Did I not predict when this DSquared2 campaign launched months ago that Linda E. would do serious damage to Naomi C.? Oh, you don’t recall? Well, I certainly meant to go public with that thought. For even though Naomi is the one who’s known for her violent temper, Linda has for sure been shoring up her reserves with something nasty. Or maybe this is somehow meant to be a symbolic statement on race? We’ll explore further in round two.

Okay, so maybe United Colors of Benetton has shifted its advertising focus from people of color to clothing-palettes of color. But don’t these be-pompadoured lovelies make you smile anyway?

How gypped would you feel if you were Roberto Cavalli? The egomaniac hired Daria Werbowy and created a fantastically lush ad campaign with the Canadian beauty, above, only to see her go and do basically the same thing for Matthew Williamson’s H&M line, right down to the shoes (but without the fabulous Princess Leia hair). Economy or not, wouldn’t you feel like a sucker paying the Cavalli price?

Is this Diesel ad actually a hoax put out by the competition? Because this kid looks like a Hitler Youth. And while I’m sure white supremicists are kinda freakin’ out about Obama, I’m also pretty sure that’s neither the demographic of Diesel, nor of Cookie, where the ad appeared.
