GAP-TOOTH MODELS: THE NEW STICK-THIN


Gap-Tooth Models
Perhaps Lauren Hutton, Madonna and Lara Stone (respectively) started the rage first, but is it a coincidence that two of this Summer's most visible Ad Campaigns are fronted by Models with one distinguishable trait? Gap-Teeth. 

Although Kate Moss has in recent years become synonymous with Rimmel, Georgia May Jagger - daughter of Mick & Jeri Hall - has taken the reigns for the Cosmetics Company becoming instantly recognizable for her soon-to-be-famous dental chasm.  "Get the London Look", she tells us with her inviting eyes and seductive lips.

International Clothier GAP also has fittingly played on the pun of their name, utilizing the looks of another gap-tooth Model in their Be Your Own T Campaign. The doe-eyed blonde Model steals every Group Shot in which she appears and is perhaps the single most identifiable thing about the Campaign.  I don't even remember a thing about their Tees or what might be so unique about them, to be honest ...but I remembered the Model.

On another level though, this is a Statement about the changing norms of the perfection-obsessed Fashion Industry.  What can be seen as a flaw by many now is being placed front and center as a statement of self-acceptance. How could one not support that?

MICK JAGGER HOSTS "SNL": KRISTEN WIIG SAYS FAREWELL


Mick Jagger on SNL
Fantastic 37th Season Finale for NBC's Saturday Night Live! Rock Legend Mick Jagger not only hosted, but also filled the role of Musical Guest last night in a great display of acting chops.  Jagger showed his range, playing a Gay Actor in mock Game Show Catch Phrase which saw him trying to flirt with his Game Partner (Taran Killam), while dropping some not so subtle clues about his Sexuality.  

Jagger also did a brilliant job in a Karaoke Skit which saw Fred Armisen and Bobby Moynihan do impressions of him as he sat tortured, failing to see the resemblance.  In his Musical Performance, he was paired together with some of his favourite new Acts, Foo Fighters and also Arcade Fire showing that he's still got those Jagger-like Moves.

Mad Men Star Jon Hamm even made an appearance on the Show's Cold Opening titled The Lawrence Welk Show which had him appear as an Italian Crooner, Johnny Prosciuotto (a play on Jon Hamm).  His Performance kept getting crashed however by Kristen Wiig's unwelcome attentions as she tried seducing him onstage with her disproportionately-sized hands. Brilliant. Who knew Hamm could sing so well?

Last night also was Kristen Wiig's Swan Song on SNL, receiving a Tribute from her Co-Stars and Jagger, presented in a Skit wearing a Cap and Gown as "one particular Student who won't be returning this Summer".  Holding back her tears, Wiig danced to Ruby Tuesday alongside with the Show's Ensemble and Jagger.  She will be missed.

VIDEO PREMIERE: MAROON 5 FT. CHRISTINA AGUILERA - MOVES LIKE JAGGER


Still from Moves Like Jagger Video
Finally the Music Video for Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera’s Moves like Jagger has been unveiled after the Track first surfaced in early June. Having peaked already at number right on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the Canadian Hot 100, hopefully a shirtless Adam Levine is the secret weapon to propel its way up the charts further.

Directed by Jonas Åkerlund the Video combines old footage of Mick Jagger together with that of Aguilera and Maroon 5 in a fitting tribute the Rock Legend deserves from these two former Grammy-winning Best New Artists and judges of NBC's runaway hit The Voice.
