Diversity Is Chic

IMAGINE the bestest, greatest, amazinest, editorial you've ever seen in your long legged life. Gemma Ward and her equally beautiful evil twin Sasha Pivovarvora. Wouldn't THAT be total hotness? Well sorry to burst your little hearts, but it isn't happening, although if I were the editor of Vogue, it would be. Then again... if I were the editor of Vogue, I wouldn't wear fur, but that's another story, and my add is about to kick in right now, so I won't go off on that tangent and start pointing fingers at Anna Wintour certain people who continue to rock fur. The horror!

But back to the news at hand... Gemma Ward will grace the cover of Vogue India's first issue this September. Congrats Gemma. I heart you.

Now... excuse me for playing devils advocate, but Gemma Ward for the very first cover? of Vogue INDIA?!? why not a model of color? An Indian model? Surely there are many? Some? One?

It is Vogue INDIA after all. Bollywood actress and former Miss. World Aishwarya Rai would have been great for the cover. Aishwarya is a major (HUGE) star in India, and has often been called one of the most beautiful women in the world who has even had a world wide Loreal Campaign.



Gemma Ward does bring a lot to the table, and is talented indeed (I heart her, remember?) but why not offer this prestige to a model who is actually of Indian descent?

What is going on here? when did diversity become passe? What do you darlings think? Anyone from India want to throw their two cents?

Also, how do you say Please Don't Feed The Models in Hindi?


Nicholas Coleridg, do you read my blog?

It's A Walk Off

Is it a tad bit cliche that Gemma Ward rocks my world? I also happen to love Sasha Pivovarvora. But whose the better model? Which model SCREAMS Lux,Sex and Rock and Roll? Which one rocks couture with more of the "it" factor.

Lets face these two off in my first "Walk Off". The battle of the look-a-likes! I'm beginning to think that the two are really one... Hangers never looked so sweet.

Location: Ringside at the Valentino Catwalk February 28, 2007, Paris.

And the final Round...

Round 3.

Sasha

Of course the collection was beyond stellar, and the show was casted beautifully. Stam, Snejana, Lily Donaldson, and Flavia among others graced the catwalk...but Gemma and Sasha stole the show.

So darlings tell me, who was your favorite? Gemma or Sasha?

Naomi's coming to a screen near you...


Vogue UK is reporting that the trashionista will make a guest appearance on Ugly Betty play herself:

"I'll play a loony who loves to shop and can't find a man," she told CONTACTMUSIC.COM. "I like that sort of role." Naomi, who pleaded guilty to assaulting her housekeeper in a Manhattan court earlier this week, has undergone various anger management courses and said recently that she feels she is a target for people wanting to damage her reputation, will make her debut as a loon on the show later this year. Ugly Betty won two Golden Globes on Monday: Best Television Series and Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series for lead actress America Ferrera.

Naomi playing a loony won't be too far from the truth. She really needs to retire and let the new "it" girls reign. I'd rather see Irina Lazareanu, Gemma Ward or Chanel Iman or even Janice Dickinson on the show.

Top Model

Oh how I love Gemma!

IMG's Princess, Gemma Ward is currently standing strong as the top model on Models.com.

Her new Louis Vuitton campaign is on fire!

Scarlett wasn't a great choice for the campaign, and she just doesn't scream luxury to me. Gemma steps it up, bringing the illusion and "aspirational" beauty to the brand, the way a real model is supposed to. As far as I'm concerned, actors can (with a few minor exceptions) stay in Hollywood, and let the real models do what they do best.
