Yeeeah, I don't think I get this.

For me, enjoying glossy fashion pictorials is never a function of liking the clothing on the models but rather the feelings evoked when I look at the clothing on the models. I like the moods these haute couture houses cast over you with their quirky minimalism (Marc Jacobs, Jil Sander, etc.) and their sexually ambiguous human collages (Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, etc.). Perhaps if I had the means to purchase even an extra button off of one of these garments, I'd consider them less as entertainment and more as real advertisements, but frankly, something tells me I'll never know that transition.

My tinker needs the entirety of the evening to figure out whether I hate, love or just plumb don't get the David Sims' shot Spring/Summer '08 Balenciaga adverts featuring your and my favorite hanger, Jennifer Connelly.

I've been looking at these two photos for a while now, and the only 100% sure conclusion I've made is that her hair is a brilliant recreation of how mine used to look after six straight innings of wearing a catcher's mask and shin guards.

Thoughts?

Now *she* wouldn't wear thigh-high boots (hopefully)

Her interview in the January issue of InStyle wasn't particularly interesting (more of her usual "he's amazing" and "I'm so lucky" fare), but then again I don't really like Katie Holmes for Katie Holmes but rather for the idea of being swept away in a Katie Holmesian fantasy world where all that matters is having great shoulders, dressing like a lady, getting unexpected haircuts and taking photos like the ones you'll see below.

Sigh...

Because looking at her makes me happy (UPDATED again)

Because looking at her makes me happy (UPDATED again)

I wish I could send you over to imagebeaver.com to peruse the eight very bare, very NSFW Playboy glossies of KimKar in all her disproportionately-large-ladybits glory, but unfortunately, sometime between last night and this afternoon the upstanding gentlemen who run the site decided to take the leaked photos down.

I know, I know, I'm making a sad face, too.

But be sure to take that disappointment and turn it upside down and inside out by checking out tonight's episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" at 10:30 on the E! Channel. Watching her do a swimsuit shoot certainly isn't the same as watching her make kitten eyes while wearing a triple-strand pearl-necklace "dress," but calm down, there are only a few more days 'til the December issue of Playboy hits a newsstand near you.

UPDATE: these pics now unavailable
