And PINK again, "summer sweats" this time:

IT'S THE 1ST ANNUAL (totally spurious) WHAT IS SEXY? LIST! We got the eggheads at NASA, Victoria Beckham, Kanye West, that big fella who wears the throws and kaftan-type shit who works at US Vogue doing something (Andre something?), and a poll of A MILLION ILL-INFORMED AND KNEE-JERK REACTIONARY PEOPLE to decide what were the most sexy things - so there could be NO arguments. Who's gonna argue with that as a panel? So, who made it? Who didn't? Why are these categories so incredibly arbitrary? Without further ado: WHAT IS SEXY? 2011 SEXIEST MURDER WEAPON IN CLUEDO: "Eeeeees verrry sexxxxy deeed ledddd piiiiiiping. I tink is verrry sexxxxxy. Eeeess sexy, no? Ledddd piiiiiping. I teeenk." SEXIEST FRUIT: "Yooo tink we gonna say ashparaaaaagusssss, or oyyyyyyshtersh, cos dey saaay deees eeees sexxxxxxy. But pineapple mucccccch sexxxxxxier." SEXIEST SIMPSONS CHARACTER: "Oooooh, Groundskeeper Willie. He soooooo sexxxxxxy. With heeees muskles, and heeees beeeeerd. All man!" SEXIEST WORD: "What eees theees, "fucknutty"? Eeees a biscuit???" SEXIEST BELLAZONIAN: "Eeees Sweet Lu. Ayayayayay... Heeees mucccch sexier than the Jimmy Changa. Ale, she say Jimmy Changa - I say Jimmy Changa look and smell like sheeet." SEXIEST THING ON A McDONALD'S MENU: "Feeelet-O-Feeesh. I love to say eeeet. And I no like deee meeeeet. Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh." SEXIEST JACKSON: "Eeees Teeeeeto. He play geeeeeetarrrrr. And he got a beeeg afro."

+ New VS (with some thanks to phenobarbie):

^Thankfully this full version kind of redresses the balance - there was way too much of that guy in those other Diesel videos! Back 'playing' baseball for PINK:

Back playing ball with PINK:

Didn't vote myself! Natasha Poly [8], Magdalena Frackowiak [6]

Choke here:

^Yeah, you can blink - but we know what's coming and you'd probably be best to keep them eyes tightly shut, else them blinkers will pop put if your not careful with this BIG BIG BIG news! Main thing is we know something that you don't - and when you do know it, well, then we can say: "We already knew that". But for some reason we're going to tell you we know something that we can't (or just plain won't) tell you about now, so that we can let you know that we're higher up the VS insiders food-chain than you are in a new patronising way. But we do know it - and it's MASSIVE... Unless it's not. Then we'll just never come back to it. And if you criticise this (somehow) unBIG news and it's INCREDIBLE model then you'll just be HATERS, obviously.

Michael*, et al - do you know anything of Colourmusic? Just heard this song Yes! today and rather liked it. Album has just come out, it's their second, but first to be released internationally. Review cites MGMT and Flaming Lips - but who cares what they say, I'm coming to you...

^ Your cover's finally up on the i-D site now too (in slightly better quality):

OK - Natasha [10], Doutzen [9]...

^ Seems like aaages waiting for that cover to be 'revealed' on the i-D site. The 6 different covers are coming out piecemeal there, 4 out but still not hers yet - what are the chances? (Well, 33.3% recurring, obviously!) Anyway: hells bells yes for what's inside! (Source: Trish South Management)

Someone everybody loves will soon be the face of a very BIG campaign for VS. It's SO BIG that WE'LL HAVE TO SHUT DOWN THE MOON FOR THE NIGHT to better regard it's MASSIVE awesomeness. We'll release further details *maybe* - but we don't believe your tiny, feeble (and if you disagree with it's brilliance, hating) minds can even begin to comprehend it as yet. Yeah, bet you wish you knew what it was don't you? But you can't. Cos that's the way this thread rolls. Siemgi knows, and that's cool as we can hint about things to each other in a smug way that is at once condescending to you and yet marks us out as rather special members. Oh, don't worry we'll shove it in your face as FACT when we decide to, and if it doesn't quite pan out that great then we'll simply pretend none of this ever happened, and won't be held to account for these insidious overblown announcements...

+ Ann Taylor LOFT has moved into summer: More to come, I'm sure...

^Jaja!

^Glad to finally see these, thank you... I'd seen the second one as an in-store ad in some online LOFT photos and was wondering if it would 'come out', so to speak:Hope this means a summer campaign too.

^No matter, I just wondered what the source was as they looked like (as, I guess, they literally are!) somebody's own wedding snaps...
