Vanity Fair, "Look at me!"

Vanity Fair features a bunch of pretty opera singers in its May 2009 issue.

Can't.... stop... laughing...

Ahem. Sorry. Seriously. Love how they're all posed, especially Mr. Front-And-Center. Click the link or the photo itself for the full-sized version and the full-sized effect of the facial expressions and shoe detail. But here's a smaller version, pulled from their website, to whet your appetite.



Can someone please tell me what is up with those shoes? Or am I going to have to pick up the magazine for the description, price and where to purchase?

I thought the same thing about the shoes!! It's like...whoa. Slippers? Scrambled eggs on them to indicate he's the captain of the stage or something? Otherwise, he's his usual hotness.

Oh, I didn't know that scrambled eggs on one's shoes had such a meaning. You really do learn something new every day.

Re: The hotness... I'm not letting myself go there. (well, I'm trying...)

I put a link to a blog entry questioning why there weren't mezzos in that photo on my blog. Mezzo bias!

Susan said...

DivaV - I saw that - I think I was in Florida and restricted to my iPhone so I didn't go to the link. Then you wrote so much since then... well anyway long story short I just found out about it today. And there you go.

OMG Diva I just realized that we're going to see each other IN PERSON this summer!!! FUN!!!! I'll pretend not to know you if you think I'll ruin your image. ;)

Those shoes are pretty out there.
But let's be honest, I wasn't really looking at the shoes. :)

Susan said...

I'm trying to look ONLY at the shoes.

They are similar to the velvet slippers for formal wear that Brooks Brothers sells, but the logo looks different to me, but I can't really see it all that well.

Thanks John! And why doesn't it surprise me that you'd know about Brooks Brothers slippers... Tell the truth, are you wearing them right now??? (You know I'm just teasing you!!!)

John said...

I have the calfskin pumps with a bow, but I don't wear them around the house.

Lindsey said...

Hahahahaha!!!Oh my god, I can't breathe!!! That totally made my night! Much as I love Nathan dearest, that is THE most ridiculous, romance novel cover-esque pose ever!

And once again, in the spirit of "who is the better publicist," Mr Gunn's professional web page mentions the article but fails to include a link.

Any readers out there who know Mr. Gunn personally - Please pass along my job application for updating his web-page into a user-friendly, fan-friendly format...

Am I the only person who thinks that Rolando Vilazon is extremely ugly?

But Erwin Schrott! :-)
