Nicky, how I miss you.

This is old news, but I was watching the Chanel Mademoiselle ads again (the one with Keira Knightley) and was just so crestfallen watching it. It was such a huge disappointment. I tried in vain to console myself, and did successfully by watching the old Baz Lurhmann with the ravishing Nicole Kidman! Don't get me wrong, I think Keira Knightley is pretty too, (i mean if she tried eating at least once a day, she'd be much more pleasing to the eye)

But she does not, in any way, embody the class and elegance of Chanel! Watching the video, I just can't believe it when she's walking down, with her graceful and warm persona. In real life she'd probably be giving the finger and cursing. So I HATE this ad. I don't care if it's Joe Wright. (God he loves her so much). Oh, and thank you Joss Stone for ruining a perfectly good Nat King Cole classic. I can understand what they're trying to do though. The whole young and classic stylish modern woman was the main target audience, but I still don't like it.



The Nicole Kidman one is... heavenly. It's perfect. The music, cinematography, story, god I love it so much. I am very lame and this serves as a pre-empted proclaim about what I am, going to say, but I did cry when I watched it once. Clair de Lune is so pretty! And they're on top of a building in Paree on a Chanel sign. Oh. There goes my heart.



Another one, though short, is the short one with Vanessa Paradis. This is really cool and sexy! I love her, she's such a vixen! This is very le francais and the nod to Gabrielle Bonheur's iconic suits at the end is the finishing touch.
