Gisele Defends Tom After Superbowl Loss

06 February 2012, 21.01 | Posted in Models, celebrity | No comments »

Watch as Giselle gets heckled by Giants fans in the video above as she leaves the stadium after yesterday’s Superbowl. In the video you can hear her say, “My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” referring to her husband Tom Brady’s passes dropped by New England Patriots receivers.

First impression–even just being a regular person she stands out as really tall and oh-so-striking with her long, sexy hair. Second: I love her unfilteredness (see prior quotes on breastfeeding and sunscreen) in general and here it’s expressed in the form of loyalty–a trait that wins her bonus points with me. Third: But she shouldn’t blame Tommy’s teammates, that may be okay in the me-me-me world of supermodels but in sports it is often said there is no “I” in team. And finally, I feel for her having to deal with sports fans and their often extra-mean-for-the-fun-of-it, anti-female, fashion and foreigner mentality. Check any of the comments sections for this story elsewhere and they are awful. I always think the fashion industry is cold-hearted, but it’s a fluff ball compared to sports.

Tom Brady’s ‘Step’ Commercial For Ugg Boots

08 September 2011, 19.41 | Posted in advertisement, boots, celebrity | 6 comments »

Yes this is a men’s item again (watch it, Jeff, we’re coming for you!), the thing is this Ugg commercial featuring Tom Brady (wife of Gisele to the fashionistas; superstar quarterback for the New England Patriots for the sports lovers)  fascinates me because as a big ESPN watcher I was intrigued by how intensely he was mocked when word first hit he was signing on as the face of Ugg boots for men, with further teasing not long after when he was spotted possibly wearing a scrunchie and definitely dancing awkwardly while in Brazil.

The ad, with backing music by Mos Def, will premiere on this season’s kick off of Monday Night Football (New England vs. Miami) and you know what? I think it’s gonna work. The music is good, there’s no sign of Giselle but there is a pittbull and it’s not too, too macho…actually sort of perfect for the demographic it’s trying to target. It’ll be interesting to see what if anything ESPN and their ilk have to say about it.

Jay-Z + Wifey

When we were chatting yesterday with Shana of Pitch Control, the topic of celeb style came up and, natch, Beyonce’s name was in the mex. We agreed that while Beyonce’s legendary creds are money in the bank, sometimes (not always!) her look is a complete mess. It’s like she keeps trying to run that New York cool look, but the Southern belle in her can’t help but meddle in the mix and the results are not cute!

Case in point. Here she is at a party her man (who, FINALLY, is willing to be photographed putting his hands on her in public!) recently held at his New York 4040 Club:

^^Okay so she’s working the cute black mini, which creates a great backdrop for her big ole Chanel piece. It aint cutting edge granted, but it’s cute enough. But then look at the damn ole school, ”flesh-colored” stockings she’s wearing! WTF???? That’s so damn Sunday school that I gotta wonder if ANYONE has the ovaries to tell it like it is to her so she doesn’t leave the house looking ridiculous?
