[Insert synonym for fierce]

Britney's in our bad books (only because we're genuinely worried for the security of her mental health) and Girls Aloud's new video is mildly irritating - almost like a teething infant gnawing on your toes -, so the following post is a sanctuary of sorts for those who cannot connect with the below posts.

Today two of the six images taken for the Louis Vuitton Spring 09 campaign were leaked/released. We'll let them speak for themselves, mainly due to our homosexual-enthusiasm lexical field struggling to stretch itself beyond 'fierce'.




The eternally-sultry, ever-rejuvenating, gloriously-glorious Madonna is the new face of Vuitton, and more exciting for Madonna geeks is the fact that they were shot by long time collaborator Steven Meisel. Now if you were wondering exactly HOW 'long time' they have been collaborating - yes, he loves her long time - just have a gander at the pictures below.

Vanity Fair, 2008

Vanity Fair, 1993

SEX, 1992

Like a Virgin, 1984

Madonna, 1982

Anyway, back to the new photos. Seductive, evocative, and startlingly feminine... she may be wearing clothing from the joint wardrobe of Mel B and Russell Crowe a la Gladiator, but HER HANDS HAVE NO MAN-VEINS! Fabulous. We love her with or without veins, actually, but that was just something to fill the word count out a bit.

We'll be sure to post the remaining four when they leak. Or just scan them in from the various fashion 'bibles' we'll be purchasing in the new year for the photos in all of their high quality, pretentiously glossy glory.
