Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Ad Campaign by Steven Meisel

I really like this advertise campaign shooted by Steven Meisel!!
The Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2011-2012 campaign shoot was a complex and carefully coordinated operation involving not only six young, up-and-coming models, five vintage cars and their chauffeur, but also seven pairs of pedigree dogs.
"Steven Meisel and I met and decided we would do this wonderful story of beautiful vintage cars, little dogs and fresh-faced young women. It's a very classic scenario, and of course it suggests travel, but I think we gave it a fresh, modern and sometimes a little bit naughty, tongue-in-cheek spin." Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton Artistic Director
These striking scenes take up the narrative of the Louis Vuitton fashion show at the point where the woman leaves her hotel and steps – along with her pet pooch – into her chauffeur-driven limousine. "Who wouldn't want to be this gorgeous young woman in the back seat of this beautiful car?" asks Marc Jacobs. "And wherever she's going, she's dressed in style this season by Louis Vuitton."
"Louis Vuitton’s forthcoming fall-winter campaign has it all: pretty young women, striking vintage cars, vaguely fetishistic fashions and adorable pooches.
In fact, dozens of canine hopefuls turned out for the casting, with only seven pedigreed pairs making the cut. Their doleful eyes compete for attention with six up-and-coming models with tongue-twisting, Blackberry-thumb-inducing names: Zuzanna Bijoch, Daphne Groeneveld, Gertrud Hegelund, Nyasha Matonhodze, Anaïs Pouliot and Fei Fei Sun.
Accessories also share the spotlight, including high-heeled rubber boots, officer caps, driving gloves and variations on the Lockithandbag , including one crocodile version that can be chained to a diamond-pavéd handcuff.
“Who wouldn’t want to be this gorgeous young woman in the back seat of this beautiful car?” asks MarcJacobs , Vuitton’s artistic director, highlighting the tongue-in-cheek take on the French brand’s familiar travel theme.
Steven Meisel shot the campaign, with styling by Karl Templer, makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Guido Palau. It is slated to break in August issues."

Synopsis From Blurb:
Alex Rider wants his life back. But when you're the world's most successful spy, there's only one way out. Alex's final mission will be the deadliest of all.
One bullet. One life.
The end starts here.
Review:
After over ten years, the final Alex Rider has arrived. And I can honestly tell you, Anthony Horowitz did not disappoint.
Five months have passed since we left Alex after his adventure in Crocodile Tears, and he’s just a normal teenager now, with no connections to the world of the spies and MI6, who have promised never to use him again. They have kept their promise and for the first time in one long year, Alex feels safe, ordinary.
MI6 may have seemingly forgotten him, but Scorpia most certainly have not. They were beaten twice by this single, fifteen-year-old boy, and their reputation is in ruins. Now they’re back, with a brand new mission: To create a situation in which the British Government will be in fear of a scandal that will lead them to being cut of from the rest of the world. Something so horrifying, so shocking, that no one will want anything to do with the British for years to come. And the name of this scandal? Alex Rider…
A sniper at school, a crashed helicopter. Alex is in danger – again. MI6 are more than happy to take him and Jack to safety until everything is safe again. Of course, there is one condition…
I can’t believe this is the end of Alex Rider. I’m truly going to miss these books, with their break-neck speed and non-stop action. And as for the characters, well, Horowitz is the master at character development, and for creating believable ones that are at the same time often extraordinary. Admittedly, this wasn’t the best of the series, but it had that same addictiveness, that same action. And it was also the most emotionally powerful of the nine, as well as more serious. I think
Alex has grown up so much: no more is he the innocent, confused boy he was in Stormbreaker, he’s now a damaged fifteen-year-old. He’s still brilliant, and his instincts are breath-taking. But Alex is legally still just a child, who is still searching for a home, a purpose, somewhere to fit in. And from the start, I was hoping he would. I really love Alex Rider. I honestly have no idea how Horowitz managed to create such a unique, amazing character, so far apart from us, yet so relatable.
As for the supporting cast: amazing. Jack Starbright (I love her too! She truly loves Alex, and would do absolutely anything for him); Smithers (gotta like the guy, with his “fast waddle”, mad inventions and great sense of humour); Scorpia; and a second, familiar face from the past, one that surprised me. Just amazing.
The ending… I knew something bad would happen: I read it on Goodreads somewhere. I was fairly sure of what it would be. But I still cried when ‘it’ happened. Horowitz didn’t end it happily ever after. Alex Rider was always very much down-to-earth, based on true life. Very rarely are there happy-ever-afters for teenage superspies. And yet I still wish he’d had one.
I have loved this series, read every single one of the books, even have them on Audio CDs. So this was bittersweet; more bitter than anything else. I’ll miss this series.

In My Mailbox #16
In My Mailbox was created by Kristi at The Story Siren. It's a perfect way to see who's reading and review what. Awesome!
So, went to the library to pick up a book on body language (I'm just that weird) and ended up leaving with four more books. Also went on a book website - just to browse. I ended up ordering some.
But, on the bright side, all the books are good, and I got two new ones to review with a entirely different main girl: a mermaid! Can you believe I've never read a mermaid book?
Anyways, this is what I got:
For Review:
Something extraordinary is lurking in the deep ocean waters off the coast of Aptos, California. In just a few weeks after moving to the small beach town, sixteen year old Marina has nearly drowned twice, enchanted the hottest guy in high school, and discovered a supernatural creature. If she can only manage to survive her increasingly dangerous encounters with unpredictable mermaids, she might just be able to unlock the mystery of her past to learn how to appease the mysterious forces that seem to want something from her...and maybe even find true love along the way.
Between The Land And The Sea is the first book in the series "Marina's Tales". Her story continues on in book two, The Moon And The Tide.
Between The Land And The Sea is the first book in the series "Marina's Tales". Her story continues on in book two, The Moon And The Tide.
These two were sent to me by Derrolyn, and she described them as: "sweet romantic suspense with a touch of the supernatural". What kind of paranormal addict would I be if I turned down such an awesome mermaid supernatural love story?

Where Were You When The World Changed?
This was on my wishlist, and now I have it! Yay! ^.^ I can't wait to read it and see it!
Borrowed from the Library:
If You Stick Around, You'll Get The Message
Wow; this was an amazing book! I sat down to read a little of it, then, suddenly I just couldn't put it down! I still have my review to write, but I'll tell you now: this is a
book!This is described as a "brilliant supernatural thriller with a modern twist" and I've only read the first chapter, but it looks amazing. Can't wait to see where the playing-card world goes!
Two Girls, Three Friends.
One Family Falling Apart.
I've wanted to read this for ages, and so when I happened across it, how could I not take it home to read? Just looks so good, and it was oringally in Francais. Very cool. (:
Well, that's me for this week. Sorry this is so late, but my laptop's gone and died on me, and seeing as it's the bank holiday I can't get it fixed 'til tomorrow. So, I'm sorry if my posts aren't as regular this week.
