Oh! Those French
Porn Yesterday: Recall and 'Mixed Opinions' for French Vogue's LatestAs it regularly does, French Vogue publisher Conde Nast collaborated with a major advertiser to sponsor a beauty supplement; this time, the honor fell to French beauty giant L'Oreal, which splashed out on 52 pages, including covers.
Aside from the multiplicity of L'Oreals ads -- featuring Claudia Schiffer, Laetitia Casta and Natalie Imbruglia (news), among others -- the supplement's pages came illustrated with images by 70s-era photographer David Hamilton of naked Lolitas, most of whom seem incredibly new to the whole puberty thing.
...
So L'Oreal had no problem with the imagery, some of which shows nude girls who cannot possibly be over 13 years of age? "Well, of course there were mixed opinions; some thought it was OK, some didn't. We'll know more after the survey."
The survey?
According to the spokesman L'Oreal will be conducting a survey, most likely by phone, of French Vogue subscribers to see what they thought of the supplement in order to assess the viability of launching a bigger issue next time.
