From the VS/NFL collection:

Seemingly from the same time, but these shots are by Ben Watts...

Thank you for the new VS, cecileett - interesting candids too... This is a little amuse-bouche, from photographer Matt Jones:

^No - YOU'RE "gold"... I don't know, you go away for a few weeks and there's still no PiP subforum and Joe's 'grandstanding' yet again...

MIRANDA KERR AND ORLANDO BLOOM MARRY: FIRST PICTURE Kerr and Bloom marry in LA yesterday, service conducted by Jerry Garcia - or maybe Santa... (Details probably to follow)

^Hey missy! It's a reprint of a Matt Jones editorial for another Elle (Italia), from June. However, the quality might be better, and text is different so it doesn't ruin the shots maybe quite so much!

New J.Crew (Aug) catalogue:

^ Wait - I think she'll be in the third-wave of releases. VS are just naturally cautious after the thousands of unsold Tickle-Me Kylie Bisutti dolls ended up as landfill or in one of those attempts to plug the oil-spill...

Interview magazine, August '10 - photography by Mikael Jansson: (Found@ Fashion Copious)

Another dress, another bath... <Ulp - and there's this chancer again too!

^I'm pretty sure it is too - I found a better version of it at their site (unfortunately no others though). Nice find v! (Y)

Behati as photographer - these are from Coco Rocha's blog, where there's this interview too: Oh So Behati A few months back my good friend Behati offered to take some pictures of James and I in our engagement bliss. Many of you will know Behati for her work in front of the camera as one of the worlds most beloved models, but unbeknown to many she has also been developing her skills behind the camera too! Here's a little conversation we had recently about her new found skills. And whatever you do, don't call her a model-slash anything! Coco: So Behati, you're well known as a model and now even as a designer with the pieces you've created for Victoria's Secret. How long have you had this secret life as a photographer?! Behati: Haha my secret life has been blossoming for more than a year now! I only shoot film, mostly black and white, and I use a Nikon F10 and also the Contax G2 Jamie got me for my birthday! Coco: Why do you choose to use old school film and developing? You know the rest of the world went digital 10 years ago, right? Behati: Yeah, I know, but film cameras just came out in Africa! I try to keep up with my country Coco, we're 10 years behind!! No in all seriousness, I love film. Helmut Newton's pictures are amazing and that's what I want! I think digital in some ways took away a photographers freeness. Not knowing what you have and seeing the pictures when you develop them is really nice. Every one comes out different and I love the feel of film, the way it looks. Coco: It's sort of a dying art, do you find yourself asking older photographers on set a lot of extra questions? Behati: Yeah all the time, and they love helping me because most of them used to shoot film and now do digital because its cheaper. As soon as they see my old school camera they grab it! I've learned a lot on shoots from everyone - Matt Jones said I should come assist him just to learn how to do light reading and stuff... or, maybe I forced him in to that haha! Coco: Haha! Either way that would be fun! Do you remember the first picture's you ever took? Behati: Yeah they were in Tompkins Square Park in New York. My first roll of film was of Jamie and Boyd and an eagle eating a squirrel!? haha, epic. Most of that film came out too dark and you can barley see there faces, but it was fun! Coco: Eating a squirrel!? Sounds terrifying! Makes me wonder what the last set of pictures you took was? Behati: The last picture's I took were of you at you're wedding! They all came out perfect, I could not be happier! Coco: James and I loved them too! They feel so classic and timeless. So, other than brides and dead squirrels, what are your favorite subjects to photograph and why? Behati: Mostly people. I take random portraits of people I meet on the street and of my friends just being silly! I love very simple black and white shots that are very raw - no make up, hair or fashion - just the person and what's happening in that moment! I think thats very real and beautiful! Coco: I loved our photo shoot together for that reason. There was no hair and makeup fussing, no stylist and directors giving conflicting orders. Just you me and James. Behati: I loved shooting you guys. As your friend it's amazing to see you with James and so happy. To be the first one to shoot you both so was very special, that whole day was memorable and a lot of fun!! I remember buying a scooter right after we shot it and all of us riding from 86th street all the way to my house on 11th street. I was exhausted! Haha. I'll always remember you and James in the park, being so in love! Coco: Yes, hours upon hours of public displays of affection in central park! Haha. James wants to know if you think he has what it takes to take his modeling to the next level... Behati: Oh for sure, he was super duper amazing. He took direction very well, from both of us haha! He'll be the next big thing! Coco: He'll be happy to hear that. So is there someone other than the Conran's that you'd love to photograph but haven't had the chance to? Behati: I once saw Keith Richards in a hotel having dinner. I so badly wanted to go up to him and take a portrait but I just couldn't get myself to go over there and disturb him! Id also love to take a portrait of Tilda Swinton. It would be amazing to travel with a band or skater kids and document a whole year of their lives in old school rock and roll black and white grainy pictures! Coco: You should kill two birds with one stone and just follow Keith and The Stones around for a year! I'm sure they wouldn't mind the company... Behati: Not a bad idea haha! Coco: Speaking of which, we noticed you lugging a LOT of equipment around for our shoot, all by your little self. When are you going to get yourself an assistant? Behati: Haha yeah that was very heavy, I think its time! Thanks to James for helping me carry everything around - while he was on his scooter - with you on the back of it as well! If you know of any potential assistants shoot me an email haha Coco: I'm guessing a couple of our readers would love to take that position! We will send contact information your way! Any inspirational last words you'd like to leave Oh So Coco readers with? Behati: Love will save the world! xoxo Coco: I agree! Thank you for the wonderful day Behati, I think you're wonderful and can't wait to see what you have in store for us all next. If you'd like to see more of the pictures we took that day, I've posted 50 of them on my Official Facebook page. Feel free to check them out and leave Behati a comment! XOXO COCO (Source: ohsococo.blogspot.com) And here are the relevant photos (photography, obviously, by Behati Prinsloo):

^Ah, just something I found whilst traversing the internet - I'm like a magpie for fancy emoticons... I save that black cloud for Jamie talk!!!

^Ja Ja, indeed! Talking of which though - there he is again (^)... (But thank you, cecileet - they haven't been posted before! Encantado )

^It has crossed my mind! But, you know, there's that Jamie character lurking about... <_< What do you reckon? Maybe the rebound?!?!

^ How was dinner then?!!I'm always concerned though, about turning any thread into one's own little fiefdom - if you know what I mean? I've seen how certain members act on their own favourite model's threads, and it is most disagreeable (and has led me to abandon posting in some of them). So I wouldn't want to think anybody presumed I was lording it around in here...

^RIGHTEOUS! You know, Ale's outfit is good. But in that whole opening segment it was probably the most literal and obvious. That's not to say she didn't look good, I think she's rarely looked better (though that's not the point, is it?), just that really it was a little high-street (or mall) tack. Other than Karolina's weird yellow thing, it was the weakest of "Santa's Helpers". I've always championed Yfke's 'Southern Belle' look throughout all the rounds - it's both cute and sexy, it's got an umbrella, and a hat at a jaunty angle... Although, like Pretty rightly said, it's actually not super memorable! Weird. Yet here we are, and it's come down to this... Maybe everything else was just too divisive? Maybe they made opinions too polarised? I thought Selita dressed as a Christmas tree was just absolutely fucking stupid. And that Stam-Bell??? But somebody else (possibly) loved it? God knows none of my favourites never made it very far - barring 'Sex-Bot' Morgane, but that didn't fool anybody for too long. <_< Anyway, I just wanted to say something before this part of the competition ended. And to tip my hat to the wonderful Prettyphile. I'm not a massive fan of polls, because I know my tastes and BZ aren't exactly simpatico in regards to most things - and that, no matter what the outcome of any of these competitions are, I know the correct answer is a). Behati!!! Yfke - (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)

^My friend, they (and many more) are all posted on the previous page!!! Actually, the 'lounge' ones are slightly older, but are very recent.As for the RUSSH editorial, that's from about 18 months ago. It was posted waaay back then... I think!

NEW FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET: THE MIRANDA KERR LOVE-DOLL Tired of constant jibes that your "Angel" looks like a little girl - and therefore your liking of her is tantamount to liking children? Sick of every Miranda promotion/appearance being followed by loads of posts about child-pornography?? Tired of being called a creepy 'paedo'??? Well, cock-a-snook and flip those interfering do-gooders the bird with the ALL-NEW (in no way creepy and doesn't look anything like a little girl) MIRANDA KERR LOVE-DOLL!!! What are people's minds like, eh? Thinking that you liking little Manda-Panda is a bit dodgy... <_< Screw them! And if you're not Orlando (in no way a nonce) Bloom, then this doll is the doll for you. Go online now to choose how you want to dress the cutie-pie. It's not weird at all. And choose from all the very respectable and healthy, and in no way suspect, costumes for your Love-Doll to wear: There's the 'school-girl' outfit, the 'school-girl-nurse' outfit, the 'school-girl-stripper' outfit, and the 'school-girl-french-maid' outfit. I'm sure you'll agree that's something for everyone..? Accessorise her with ribbons for her pig-tails, some glittery make-up, or maybe a lollipop - the choices are endless! And then she's all yours. No need to worry about Bloom, Australian financial managers looking over your shoulder, or those Bellazon snobs who think your favourites are not as good as theirs - and therefore slightly odd. What do they know?!! Idiots... Enjoy!!! (Coming soon: Erin Heatherton and Behati Prinsloo models)

1 - It's OK. That chair print is rather ugly mind you...

^Nice... You nearly doubled the post-count at your first sitting! Welcome, gos.

^Well, whatever it f*ing means, she looks f*ing great...
