sheeeeeeeit, that photo looks painted

How did they get a wax figure to pose that way?

Note, also, that Alto bags start at around $500, which is double the yearly salary of the average Cambodian.

Let's ease off that high-horse there for a second, chief.

Note, also, that Angelina Jolie donated millions of dollars, a ton of time and put forth a ton of effort for dozens of humanatarian efforts (look it up), including partnering with a doctor to start a project that resulted in a Children's Center in Cambodia that takes care of children afflicted by and affected by HIV.

So, if Angelina wants to own a $500+ handbag on the side, girlfriend is more than entitled to it.

And, I don't see any make-up and I find the picture of her stunny.

Good day, sir.

Her bag is "elegantly weathered"? I guess that's what happens when you're one of the beautiful people; even wear and tear on your personal possessions is done stylishly.

those camouflage pants ain't hiding the fact she's sporting one heck of a camel toe

The most ironic thing is that we're supposed to aspire to the same bag as the chic, elegant humanitarian beauty, but nothing says "low rent" more than a Louis Vuitton bag. Every suburban mall rat has one hanging on their arms.

No make-up my ass. And that bag doesn't look weathered to me. I call bullshit.

But she does look pretty. And Cambodia, in that photo, looks stunning.

She might not be wearing makeup, but that picture has definitely been photoshopped to hell and back.

Vi. We're the same brain.

Oh oh, do you also get to sleep at night by ruling the world as Superman?

Are we even sure that's Angie? Because I'll be honest, I thought it was Cillian Murphy. Wearing eye shadow.

Her hair sure is gorge, though.

A “weathered” Louis bag means that the leather trim has oxidized from light cream to honey brown. It happens with time and exposure to the elements.

$500 for a Louis is a steal. Yeah, it’s probably a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a purse for most people, but there are a few of us out there that prefer to spend our money on a nice purse every few years in place of all the latest gadgets (I’m looking at you Apple fanatics). Angelina could easily afford a 10k Birkin, so her $500 Louis comes across as thrifty to me.

Good for her. Girl deserves to treat herself after all the goodwill she does.

Gives more and does more for the less fortunate than snarky me will ever do so I ain't pointin fingers. If they want to photoshop in some eye shadow and airbrush her face I don't care. Why would I? It's a lovely photo. BFD folks.

I don't think there's anything wrong with her owning one of those bags, but if you're going for soulful and thoughtful, with a poor third world country as your backdrop, I don't think the bag should actually be IN the photo. I know it's an LV ad, but it just makes her look disingenuous.

In every museum and art gallery there are oil-on-canvas-paintings that show angels who envy the angelic glow of her skin and the perfection that is her wavy mane. (Hair doesn't behave like that.)

That is to say: The swamp and the mountain etc. are photographed, but Angelina, the bag and the boat are oil-on-canvas, and were photoshopped in later. There is no other explanation for this picture.

Entitled white people look 'in their element' toting around 500$ bags in developing countries.
This is a horrible horrible photo. Just apologize and say it was a mistake, Annie.

What the fuck?! I mean, I'm no great fan of her or anything, but to pick on her feet? Lordy! How the hell do women exist in this world?

Alcohol and rage, MM. Alcohol and rage.

"Note, also, that Angelina Jolie donated millions of dollars, a ton of time and put forth a ton of effort for dozens of humanatarian efforts (look it up), including partnering with a doctor to start a project that resulted in a Children's Center in Cambodia that takes care of children afflicted by and affected by HIV.

The issue isn't her "entitlement" to a $500 handbag. It's our collective entitlement to not having our intelligence offended.

Audrey Hepburn was also very charitable and did good works and I wasn't subjected to this nonsense with her.

You're saying that anyone questioning the claim that she's not wearing make-up is being an ass?

I don't see why several of you are getting so upset about this, no one is saying she's not generous with her time and money. It's just a bit grating to see this ridiculous ad and then have several posters here fawning over her and her hair. The juxtaposition between the advanced case of consumerism in the photo and her good works in Cambodia is jarring.

She contributes 5 million dollars, builds a community shelter, a wildlife refufe, and spends 10 years giving to this country and ALL she gets is this lousy photo? REFUND!!!!!

As to her thinness -- it is entirely conceivable that a person who has spent as much time with starving children as she has might feel terribly, terribly guilty about eating. Audrey Hepburn did. When walking around refugee camps visiting people who literally have nothing to eat, one feels grotesquely guilty about returning to one's home where one has all the food one could possibly ever want to eat and more.

Just a thought.

Succubus.

Paultera wins the Interwebs.

Don't forget to pack a wife.

"... giving a lot of money to underprivileged kids gave him the right to speak on behalf of all Americans (the implication being that poor little Americans simply don't have the werewithal to speak for themselves) and use the country and its people as a damn fashion accessory."

Wow. Your description sounds a heckofalot like the modern Democratic party....

What I want to know is why they couldn't have adjusted the position of her body so that it looks like she actually has two arms. Seems to me she could have brought the other one around and avoided looking like an amputee victim.

"wearing her own clothes," what does that mean? Who else's clothes would she wear? Does she routinely borrow Brad's pants and socks, or do they just get mixed up in the wash? Does it mean she's not wearing something designer? She just strolled down to KambodiaMart and picked some nameless pants and a longsleeve off the rack?

"I'm making this high-art ad with a bajillion-dollar photog, what should I wear? Uh-uh ... nah ... not that ... shit, everything's too baggy, I really should eat a sammich ... Ah, fuck it, I'll just go to Target and grab something out of the $1 aisle."

Yeah. Right.

Jesse M., I was thinking the exact same thing...very Millais, without the obvious talent.
