Seeing (RED)

I have had very involved, very sweaty dreams that did not result in as much wish fulfillment as this picture. Meryl Streep with Penelope Cruz , no check that – a topless Penelope Cruz. Oh, swoon. And they’re making beautiful picture together for a good cause, namely the international (RED) campaign to fight AIDS in Africa. But it doesn’t stop there. Penelope brought a bunch of her friends together (along with the incomparable Ms. Streep), to help her in her guest editing stint of the May 2010 issue of Vogue Paris. I want to go to there.

To be a fly on that wall. I realized, while studiously pouring over the photo, that all of the assembled actresses have played gay except, I believe, Gwyneth Paltrow (though she cross-dressed in “Shakespeare in Love,” for what that’s worth). So that knowledge makes the pairing even more delicious.

How are we supposed to process all the gorgeous in this picture?

(Kate Winslet & Penelope Cruz)

In this picture Gwyneth is working hard to make amends for not having played gay before.

(Gwyneth Paltrow & Penelope Cruz)

This picture is a perfect example of how a T-Shirt should be worn. Seriously, take notes.

(Naomi Watts)

I can’t wait to see her kiss Annette Bening, even if this picture makes Julianne looks like a lost waif in a wind tunnel.

(Julianne Moore)

And finally, this picture just makes me want to hug Penelope for bringing this much pretty together in one place. Also, for not wearing pants.

(Penelope Cruz)

If I must see red this Monday, this is truly the best possible way.

* Gwyneth Paltrow playyed Margot Tenenbaums in Wes Anderon's "The Royal Tenenbaums".
Her character had a "2 seconds sequence" with a french woman while in Paris.

I loved Cruz before, but her putting together this group of women in THIS way... makes me love her even more. And that picture of her and Meryl, well, as I'm sure you can imagine, it sort of makes my life.

I think I read somewhere penelope means
royal wife. the general on the myth, went to
troy war, it took about 20 years to come back home,

but she waited until he came back.

I don't know where I read, but I feel somewhere.

I'm so happy you comeback, and sorry for
my temper, you know that it's not actually for you.

the pictures and links look so great!
it's almost night,
so good night, thanks!

What did they do to Kate Winslet's face in the cover pic? I barely recognised her :/

Awesome photos in general, but way OTT on the photoshopping.
