Eva Mendes in Clavin Klein
This recent commercial for Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession has been banned by all TV network stations because they feel Eva Mendes is too sexy in the ad.
My favorite advert
Chanel has replaced Kate Moss in its ads for its Coco Mademoiselle fragrance with Pride & Prejudice star Keira Knightley.
The 21-year-old actress will appear as the new face of Chanel starting next year, the company announced. (This summer she will appear with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest).
Moss's contract expired last October, ending the 32-year-old British supermodel's role with Coco Mademoiselle that had begun in 2002. Last year, Moss lost several high-profile modeling contracts – including those with Burberry and H&M – after a London tabloid published pictures of her allegedly using cocaine in a music studio.
Other previous faces of Chanel have included French star Catherine Deneuve and Nicole Kidman, who represented Chanel No. 5.
"Keira Knightley is a bright, young actress who has already made her mark in a diverse portfolio of films, including her Oscar-nominated performance in Pride & Prejudice, said Chanel artistic director Jacques Helleu in a statement.
Knightley said in a statement that she's "really proud to have been asked to work with such an iconic house as Chanel, and thrilled to follow the extraordinary women who have been associated with it before."

Why is it that only whites can be racists?
Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TV’s Seinfeld
This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act.
He makes some very interesting points.
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans.
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You Call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,'
'Whitey,' 'Caveman' .... and that's OK.
But when I call you, N!gger, Kike, Towel head,
Sand-n!gger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ..
You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you,
so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month , we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance'
OUR lives we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber
of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American
pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students
scholarships you know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges
in the US . Yet if there were 'White colleges' THAT
would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were
marching for your race and rights. If we marched for
our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and
you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce
our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a
white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats
up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a
threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud.
But you call me a racist.

Have South Africa REALLY changed?
I am proudly South African and i am proud to say it.
We are living in a diverse country with democratic rights.
14 years down the line we could almost believe that the times of apartheid / discrimination have long past, but sometimes I do wonder.
Taking with the happenings of the past week regarding the whole “Is FTV Sandton Racism” and that my best friend and colleague just had a smash and grab experience, I have to ask myself where do we draw the line?
I mean, as a person with rights to raise my voice, I guess I have the right to question the following:
When people of color feel their rights have been violated or they have been discriminated at all they are quick to jump and create Facebook groups, write articles to newspapers and start a heavy debate, but when white people are violated or discriminated by people of color, we just have to simply keep quiet.
Where is the sense in all of this? I mean then I really do have to ask myself the question, have we really changed as a democratic country and do we really have equality?
Quote of the day - 5 September 2008
If we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to shape our lives, to seek the kinds of growth that we find individually fulfilling, then we can have no security: we will live in a world of sham, in which our selves are determined by the will of others, in which we will be constantly buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us. -- Nena O'Neil

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
