bazaar july 2008 gwyn, rhoda, hurley, anja

edit #1. carolyn murphy by lindbergh. the ocean setting is the best thing here. murphy certainly holds up but shes not my kind of 2008 girl. lindbergh obvs knows how to shoot but its another bazaar shoot where I feel he gives about 25% of his effort - in 1993 it seemed much better. rachel zoe styled its adequate but not much more. acceptable opening edit but also a yawner. 6.5 of 5.

edit #2/cover. gwyn paltrow by lindbergh. gwyn is an actress whom sometimes i think is hot & sometimes i want to kill her. her sexy gwyn showed up here. the subscriber cover in prouenza is much better. lindbergh tried harder here than with murphy & brana's styling is far better than zoe's. much better than expected & gwyn is hot in mini's. 7.7. of 10

EDIT #3: rhoda by kadel. rhoda is blonde & it works. her work is actually at a very high level since 2007. kadel also shot great here & mossman's styling is the best in the ish so far. 16 pg edit this at least can compare with a strong, classic HB story that you'd see in last 10-20 years. 7.9 of 10 really rhoda & kadel impressed.

EDIT #4: liz hurley by terry richardson. I sure wish terry had gone S&M or something naughy with old goat Liz. she looks pathetic & usually terry would be the pathetic one. not much. 3 of 10

EDIT #5: anja by tony ward. anja really acts up here its hot. ward's pics are decent but not exactly all-star. yet anja is so great on 126 & espec 132 its actually oddly successful. not as consistent as rhoda shoot but better in parts. 8.0 of 10 cos I like anja more than rhoda.

EDIT #6 bridget moynahan by doug friedman. pics are like InStyle maybe worse. copy is pretty dull. i mean if gwyn is only slightly interesting, what can you say for BM, whoever the hell she is?! actually HB shld have sent kevin sessums to ask her the worst moment when she was pregnant and brady was already with gisele. hell send joan didion or ellen barkin to ask BM that question & maybe it would be worth reading an HB article more than once a year. still not sure who BM is. no wonder this is back of book. 4 of 10 cos its fun to think af BM crying over Gisele.

VERDICT: the good parts of anja & rhoda make this worthwhile. the probs in moynahan, hurley & murphy show you why HB is schizo but at least anja & rhoda looked good in more than a few pages. ONE MILD THUMBS UP. Maybe Moynahan & Gisele can have cry pity party ?? :) Current Music: glen campbell galveston
