Saturday 15th March
Hip hip hooray, it’s Saturday!! Yipeeeeee. I have NO WORK to do! - no castings, shoots or fittings! - It’s 8:45am….I think i’ll lounge around in my pajamas until about 11am, then I need to go out and get a few last bits for the surprise birthday party I’ve organised for my boyfriend tonight. He’s turning 26 tomorrow! Happy Birthday Deedee! mwah.x(hopefully he won’t read this before the party…
Anyway, I’m not going to write about what I’m up to today, as I doubt you’ll be particularly interested in me watching ‘my super sweet sixteen’ and buying balloons..
I thought I’d write about an issue that has been bothering me a little… It’s the issue of celebrities replacing the models.
It’s becoming more and more apparent that the beautiful actresses, singers and even lame reality show stars of today, are slowly replacing models in magazines, on bill boards and on product packaging.
Louis Vuitton has opted to use Scarlet Johanssen for some of their lastest ad campaigns… I mean, you can see why…she’s undeniably beautiful but something seems a little unfair about it. She’s an actress. A successful one. Her job is to get picked for the blockbuster films and wow the audiences with her presence on screen. Meanwhile, it’s the models’ job to get picked for the big designer campaigns like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Balenciaga etc. But it seems more and more frequent that the model doesn’t even get that opportunity anymore - even though it’s his/her job and he/she devotes her/his life to being the best at it!
Versace chose Christina Aguilera….
Louis Vuitton chose Scarlet Johanssen
…and Armani chose David Beckham…
Will it just keep getting worse? - will models eventually only be needed for catalogue work? Dear god, say it isn’t so!!!
