Seek and ye shall find

Vanity Fair caught my eye at the supermarket yesterday. The cover shot is of Kate Winslet.

You have to look close, because it doesn't look like Kate has looked in any other pictures or any other movies. The set-up is that she's "channeling" Catherine Deneuve in her most provocative role, Belle du Jour, about a housewife who has a day job as a prostitute. In the movie, when she's the prostitute, Deneuve wears gauzy lingerie, occasionally flashes a breast or a butt, and generally looks as amazing as she looked in her youthful prime. Winslet doesn't quite go so far (not that it's difficult to find more of Winslet than shown in the magazine), but the most du Jourish shot is not online, it's only in the magazine. I shall suffice it to say that Kate's backside and open-backdoor gown are remarkably lovely. When a woman's nethers are bare and most everything else could be rather quickly, then she's clearly ready for a good time. And that the impression conveyed by the picture.

If you're interested in "Best Picture", you'll have to raid the racks.

By the way, there's a bit of a controversy about whether or not the pictures were retouched and Kate's complexion appears far more flawless than reality. If these are true-to-life (makeup and all, of course) then she's in great shape and has lushish skin. If she's more normal than shown, well, let's face it, she's still hot -- and a remarkable actress as well.
