Did we already mention we’re fans of Patricia van der Vliet? Well if you missed our enthusiasm the first or second time around, here is the cool Dutch beauty on the pages of Love. The unforgiving lighting by lensman Alasdair McLellan sort of works, though there is a bit of Suzanne Somers beach bunny vibe.

As much as we love artistic fashion, a bit of commercial appeal can’t be discounted. The latest round of campaigns goes to curvy beauties Bar Refaeli, back in stripped down form for Rampage,  and a covered up Scarlett Johannson for Mango. ScarJo was a PR pro while chatting on the shoot, “I love working with MANGO. This is the third campaign I have done with them. The photographer, Mario Sorrenti, makes me feel very comfortable: the sessions are great fun. I see MANGO as a casual firm, with lots of combinations of garments, fresh and youthful.” The actress also took time out to chat on her projects. “Among my projects, I have a play on Broadway, “A View From the Bridge”. I am really happy, but I’m still doing rehearsals. I didn’t have time to get nervous. I don’t know what I’ll be doing in 10 years time, I cannot imagine, I suppose I’ll still be working in film and I hope I remain in good health,” Scarlett elaborated.  ”Although I’m an actress and a singer, I feel I am an actress above all, it’s my profession. My latest record, ‘Break up’, is a record by friends more than a professional one. I recorded it with Pete Yorn, who is a friend of mine. I love sharing it with people and I hope they like it.” Now that we’re fully updated, take a look at both campaigns here. Continue…

Those Alexander McQueen armadillo heels have met their match in a set of slithering, brilliantly hued snakes. Brazilian beauty Raquel Zimmerman poses with the stylish serpents for McQueen’s spring 2010 collection. (Well, considering the photog was Photoshop-happy Nick Knight, the snake-eyes effect might have been courtesy of some digital enhancement.) Aside from teetering on snake phobia, the colors are rather astounding and as for all those creepy crawlies? Just as eye-catching as McQueen’s fantastical heels. Continue…

Things are getting political. Fresh from landing a campaign with Fox fashion, Bar Refaeli is getting some political heat with folks from her homeland calling for a boycott of the Israeli model. Bar, who is from a ridiculously rich family in Israel, skipped out on the country’s compulsory military service when she married a family friend — married women don’t have to serve. Then the blonde infamously commented to Page Six, “Why is it good to die for one’s country? Isn’t it better to live in New York?” Classy. Now most recently, Bar Refaeli was reported crafting an offshore company to reduce the amount of taxes she pays to Israel. Continue…
