>> With top models like Lily Cole and Iselin Steiro quitting modeling for school, there's always new spots to be taken (especially since no one really seems to have staying power these days, ignoring Kate Moss).  The latest pick seems to be one Darla Baker, complete with the greenest of green eyes and long dark hair.  Shall we see her at the upcoming fashion weeks?  I think so.

>>  Surprise, surprise... the new fall issue of POP has an amazing editorial in it: "Hell's Angels" by Mert and Marcus.  The models are everyone from Kate Moss to Tanya D. to Lily Allen and Peaches Geldof.  The styling and makeup is sublime, but what else should we expect from the supremely talented Katie Grand? 

This picture, definitely bland colorwise compared to some of the other editorial photos, has to be my favorite.  Partially because I'm having a Marie-Antoinette moment (which has pretty much spanned my entire lifetime) and partially because of the contrast between the ridiculously opulent wig and the stark nudity of the rest of Francesca Versace.  All this picture makes me think is... maybe it's about time Versace made use of its newly graduated blood... and I'm so glad POP is now coming out three times a year.
