VADGE THE NEW PLASTIC FACE OF LOUIS VUITTON

There were rumors of Madonna being the spokesbitch for Louis Vuitton’s latest advertisement campaign and now the pics have been revealed!
You know me and my little black heart always has something negative to say, but for the first time since looking like death on a diamond-encrusted plate, I can't hate on how fabulous Vadge looks. I mean, she still confuses her vagina between her legs with her plastic face (as the pictures show), but I'll sort of look past it for the time being. The folks who worked overtime to photoshop the shit out of these pics deserves a lifetime achievement award.

Six photos were shot by the LEGENDARY (and frequent Madonna collaborator) Steven Meisel instead of fashion shoot dream team (and frequent LV photo shoot collaborators) Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Which basically means Meisel is the only one who can make Vadge look good in hard lighting (I tried not to go in for the read).

Vuitton designer and creative director Marc Jacobs says they went with the Queen of sucking away lifeforces after he "just blurted out, 'I think we should do Madonna'" at a meeting after being inspired by her Old & Sour tour the night before. He also said he "was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy."

Jacobs asked her via text message, and that she responded within 5 mintues with "I'd love to."

I guess it is true. Folks don't do face-to-face meetings anymore!

The photos expand on the classic Parisian aesthetic of Jacobs' spring Vuitton collection, and the designer says that the photos, which "feel more like portraits," are very contemporary despite their sepia tones and almost cliche French references.

Regardless of the things that mostly piss me off about Vadge (that sarcastic smirk she always wears. Her whoremongering when it comes to money) the pics do look great. Even if she's starting to look like ET's stepmother before all the airbrushing.
