Leighton Meester makes an appearance in the upcoming issue of GQ, shot by photographer Mark Abrahams. To say that these photos are hot are a bit of an understatement. In addition to the hot photoshoot there’s also an interview that’s posted as well, in it she talks about…what else, Gossip Girl and GoodFellas!?! Ahhh I think I’m in love. Check the gallery below then have a read at the interview over at GQ.

Leighton Meester GQ Interview

Latest campaign from Passionata for Spring / Summer 2010 featuring Israeli super model Bar Refaeli. The ads take on a playful yet sexy vibe, a modern day take on a pin-up girl essentially. The photos were shot by photographer Greg Kadel, his body of work is a long list of celebs, publications and advertising credits.

Terry Richardson has been doing quite a bit of work for H&M, if you didn’t know he shot the whole Jimmy Choo and H&M collaboration, parts of that ad campaign can be seen here. Here he’s shooting model Maryna Linchuk, seen in various lingerie and sleepwear from H&M, these can be seen in the latest H&M magazine and possibly other magazines down the road.

In the spirit of Casio’s G-Shock line of watches, the oh so portable Exilim camera line receives a tougher looking sibling, the EX-G1.  The resolution specs are competitive at 12.1 megapixel, but the high selling point is the outershell.  Consisting of polycarbonate protectors on the side, an acrylic lcd panel, stainless steel body and tempered multi-coated lens means this guy is meant to survive even the clumsiest of hands.  The Casio Exilim EX-G1 should be in stores next month and retail for $300.

Its no secret that I’m a huge fan of Terry Richardsons work, but usually I’m posting shots he’s done for women campaigns and such, well ladies, today this is for you. Here’s a shoot that Terry Richardson did for an editorial called “Work It Out!”, which is appearing in the November 16th issue of VMAN. You gotta love how Richardson uses playfulness and sexuality in all of his pictures and this shoot is no different. Models appearing in the shoot are Garrett Neff, Nate Gill, Cory Bond, Tanner Tillung and Grayson Gettys, these aren’t all the images but you get the idea. Now, Let’s Get Physical!

Here’s Rachel Bilsons set of photos in the latest issue of Flaunt Magazine. She seems to be making the rounds and doing a few of these shoots and I have to say, I’m loving it. I’ve always had a crush on her. She’s hot as balls and her sense of style is amazing. Her latest project, New York, I Love You, can be seen now and will be making an appearance on the show How I Met Your Mother later in the season.

Vancouver-based photographer Dina Goldstein has caused quite a bit of controversy with her Fallen Princesses collection.

The collection features Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, Ariel, Belle, Rapunzel, The Princess and the Pea, and Little Red Riding Hood.

Her inspiration:

“As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy Tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy Tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm’s stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney’s perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting real women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.”

Here’s a look at the Natalie Portman shoot done by photographer Mario Testino for the upcoming issue of V Magazine. As you can see from the gallery below there’s three different covers for the issue. I really like Testino’s photographs as he uses color very beautifully and Portman as usual looks hot as hell.

I’m not sure why but I’ve never been super into Devon Aoki, could’ve been her role in 2 Fast 2 Furious as Suki that really turned me off, but she was dope in Sin City as the “deadly little Miho”. That is until I saw these photos that I’m now a fan again. This is a shoot done by photographer Sebastian Kim for the upcoming Numéro Tokyo December 2009 issue.

Photographer Charlie Rubin hollered at us a bit ago and I finally had a chance to check out his work. I was definitely not disappointed when I went through his portfolio, his shots are broken down into four categories essentially, you have your mixed-media, black & white shots, color photos and snap-shots. Initially it was the mixed-media portfolio that really caught my eye, but the color photos are just as beautiful. My favorite photos is the one above as well as the color photo with the blue wall below in the gallery.

Check out his work over at www.charlierubinphoto.com.

Pictures from the new Rankin (John Rankin Waddell) book Heidilicious, which as the title may suggest features pictures of Heidi Klum. Rankin’s book, his eighth, features some of the most recognizable shots of Heidi Klum that one would have ever seen, especially if you have a collection of them for “research” purposes.  Below is just a snippet of what you can expect to find in the book, which you can purchase over at amazon.com for $40.95.

This is possibly NSFW for some of you out there. Supreme continues their use of hot ass women in their campaigns, the last one I recall was Krista Ayne and that campaign was deadly hot. This one features model Rosa Acosta and one of my favorite photographers, Terry Richardson. The photos as one would expect from Terry Richardson are very risqué and suggestive. The gallery below and a video of the shoot, sort of a behind-the-scenes if you would.

Back in September we showed you the Fall / Winter ad campaign for Kate Moss’s line at Topshop (seen here). Released just a few days ago is the latest shoot, her ad campaign for the Christmas 2009 collection which is now officially available in all Topshop stores as well as topshop.com. Her cleavage in the second photo in the gallery is spec-tac-ular. Just sayin’.

The concept submissions and finds on Yanko Design never cease to amaze me.  Recently featured is an illuminated Polaroid style 3d hanging vase by  Hwajin Jung.  Jung’s design was inspired by the ideals that a polaroid picture can sustain memories.  Therefore by adding a plant, nature is preserved or rather captured at its best.  I’m not sure if we’ll ever see this design go into production, but its definitely well thought out and executed.

Raquel Zimmerman + Mario Sorrenti + KAWS = one pretty awesome photo shoot for Vogue Paris November 2009 issue. KAWS sets up the whole tempo with his artwork prominently displayed in every shot and the long ass limbs of Raquel Zimmerman combined with the Sorrenti’s eye make for a pretty cool shoot.

It’s everybody’s favourite time of the year, where calendars get shot and dropped, especially when they’re stacked with beautiful neked women shot by one of my favourite photographers Ellen Stagg. I picked up last years calendar and was not one bit disappointed, see here (NSFW). This years edition features Justine Joli, Joanna Angel, Jessie Lee, Nicole, Zoli, Heather Vandeven, Steam, Shay Laren, Ryan Keely, Jeanette Jones, Asa Akira, Charlotte Stokely and more! Cop it over at the Mishka store for $34.99.

Scarlett Johansson has been busy in the fashion world, having just locked down the Mango campaign, she also makes a return to the latest Dolce & Gabbana cosmetic Spring / Summer ads. Something about these photos make her look very much like Marilyn Monroe and that may have been the intention from photographer David Gandy.

Check the rest of the campaign below.

First off I have to admit, I must be the only one that didn’t get to attend the Glow in the Dark tour, with that said, Kanye West has released a photo book of the epic tour that he did in 2008. From the preview images below the photos look AMAZING. The book comes with an interview with tour collaborator Spike Jonze, 400 photographs, a CD with unreleased music and an interview with Ye. The book will run you $50 retail but on Amazon.com you can cop the Trade Edition for $29.99.

Canon is set to drop their latest DSLR in the form of the 1D Mark IV. This DSLR is a BEAST! It comes packed with 16 megapixel, ISO up to 12,800 but expandable to 102,400, 45-point auto focus system, 10 frames per second bursts annnnnnd 1080p video compared to Nikon D3s’ 780p. I’m an avid user of Nikon, started with the D60 and gradually moved up to the D90 and looking to make a move some time to a D3s or whatever more awesomer comes out at the time, but this Canon truly is a jaw dropper. Available late December for $5000.

Mango has changed it up for the Winter season and brought on actress Scarlett Johansson, replacing Penélope Cruz whom repped the brand for four years,  to be model / look for the brand. In addition to changing up the spokesmodel, they’ve also enlisted a new photographer, Mario Sorrenti, takes over for Mert and Marcus who have shot the last four campaigns as well.
