Someone call the Sony guys and tell them to hire… Continue

A Little Daring and Quite Naughty: The 2009 French Vogue Calendar

You know it's a little risque if the front cover of your calendar has a naked boob on it. And instead of thinking it's sexy you think it's crazy! (So call me a prude.) It's in the December/January issue of French Vogue if you must indulge yourself. The calendar features fourteen models wearing Louis Vuitton lingerie and shoes, styled by Carine Roitfeld and shot by Terry Richardson. Personally I'll settle for the Victoria's Secrets catalogue. Give me Miranda Kerr in a bathing suit over these…
