@Penny: "5:55"--Air wrote all the songs on that album, right? (Look at us, Penny dear, dating ourselves by calling these things "albums.." Ha!) Very charming Euro muzak, but I still think "Lemon Incest" is Mme. Gainsbourg's finest pop music moment yet.
@BlondeGoddess: Really! The Balenciaga campaign should dovetail nicely with her role of grief-stricken mom and homicidal wife in the latest Larsie von Trier flick. According to some Cannes fest-related crap I read, the MPAA is demanding that von Trier re-cut the film, because as is, they won't even release it with an NC-17 rating.. Knowing how mule-ish von Trier is about final cut (and good for him), this might actually mean the film will never land in U.S. theaters.. =(
@snugbug: What happened to freedom of speech (or similar)? People are old enough to make their own choices to see a movie or not without the MPAA censoring. Crap.
Thanks for reminding me of this guy.. Is he still in the shmata trade? A real artist, IMHO. I was so moved by one of his pieces back in 2000--an overcoat he crafted out of the cover of a mattress on which his friend/neighbor Quentin Crisp had ailed and died. A poetic gesture wrought in fabric--although I can see whyit might've sent consumers + critics screaming into the woods.
@Diziet_Sma: She's just modeling for the campaign though, it's not 'stupidly named perfume' BY Charlotte Gainsbourg. I think that's what Watson was getting at. I could be totally wrong though.
@Diziet_Sma: Ah...yes....but...argh. Charlotte's a MUSE! She and Nicholas have a really close relationship and he's often talked about how much she inspires him. Whatever, I love her, I will defend anything she does, let's face it!
"The people I chose to run my new store in London are nice. I cannot work with bitches, I can't, I can't."
You and me both, buddy...though is he saying they're untalented? I don't think talent and non-bitchery are mutually exclusive. It's kind of a destructive mental construct to have.
Nicolas Ghesquière picked the intolerably cool Charlotte Gainsbourg to advertise Balenciaga's perfume.
This makes me happy. I am going to go on a mission to find these ads and make a scrapbook. And also do my best to not think of Anti Christ during said mission.

I love that there is a tag for 'french resistance'.
then I remembered that most of these tags are for single use. so much for war tales about my great-grandpa blowing up gestapo conventions and making new passports for the oppressed. you know, that type :)

True story.
She could shill for anything (except Wal-Mart) and I would still love her.
