Sofia Vergara's speed of light journey from "that hot chick in Soul Plane" to one of the most recognizable faces on TV has been exciting to watch. Due largely to her scene-stealing performances on ABC's Modern Family, the Columbian actress is quickly becoming an American sweetheart. But, what is it about the 39-year-old beauty that makes her so well liked? What is it that is causing everyone from K-Mart to Pepsi to CoverGirl to throw endorsement deals at her?
I get a lot of emails, tweets and comments from readers and I've noticed something unexpected: quite a few of my readers are female.
Even though much of what I write is specific to male ideology on style, women have really taken an interest. That got me thinking... which FEMALE bloggers interest me?
Starting today, I will be doing a series called Stylistas about my favorite female bloggers that write about lifestyle, fashion or general style.
Reanimating dead celebrities is creepy. There, I said it. I cringe when I see companies using the likeness of a long dead celebrity to hawk a product (especially one that the celeb never even lived to see). But, somehow in 1:30, director Jean-Jacques Annaud makes it work brilliantly in his new spot for Christian Dior's J'Adore.
The short "movie" pairs the classic beauty of (actress and long time Dior spokesmodel) Charlize Theron with that of Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe. In the ad, they interact, hug and prepare to walk the runway in front of the backdrop of 'Galerie des Glaces' at the 'Château de Versailles'.The result is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
