Quelle Surprise!

The supplementary Vogue Paris calendar for 2009 (arrives annually with the December/January issue) is an homage to old fashioned pinup girls, with a naughty, modern twist. Fourteen different girls are featured, photographed by Terry Richardson and styled by Carine Roitfeld in Louis Vuitton lingerie and shoes.

Very different to the 2008 calendar. I like them both, personally. I don't have a preference either way.
What do you think? Love it or leave it?
Oh and I apologise profusely for not only the lack of posts but for not replying to any comments. It's nothing personal, trust me -- I love all your comments (as all bloggers do), but a lot of the time I simply don't have the time to reply. I'm just trying to make sure that no one gets their feelings hurt, as that is the last thing I would want for my gorgeous readers.

Catch.

Unexpected indeed...

Eccentric Helena Bonham Carter and her equally (if not, more) eccentric husband Tim Burton make a surprise appearance in Vogue UK's December issue. I absolutely adore these two. They're so quirky, breaking all the Hollywood societal rules (even the ones we didn't know about).

If there was a prize for Hollywood originality, these two would be shoe-ins.
What do you think? Helena and Tim, love 'em or leave 'em?
Oh and please don't forget to cast you vote(s) in this month's opinion poll on the right hand side of the page.

Catch.
