Why are companies still using Kate Moss as a model?? WTF

I don't know if we have a shortage of soulless doe-eyed anorexic models or what, but can someone PLEASE explain to me why I still see Kate Moss in fashion mags??? Has anyone seen her lately? She has a meth face only Amy Winehouse could find beautiful! She's so heavily photoshopped, any half as doped up 20 year old would do a better job as being a credible example of "beauty".

I love W magazine but I cannot, absolutely, cannot comprehend why she's not retired with the likes of Crawford, Schiffer and Seymour.

KATE! Take your bills, roll em up tight and go snort yourself into oblivion please. Let other money hungry models take the jobs and be a real example of youthful, doe-eyed beauty.

Lancôme new viral marketing campaign - Count down

I received two emails so far, day 5 and day 4 from Lancome, counting down to a beauty event.

If I judged it by the URL path, I'm willing to bet this campaign is to launch the new perfume, Magnifique.

The day 5 film revolves around Paris at Night.
The day 4 film focuses on a woman, particularly her hands, lips and legs, going somewhere and writing a letter. I seem to recognise the colours from the new Fall collection.

Lancôme unveils Autumn 2008 Color Collection - Maharani Jewels

Autumn 2008 make up palettes are moving away from the mod, brights and overly natural dare I say, bland, look to a more smoldering effect. The eyes are given center stage in this collection with two color quads for the eyes, one called Lotus Splendor and the other Secrets of Benghal.

That thing about Marc Jacobs...

Not to be a nay sayer.. but I've always thought of Marc Jacobs designs a bit off.. and a bit bland.. In a time of high gloss, high velocity colors, he manages to serve a little bit more drab to your day.

A few choice items...
