Hi Fans -

Catch Marisa tonight on E! News and E! Daily 10 at 7 & 7.30pm!

Let me guess, more Harley footage? Yeah, I shoulda known.

I think that military ad campaign and video is the best I've ever seen Marisa look! She really does look good. She should do more stuff like this. :wave:

Marisa Miller's Head Is Bigger Than Her Waist

Harley-Davidson's Veteran's Day ad campaign — currently plastered all over YouTube's homepage, among other properties — indulges in some very thorough Photoshopping of model Marisa ("Barbie Toe") Miller.

Miller, famous for her work for Victoria's Secret, apes classic cheesecake poses in the campaign. The ads — or, excuse me, the "Salute From the Home Front to Those Who Defend Freedom" — are slated to run all month. (In fact, in a neat bit of corporate-branded patriotism, Harley-Davidson has re-named November "Military Appreciation Month." Traditional festivities apparently include ogling half-naked models in uncomfortable poses.) But is it just us, or is there something a little bit off about the appearance Miller's waist in the picture of her in profile, on the far right of the YouTube homepage banner?

As a tipster put it, maybe Photoshop is supposed to be patriotic now? Perhaps we should be thankful the retoucher at least left her whole hip intact.

In still images from the campaign, Miller's waist looks to have been similarly whittled. In fact, her head looks as wide as her rib cage.

Which is funny, because in the attached campaign video, we see footage of Miller posing for what seems to be the very same picture — she is saluting, wearing the same shoes, hairstyle and cap, and a similar outfit. (Clothes can easily be changed in post-production programs like Photoshop; it wouldn't surprise me if the belted beige leotard Miller wears in the final version of the picture was drawn on.)

And, again in the video, the camera even zooms in for a second on that unretouched image on the monitor at the shoot. Funny, Miller really looks much better in these than she does in the over-processed end result.

Images like these, or Annie Leibovitz's photomontages, or the recent Ralph Lauren ads that have caused so much consternation, immediately jump out at the viewer because they ring false. We've seen bodies before: we all know nobody is built like that. The people responsible for the images know they're unreal. We know they're unreal. So why do marketers continue to assume we will buy products associated with pictures we fully recognize to be false? We imagine female members of the armed services would be among the many upon whom the charm of such a campaign is lost.

MARISA @ THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH CONAN O'BRIEN

TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 24TH, 2009

I'm tuning in but I am not capping it. I've had nothing but trouble with NBC for posting clips from the Tonight Show.

:laugh:

The Tonight Show? That's big. I don't think I've ever seen a model on it. :ddr:

:heart:

Actually, Marisa would only be the second big-name model to appear on the Conan version of the Tonight Show. Heidi appeared on the show back in late July when she was still preggers. I posted the clip on my YT page the next day and NBC blocked it.

Anyway, I wonder what Marisa will be talking about...Hmmm....? :morning:

:laugh:

:blink:

There has been many models on the Tonight Show :p

...I posted the clip on my YT page the next day and NBC blocked it.

Again, could you capture it for members to download? :) That way we all get to see it and you won't have to upload it onto YT ;)

^^Fine, I'll cap it. Hopefully, it won't be a short 5-minute interview. For corn's sake, Heidi got 10 minutes and all she was promoting was Project Runway!

There has been many models on the Tonight Show :p

Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but whenever the Angels are sent out doing these types of shows, it always seems like it's Kimmel, Late Night w/ Conan, Fergusson, Letterman for SI stuff, etc. - like every one but The Tonight Show.

That said, is this just Marisa and no other Angels?

^^Only two guests are scheduled: Jack McBrayer (the nerdy-lookin' dude from 30 Rock) and Marisa. No musical guests. If other Angels show up, it'll be a surprise.

^ Ah, okay. With the Gary Unmarried appearance too, VS is certainly letting Marisa get all the love. But Conan is great interviewing models (the napkin drinking game thing with Rebecca Romijn is classic) so hopefully no musical guest means extra long interviews, although I doubt that will happen. :laugh:
