Photograher Hayden Wood spent a lot of time as a retoucher and graphic artist, which is probably why his photos of models posed as Barbie and Ken are so eerie. His series, Living Dolls, transforms real people into plastic dolls, sans expression, emotion or proper proportions. [Flavorwire]
This is Claudia Schiffer. At the age of 41, she’s reprising her famous role as Guess model and Hot Chick About Town. It’s not fair that Ms. Schiffer gets to look so good, is it? So we’re going to start a rumor that she siphons out her own blood and replaces it with the blood of children. So yes, that’s how that works.
Dree Hemingway is a full-time babe. She’s the great granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, and was the model featured in the ads for Justin Bieber’s Someday perfume. So yeah, hardcore babe. So what’s up with this total mom dress she’s wearing to the SXSW afterparty for her new film “Starlet”? What do you think? Tell us in the comments.
I won’t even pretend to know what’s going on in this Adeen photoshoot starring gender-bending model Andrej Pejic and, uh, two other guys. On Adeen’s website they say Andrej’s hat is an ode to RuPaul who always says on his show that one must have “Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent.” Hmm, I don’t think that’s what most people are going to think when they see that word.

Now this is dedication: an anonymous man got a tattoo of gender-bending supermodel Andrej Pejic on his arm. The tattoo was discovered by fashion blog Fashin, which makes us think that the wearer must know that Andrej is a biological he. But … perhaps not. What do you think of the angelic Andrej?

Photography team Inez and Vindoodh (pictured) have worked with virtually all of the top names in the fashion biz — Kate Moss, Christy Turlington and Gisele Bundchen, to name a few — but one thing they absolutely won’t do? Shoot underage girls. The talented pair, who have a new book out called Pretty Much Everything, spanning their 26-year career (it’s $700, and we want it), say that not shooting young girls was a conscious statement toward the fashion industry. “They start at 14 and everyone says to them, ‘Wow, you’re incredible. You’re so skinny. You look like a boy.’ And once that girl is 18 and her body is finished growing, all of a sudden it was like, ‘Oh, she’s fat,’” explains Inez. “The poor girl. She’s just growing. We felt it was unethical to support that. You get judged anyway and it’s not easy. You have to really know who you are first. And at such a tender age—between 14 and 18—you’re figuring out who you are.” Well, at least somebody in the fashion industry gets it. [Style]
“In this [modeling] world, I found, many people were hungry too, but for different reasons. They wanted their bodies to look a certain way, whether their bodies were meant to or not. They chose not to eat. Today, I live in the U.S., where restaurants serve huge portions on even huger platters, and people are tempted to eat too much … I always ask for a doggie bag, to bring the leftovers home. My ex-boyfriend suggested more than once that I cut this out, as he found it embarrassing. (Perhaps that’s why he is no longer my boyfriend.)”

Me: Whatcha got there?
Model: Where?
Me: In your hands.
Model: Nothing.
Me: No, it’s obvious you’re hiding something.
The world keeps trying to make Brit model/It-Girl Alexa Chung happen stateside. Chung previously hosted MTV’s midday chat show, “It’s On With Alexa Chung,” and will soon be seen in the new PBS series “Thrift America,” where she travels around the U.S. looking for hidden thrift and vintage treasures (the fact that this is a job that someone can have makes me unbelievably jealous).
