This is the new cover of Vogue Paris, starring Gisele Bundchen, her crazy butt and some sand. Is it wrong that I kind of like this unconventional cover image? “Unconventional” in the sense that you usually don’t see this kind of butt-tastic photo on the cover of a women’s magazine. I could totally see it on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, or perhaps one of the fancier men’s magazines. Still, I do like it. I know everyone loves to hate on Gisele (sometimes with good reason, sometimes not), but the woman has a GREAT body, and I would love to have that kind of butt (and thighs). Plus, I just think Gisele looks prettier when she’s got beachy, light, natural styling. When people try to make Gisele look all “high-fashion” and avant-garde, it’s often a disaster (in my opinion). I wonder how they achieved the sandy butt look? Did Gisele do it herself, or was there some kind of butt-sand wrangler/handler?

Incidentally, Gisele was also named the newest face of David Yurman. My favorite Yurman ads are, without a doubt, the Kate Moss ones. You can see Gisele’s ads here – she looks pretty, but it definitely seems like they’re trying to recreate the Moss ones.

We haven’t talked about Gisele in more than a week, basically since we laughed and laughed at the photos of Gisele and Tom Brady at the Met Gala. It wasn’t that Gisele looked bad – at all. I actually liked her dress, although it was a big boring (and as some of you pointed out, Kristen Stewart wore a surprisingly similar version last year). No, we all laughed at Tom Brady and his surely Gisele-ordered hairstyle. It was pretty rough. Is it unfair to Gisele to blame her for Tom’s hair don’t? I still don’t know. But I still think that they were, at best, embarrassing on the Met Gala red carpet, and at worst, they were completely boring. Neither prospect bodes well.
