From Dior to.. Aldo ?




I really really really like... No, liked Jessica Stam. I remember going on vacation in Europe and searching pictures of the model Marc Jacobs named a bag after on Style.com with my cousin and saying that her almost invisible sky blue eyes and white blonde hair was amazing! I was a huge fan.
Now this week upon lighting my cigarette,taking a sip of my coffee & opening my new issue of Teen Vogue*, I saw a 3 page spread of the new spring ALDO ad... I was looking at the shoes** and almost flipped on the pages when I stop... take another sip of my coffee... and see Stam! In the ad! In the ALDO ad! Modeling for ALDO!...

Well... I immediately texted a friend, I needed to tell somebody something that almost seemed like a joke to me. I mean this girl went from bloody Dior, Nina Ricci, Dolce & freakin Gabbana, Bvlgari... and now ALDO.

Ok ok ok.. I get it! The economy is that bad, right? A girl needs money for rent, bleaching, starbucks coffee, more bleaching...Right?
Because agree with me or not, what could be the other reason for accepting such a contract?

Kate Moss would have never done such a silly thing.
Ever.


* Yes I am subscribed to Teen Vogue. Ever since I was 14. It would seem weird for me not to get them monthly now.
** I was looking at those shoes because of.... Freedom to look at whatever I want?
