan of this Blog and you know what you are getting into.

Confessions and Lies is back, his visions and opinion stronger than in the past. Witness the journey of my life and career as I make my way through the crowd of this jungle called Manhattan.
