Posted in inspirations, interesting stuff by the life and death of a player on April 27, 2009

It is no surprise that Calvin Klein’s new TV ad is banned, again, the video was directed by Steven Meisel. A very beautiful and voluptuous video! This isn’t the first time for Calvin Klein, since their image is young  sexy steamy greek statue-like boys and topless shiny dreamlike girls living their overcharged libido wearing CK jeans. Video is very provocative but not as provocative as photo shoot “Dogging” for Italian Vogue by Steven Meisel again. The photos weren’t accepted by the Italian Vogue but V magazine published them in US.

Dogging is a new sex trend which started in Britain, people having sex in public places especially in cars and open to audience and interaction.

Here is the Steven Meisel banned ad:

And here is the 90s ad which was banned (not Steven Meisel):

And some of the dogging photos:
