On my way to finding must-follow fashion twitter accounts today (I had just started a Twitter account you see), I came across this video. For those of you who haven't seen it before: it is short "film" directed by Karl Lagerfeld, starring Rachel Bilson and that f***ing hot male model Baptiste Giabiconi (I can never remember how to spell his name). By film they really mean long version of your typical ice cream ad. I've seen quite a few Magnum ads before, and they like to make their chocolate blocks on a stick seem all glamorous and desirable, with Brangelina look-a-likes pulling off super spy moves and girl in evening gown sliding her way down a building to get to those Magnum ice cream bars. This ad, and the two below, are just as over the top as the rest of those Magnum ads and you know what? It is probably the worst thing I've ever seen Lagerfeld direct! Actually I think that they are so bad that they are hilarious, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
Despite how bad these "films" are, I'll probably go try one of those ice creams someday just to see how Rachel Bilson felt when she repeatedly bit into those chocolate blocks. I wonder how many takes she did for those ads...
