From the new DKNY Jeans campaign (don't know who the other model is):

Some Good Ol' Rock'n'Roll debauchery: (with Iggy Pop)

Ahhh, Red, and whyellebee - MANY THANKS for supporting this fledgling thread!

^ Oh, azgirl - you prude!!! But this SELF-LOVE - so to speak - is nothing new. It's all very Narcissus, no? All is vanity... It's just a 21st century, computer-savvy method of, well, investigation... Photo-shopping is often the BANE of the truly bizarre - but those photos are certainly intriguing, so here's another: This whole theme reminded me of this UNFORTUNATE story: (source: The Sun newspaper, January 12th 2008) WHOAH!!! That would truly screw you up. I remember reading that Bianca Jagger said that Mick had only married her because she "looked like him", and as those psychologists above say - we are attracted to our own traits... But that is taking it to the Nth degree! All said though, I'm not sure about these guys:

And here's the video I was on about, should you be interested:

ALLIE CRANDELL So, there I was - out on a Friday night in this downtown Buenos Aires bar - when I looked up at the bank of television screens and saw this Duran Duran video was on... The sound was off, as the DJ was playing, but I was quite engrossed by the story (some 'rehab' centre full of model types, very typical Duran Duran fare). Anyway, I was mostly taken with the 'central' character - much to the chagrin of my date. I was a little obvious. But I couldn't help it. She was lovely... I made a note to find out who this lady was - and turned my attention back to what I was there for. (Oops!) But she's gone now. So I can log onto Bellazon and tell you about the model. Actually, there's not much: Name: Allie Crandell Agency: Wilhelmina Models Age: 20 Height: 5'8" Birthplace: Sacramento, USA And, apparently, she goes out with Adam Senn - I don't know much about him, but I'm pre-disposed to hate him now!!!

'Smart arse' fashion photography, I like it:

Twisted, my friend...

She looks rather like Leona Lewis, the singer - but I'm not certain. She has a thread here, should the picture need another home!

And again:

Of these I can offer no information - sometimes one stumbles across such images. I just hope they are new to some of you, and that you like them:

And, azgirl, STARCHY PETE aint doing so well these days: That'll learn him to 'push' those carbs...

These are variations on a theme that simply the best posted a dozen or so pages ago. But there are MORE and they don't have writing on them. That's got to be worth something hasn't it? Hope you like...

The Holy Southern Trinity: Elvis, Jesus, Robert. E. Lee... Is this how it plays out in Georgia, penny?

But then someone else had a VERY FAMOUS Comeback Special too... It works both ways!!!

I wanted to post a little on Elvis as a religious icon... His massive fame and premature death has raised him to a level that few non-religious icons have achieved. Indeed, as a simply iconic figure - a symbol across all media - he's only really challenged by Jesus himself. You may have (my own countryman) Che Guevara, Hello Kitty(!), Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, etc. But Elvis towers over them all. To such an extent that some people get a, uh, a little...mixed up: I like the fact that in Hawaii he's still hailed as a 'Son of the Islands' after his many visits and professed love of the State. This is a sweet little religious votive for those in times of beach/ocean type troubles:
