Eva Mendes had just finished filming Training Day and felt the need to carry a knife for safety reasons. The crime drama featured Eva nude and received a large amount of attention. She told Interview Magazine that at the time carrying the blade made her feel empowered. Upon reflection after seven years since her nude scene in the film, she now feels “stupid” for carrying it.
That was my controversial stage where I’d just started acting. I went through my little Angelina Jolie phase, like I was really tough. I had just come out in Training Day and I was nude in it, so I was getting a certain kind of attention.
During her “Angelina Jolie” phase and carrying weaponry she also packed alternative protection. The knife was a last resort in case of an emergency.
And I did carry a little blade. My God, with obviously no intention to ever use it. I had Mace as well. But the blade sounded cooler in interviews. I was young and stupid.
Mendes has also been featured in Jack Magazine. Again, she will be featured naked. She is no stranger to being in the buff. Her spread in Italian Vogue was beyond risqué. The spread included photos of her topless and sporting several different bouffant hairstyles. At one point she was sucking on her own toes. PETA also employed her for their “I rather go naked than wear fur” campaign in which she was once again without clothing.
I too carry protection. Completely different kind, but at least I can make balloon animals with mine.

Lmao @ the balloon animals.
even other celebrity posts are about jolie —these days other celebs are only satellites orbiting around the more famous pitts
I know I feel like I should be at the temple of Jolie every Friday and bring offerings of hair products for Brad while befriending the Cambodian children of the world!:roll:
Love her dress and shoes. Am I alone in liking a lot of the Italian Vogue shoot?
To be fair, xia, it’s her own words here, but yeah, definitely a bit of J-P overload about.
Carrying a knife= “Angelina Phase” ? Huh? Thats really dumb. I carry a knife in my purse every day & have done so since I was about 14. Its really convinent when you need to open something.
I don’t go anywhere without my Leatherman. One of the first things I bought on my first trip to America. Best buy ever.
She also went nude in other magazines I’ve subsribed to over the years, inclluding (I think) JANE and possibly Allure? She’s naked all the time.
she is a wannabee she should be ashamed for dropping angelina’s name
I CANT STAND HER SHE IS SOOOOO FAKE
QUE COME MIERDA!!! & she is hispanic she should not blame Angelina for her stupidity of having a “blade” it’s in her blood
Bea: I’m confused. She’s stupid for using Angelina’s name or she’s stupid for carrying a blade?
And can you also clarify what about being Hispanic means she must carry a blade? 🙄
She looks like she was attacked by a fireworks display…Just a bit too sparkaleeeee for me. Looks like the old paper doll cut outs but, with shiny bling and bright colors. Sorry, not into that fashion statement at all. What is she trying to say anyway? I’m trying to hide so don’t notice me because I’m carrying a concealed weapon for protection. Boney isn’t sexy either. Could we put the aluminum foil back on the roll please.
She is a mess. Keep her clothes on please. She is not that hot and never will be Aj. Unless she has lots of plastic surgery to look at least half way cute. ugh
This topic is quite hot on the Internet at the moment. What do you pay attention to while choosing what to write ?
One thing that I have noticed is that there are a whole lot of earthquakes these days. Big ones too. So what does that have to do with anything? Easy is as easy does is what I always say. So I found an easy way to make money. It’s a little known secret that is only shared by some top level Internet gurus. The fact is, that this software is 100% legal, “white hat” and ethical, that even giant enterprises use it. The software needs very little babysitting so it’s basically set it up and forget it. This super affiliate push button software is the real thing, so if you’re planning to use it unethically, or use it for scam purposes, this software isn’t for you! It really is as simple as downloading the software and then pushing a button. This never seen before push button software proved that the best and most profitable traffic on the internet is free traffic. Don’t even bother trying to figure out how this powerful software works. All you really need to know is that you can download it (if the link hasn’t been taken down yet) and then push a button and watch the magic. Get it before it is gone -> http://tinyurl.com/pbcsites
