Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2014 Haute Couture

With a wall of glowing lights at the far end of a glossy black runway, it seemed that Alexandre Vauthier wanted to establish a nightclub ambience for his Spring couture show. Not so. "It was beach and windsurf!" he said emphatically, noting that even the ambient music reinforced the mellow vibe. There was, come to think of it, a beachy attitude to the oxblood bra that appeared midway through—its cups framed in crocodile—and to the hot pants that opened the show.

Cara Delevingne for LOVE Magazine VIDEO

You know how impressed everyone was that the actors in Les Misérables sang their songs in a single, zoomed-in take? Well, Cara Delevingne can do that, too, only lip-synching to Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much" and holding a kitten at the same time. In a video for LOVE magazine, she wears a bondage mask and performs the whole song with the help of a Russian Blue kitten, who steals the show

Still Sexy After All These Years

Nobuyoshi Araki is a Japanese artist who unapologetically creates art around a central theme: sex. He has created over 450 books in his lifetime and has an uncanny ability to make anything and everything appear erotic. We interviewed Araki a while back and he seems like on old angry genius who thinks about photography constantly to an obsessive degree, and his outputs shows it. He is about to add another book to his catalog, because Taschen is releasing a limited edition retrospective of his favorite bondage imagery he’s compiled over his storied career. It even comes in its own wooden box, for safe keeping/hiding. Check out the photos of beautiful Japanese women who are tied up, if that sounds like something you’d be interested in.

Madonna's 'Girl Gone Wild' Too Raunchy for YouTube VIDEO

The video-sharing site has restricted Madonna's latest music video "Girl Gone Wild," with all its high-heeled manitard action, to viewers 18 years and older after informing the singer's team (as the Post put it) that "they must edit out shots of bare bottoms, a man rubbing his crotch and an implied masturbation scene where a man gyrates before a mirror." While Madonna's rep compared this to early nineties MTV censorship of "Justify My Love" (which is freely viewable on YouTube despite exposed nipples, bondage gear, and a simulated sex scene), a more sedate version of the video is reportedly in the works.
