I just love that Russell James is on bended knee, presenting Gigi with this book like it's her personal trophy... and yet it's Miranda Kerr on the cover. Russell delights me. My only prior knowledge of the Aussie photog was as the judge on the ANTM semi-spinoff The Shot, for photographers, on which he connected every single sentence out of his mouth with either "That being said," "Having said that," or, "That said," and a few times, "Having said that, that being said..." He seems so amiable.

I sort of love Gigi for coming to a lingerie company's event in one of Ebeneezer Scrooge's nicest nightgowns. It clearly needed cinching, too, except that the buttons extend down too far to make it truly work; for my money, they shouldn't poke down under the belt tie unless they go ALL the way down.

It is impressive to have a top that weirdly wound, and yet find everything exactly as it should be and in its ideal place. She looks great.

Tweed is not the most absorbant material to use in a diaper.

This looks like a backward sports bra and a vaginal venting system.

I do not think the tank top fixed any problems.

Oh no. She found a skirt designed by a Hell's Angel who quit to follow his passion of fortune-telling

This is 96 percent SUPER cool, and the remaining 4 percent is how the bottom zipper disrupts the hem. But get ready, now, because the next slide is the NSFW one.

Girl. You forgot to keep something a secret. IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME.
