Yes, we’re back! The new cast of ANTM Models were announced this week. Hard to believe we are at Cycle 16. Who is your pick? This is one of my favorite cycles and we had a lot of fun shooting it! You’re going to love our international destination, Marrakesh, Morocco … I made friends with a camel! Don’t miss the premiere Wednesday, February 23rd at 8:00pm on The CW!
You know me, I’ll try and tweet as much as I can on Wednesdays… it’s always good to talk with you and hear what you think!
With the SAG Awards there’s definitely lots to talk about. My fab fav was Tina Fey, just ’cause she dared to go outside her comfort zone and give us all a little sumthing, sumthing! Her red Oscar de le Renta was stunning! Honorable mention goes to my other girls rocking red Mila Kunis in Alexander McQueen and Julianna Margulies in Yves Saint Laurent.
I don’t like to criticize because fashion is so subjective, but I will say – I wasn’t crazy about Winona Ryder showing up in what looked to be someone’s wedding dress. It was in fact from Alberta Ferretti’s Spring 2011 Bridal Collection!!! It’s my “really??” of the week! Winona, work those assets … you are a fashion maven … I feel it!
Sao Paulo Fashion Week … if you haven’t heard, Model Lea T walked the runway at Alexandre Herchcovitch’s show … turns out Lea T was a he … and stole the show! Enough said …
Gillette Venus announced this week that Jennifer Lopez will be their first Global Ambassador. As the face of Venus, she will help reveal “The Goddess In Every Woman” and launch new philanthropic effort dedicated To Female Empowerment Through Education. Go JLo, anything that empowers women gets full support from yours truly!
Chanel’s new favorite gal Blake Lively tops AskMen’s Annual List of the year’s most Desirable Women. Others making the list are Mila Kunis, Sofia Vergara, Selita Ebanks, Miranda Kerr, Cheryl Cole, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Pare. What do you think? Who should have made the list?
Vanity Fairs 17th Annual Hollywood Issue is out this week. I always look forward to these cover composite shots because they aren’t easy shoots to do, trust. This one doesn’t disappoint. Love the 30s feel. The shot was photographed by Norman Jean Roy. The Front of the Fold features Oscar Co-Hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco, along with Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhall. In addition, the “IT” GROUP includes Jesse Eisenberg, Jennifer Lawrence, Noomi Rapace, Anthony Mackie, Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis, Joseph Gorden-Levitt, Andrew Garfield, Rashida Jones, Garrett Hedland and Robert Duvall. Love it! Kudos to all involved.
Kate Moss was in the headlines this week as well. It was announced she’ll be the new face of Dior Beauty Addict lipstick line. Watch for the ads this May!
And lastly, New York MB Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 kicks off this Thursday … who is attending shows? Whose collections are you most excited to see?

Vanity Fair…oh my God!
Hello Jay! First of all I’d like to say that the picture of you in the desert in a yellow scarf is absolutely amazing! I love the jacket!
As for my pick for Cycle 16, (unfortunately, I don’t know the names of the girls), but if to look at the picture in this review, so it’s a girl who stands almost in the centre, the mulatto with long hair. And by the way, is Cycle 16 for short models again? Lots of the girls on the picture look short.
Anyway I’m looking forward to C16, though it can take lots of time, here in Russia they haven’t shown even C15 yet.
In Russia they showed only 12 cycles. What a pity!!!Hope I’ll watch cycles 13-16 some day!
My picks are Sara (alien looking with good figure), Mikaela (interesting face) and Dalya (beautiful in every way!).
I LOVE that Oscar de la Renta that Tina Fey wore… so pretty!
Also super excited for the new ANTM. Words cannot describe.
I just stopped by to say hello from Romania. I absolutely love your work with ANTM!
