It is all over the interwebs, this 'sexy' shoot that
Blake Lively has done for the cover story of the latest
Bullett Magazine. There are three key reasons. The first is simple,
Gossip Girl - in which she has starred for six years - is coming to an end and she is starring in Oliver Stone's new film
Ophelia. So there is a straightforward promotional push behind it.
The second reason is that she is dating Ryan Reynolds and the two of them have been rather spectacularly quiet and stayed away from the public eye. So there is a natural intrigue and hunger to find out new stuff and gossip about Blake and her relationship. Which she obviously says absolutely nothing about. Duh.
And the third reason is that she is rather a pretty girl with a special relationship with people like Kaiser Karl Lagerveld and Christian Louboutin. In other words she is a fashion plate. So it is kinda obvious that people would want to see the shoot.
I am excited about it for altogether different reasons, of course. I like her. I love the fact that she is besties with Florence Welch. I like her style. I like her approach to life. I think that she is cool. And I am considering her for fantasy fashion book club membership. What do you think? Is she in or out? You let me know.
