Wait…it’s May,right? Yes it is, but there are already the first news about this year’s “Sexiest night on television”

I don’t remember getting infos about it that early last year but CBS has just announced the place and date for the VSFS08.

Here’s what they say:

“”The sexiest night on television” (aka the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show) will return to CBS this fall(Nov.15th), and take place in sunny, sexy Miami at the luxurious Fontainebleau Miami Beach. Victoria’s Secret supermodels Heidi Klum , Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller (who was recently voted #1 on Maxim’s Hot 100 list) and Miranda Kerr, among others, will strut their stuff down the catwalk in the holiday-themed lingerie runway show. The show will also include musical performances (past performers include Justin Timberlake, Seal the Spice Girls) as well as red carpet interviews, model profiles and a behind-the-scenes peek at everyone’s favorite fashion show. Noticeably absent from the show will be one of our fav Victoria’s Secret angels, Alessandra Ambrosio, who is due to have a baby with boyfriend Jamie Mazur later this year.”

Well…new location, no Alessandra. Let’s hope VS sticks to their promise to make some changes this year because we all are expecting something better than last year’s “exagerrated fashion show” with waving and dancing models making weird faces on the runway. Bring back the “fashion” part of a fashion show, VS!!!!

 Vogue has all kinds of special issues…The Age Issue, The Beauty Issue, The Fashion Issue…

For April 2008 they give us…The Shape Issue.

Annie Leibovitz photographed the world’s biggest athletes together with the world’s biggest supermodels. Weird combination? Well…not really since one thing plays an important role for both sides: Their body.

“What sports teaches you is not only respect for your body but that you have to be aware of your body, that you have to work with other people,” says Gisele Bundchen, who is on the cover with basketball player Lebron James. Gisele used to be a volleyball player in high school and is now dating Patriots quarterback Tom Brady so sports seem to play an important role in her life;)

After a month of being missing, the body of Katoucha Naine was found in the Reine river on February the 29th. The first internationally known African super model, Katoucha paved the way for models of African descent. Known as the Peul Princess she was both a face of the Yves Saint Lauren brand and muse to the designer himself. Later she quit modeling to become an activist amd wrote a book describing her childhood trauma to spread awareness.

“He loved her enormously,” said Dominique Deroche, head of PR at the fashion house. “She was exactly like an Yves Saint-Laurent drawing, a proud head on a long neck, very slim but with strong shoulders, made for haute couture. She looked magnificent on the catwalk and often wore very powerful outfits like a Cubist navy-blue dress with doves around the neckline.”

Two breaking news released by the Pravda (Rus) and the Telegraph (UK),  just some days before to the Valentine’s Day (Jan- 12th, 2008), expounds the idea that as soon as the first quarter of this century, women and men would be able to make love to a robot, and probably to the first half of this century, not only to make love to a more perfect “domestic appliance”, but even to have a small, conformable talk with it (it doesn’t mention if the wine cup before, or the cigarette after are included). That idea is based on the concepts released by David Levy, a PhD in gender studies and artificial intelligence on his book “Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relations”, published in November of the last year.
