The Killer in Campbell

Naomi Campbell graces the cover of the October Issue of Interview Magazine.  Her photo spread however is very disturbing and makes me question what some fashion editors are thinking.  Naomi is depicted torturing a male model and leaving him dead. This is going a little over board, it seems that the riskier and controversial the better the pictorial, remember that Vogue Italia's Water & Oil spread. There is no question that these spread are getting more coverage in the media, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot

Killing Us Softly


I thought this would be fitting to go along with "Wicked Wednesday."  This is part two of the video "Killing Us Softly" by Jean Kilbourne the author of "Can't Buy Me Love."


My favorite part of the video comes close to the 1:40 mark. This video explains the way media has come to show women in advertising and in the media.
