the greatest show on earth

Vogue Italia April 2007
Model: Karen Elson
Photographer: Steven Meisel

I really enjoy circus themes, even though they are done frequently. Meisel has outdone himself with this set. One of my favorites being the one with Karen in the ape suit. I love how under the suit she's wearing a gorgeous avant garde number. I also enjoy the range of facial expressions seen on everyone in these phots.

eva mendes for vogue italia

Vogue Italia May 2008

Model: Eva Mendes
Photographer: Steven Meisel
Stylist: Andrew Richardson

I am by no means a fan of Eva Mendes, but I did like her spread in the May issue of Vogue Italia. It was shot by Meisel and features Eva in a few compromising positions. I like the throwback pin up style. Some of the pictures border bad taste and the licking makes me gag. There is also a picture of her foot in her mouth that just rubs me the wrong way. Although, I imagine if someone other than Ms. Mendes were doing these poses it wouldn't be as bad. I don't know why I don't like her. I guess I'm more indifferent about her. I guess she's OK. No, she's a terrible actress.
