Killer Jeans Ads Pack The Hotties
I’m loving these Killer Jeans ads from India. The ads promote their slim denim design by squeezing a bunch of hot guys and girls into limited spaces. Hey, sometimes we gotta suffer to look good :) The photography is by Prasad Naik.
Our reader Daniel reminded me of the striking resemblance of these ads to the below image by David LaChapelle featuring Joel West back in 1995.

Michael Jackson Portrait by David LaChapelle
David LaChapelle pays tribute to Michael Jackson with a new image portrait that shows the late King of Pop as a modern-day martyr. The image is part of a trilogy inspired by Mexican saint cards.
“I don’t think he was capable of hurting anyone. I think there’s something really biblical about what happened," explains David LaChapelle of Michael Jackson’s life and pedophilia accusations. “His lyrics are so naive and so beautiful. It’s one of the most epic stories of our time, to go from such heights to such depths. He’s a modern-day martyr.”
The famous celebrity photographer has always wanted to capture Michael, but it never happened, “Photographers weren’t nice to him. He got scared.” LaChapelle used a young Jackson lookalike for this portrait, which was shot in Hawaii. The devil in red was played by a friend of LaChapelle, a performer in Cirque du Soliel.
The image debuted today in the Sunday Times Magazine. We thank our reader Daniel for sending the scans and info.
