Madonna's Boyfriend Models One Look From Every Angle

Jenna — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:00:00 EDT

Jesus Luz nabbed the next campaign for the Argentine label Ona Saez, which counts soccer legend Diego Maradona among its past spokesmodels. The apparent theme for the shoot? All about Jesus. It's the punniest thing you'll see all week!

Jesus Te Ama. Geddit? Question: given the popularity of the name Jesus in many parts of Latin and South America, wouldn't its joke potential be pretty worn out by now? Apparently somebody expects these double-entendres to still sell tee shirts.

And in case you thought that was a fluke, have another pun! That's a cross necklace right there. I wonder why they just didn't paint on a bleeding sacred heart?

Jesus is an even less convincing shadow boxer than Amber Rose.

There's something creepy and objectifying about the topless blonde model whose face is nearly obscured by her hair in the one shot, and only used for parts in the other. Also, those pants are the least flattering garment to wrap around the lower half of a natural born female since the summer everyone was wearing those awful stretchy jersey culottes.

Pun! And in case you forgot why that mug is supposed to be funny, Jesus tattooed his name there just for you. I wonder which people regret more: tattooing their own names on themselves, or tattooing someone else's?

Vogue's "Model.Live": Don't Get Famous, And Other Gems Of Parental Wisdom

TatianaTheAnonymousModel — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:00:00 EDT

The second episode of "Model.Live", Vogue's nifty Internet realidocumodelshow, is up. This week, Cato — who seems to think that college entails more partying than modeling — sets off from the Netherlands for New York, leaving behind a concerned but supportive mother who doesn't want her to get famous and a mystified but supportive father. (Dad: "Modeling is certainly a nice effort, but you know I'm an engineer, so I know the external side oxidizes. You always have to work on the inside.") Also joining the farewells is Simon, who seems like every utterly reliable, reasonably good-looking, overall sweet-natured and totally stultifying high school boyfriend, ever. Simon has the resigned hangdog look of a dude who knows he has lucked into a relationship with an amazing girl who's out of his league, and that whatever day she comes to share this knowledge is the day he'll be out of the picture. Check out Cato's mortified expression when Simon explains that, even though he hears fashion is all about sex and drugs and stuff, he trusts Cato because he knows she would never do any of that.

Sound quality isn't the best in this video. Also: I made an error in my last post about "Model.Live." I was confused, and wrote that the series documented the Fall/Winter 08/09 show season, ie the season that happened back in Spring. Incorrect! The show unfurls in medias res, covering the show season that kicks off in New York on September 5th. Sorry for my mistake.

Meet The Lucky Guy Who Gets Paid To Massage Gisele Bundchen's Ass

Molly Friedman — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 13:35:00 EDT

As Tyra Banks loves to remind us, modeling is hard, okay? Sometimes you have to sit in chairs for really long amounts of time while people make you look pretty, and sometimes you even have to get out of those chairs to stand up and move your arms and stuff. But after seeing these pictures of Gisele Bundchen getting her ass squeezed by a fluffer while shooting a fashion spread, it turns out we didn't know the half of it. Apparently, sometimes, models even have to endure butt massages while they work! A closer look at Bundchen's behind, and the men assigned to perfect it, after the jump.

Can't you just hear the photographer's shouting instructions after seeing these shots? "That ass must be shinier! Tanner! Perkier! I want it leaner and meaner! Faster, Ass Man, we don't have all day!" And then Gisele's reaction: "But Meester Photograffer, Tommy say my ass eez pretty just way it is, no?" And finally, Ass man's barely-audible mutterings: "Remember this day forever. Take a mental photograph to be used each and every time you have sex with your wife. Do not try and bite it, whatever you do, do not take a bite out of that ass."

Meet The Pretty Human Cattle Of 'Project Runway 4'

Seth — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:52:21 EST

In honor of Project Runway's return tonight (and just in the nick of time, as the prospect of nothing but new episodes of The Rachael Ray Show made us want to plunge the closest shish-kabob skewer into the spongy centers of our brains), we thought we'd salute the competition's unsung heroes: The models, blank canvases called upon week after week to strut down the titular thoroughfare looking far sexier and more confident than anyone forced by a mentally unstable designer to wear a chain-basket hat has any right to be. And with a nod to our previous Runway guessing game , we'll throw out another puzzler: Which of these models loves the New York Mets, is addicted to chick flicks, and simply abhors tardiness? The answer is here.
