UPDATED: Miley Cyrus: Overexposed or Marketing Genius? Terry Richardson Captures More of Miley's Tongue and Then Some (ALL the pics).




Haven't yet got enough of Miley's tongue or her twat-touching? Photographer Terry Richardson's latest images of the overexposed Miley Cyrus were shot in New York just these past two days, October 3rd and 4th where she's in town for her live hosting of tonight's SNL.



No marketing dummy, Miley Cyrus is just pumping up her image and making her presence known to help sell her latest album release Bangerz (which is getting some awesome reviews) and to entice you to tune in to tonight's Saturday Night Live.

Clearly the two (shown together below) were having a lot of fun as you can see from the raw looking shots (no retouching, a little red-eye and some nip slips) which were taken in a high rise apartment in New York City. As far as I know, the shots are not for any particular publication.



I especially love this shot of Miley as Terry:


Here's a peek at ALL the photos from Terry's tumblr diary of the scantily-clad superstar touching herself, sucking on cigars and an ice cream cone and sticking out that phenomenally large tongue:

I love that Terry's foot is peeking out from under her crotch via the reflection in the above shot.

A Poet, An Astronaut, a Photographer and A Model in Cole Haan's New Ad Campaign + Videos (And A Look Behind The Scenes).





In 1928 Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan created the Cole Haan brand and to celebrate their 85 year history, they've launched a campaign, "Born in 1928", photographed by Daniel Jackson.



The print and digital campaign features individual portraits reminiscent of the Blackglama and old GAP campaigns, both of whom used famous personalities posed in their clothes and shot in black and white.

The Cole Haan campaign features writer and poet winner Maya Angelou, photographer Elliott Erwitt, astronaut of Apollo 13 Mission Jim Lovell and model China Machado - all of whom are 85 years old (except Machado who is 84).



Shown below, clockwise from upper left, are China Machado's modeling photo, Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, one of Elliott Erwitt's fabulous photos and Jim Lovell on the cover of LIFE:


"They are all vibrant examples of how timelessness and true style are born out of confidence - and that never expires," said Cole Haan vice president of marketing Erin Riley. "They are as relevant today as they were in the past, and they all represent various perspectives that we thought would resonate with our consumer."

All of the personalities wore Cole Haan shoes including the official campaign shoe, the Silver Limited Edition Lunar Grands, worn by Jim Lovell (below):


"There's real clarity and real conviction for what we want the brand to stand for and what we are committed to bringing to light in all of our channels from advertising to marketing," Riley said, explaining that this includes looking the brand's heritage to inform its future.

The campaign was shot in New York at Pier 59 by Daniel Jackson and styled by Tiina Laakkonen.

The Videos
Here are the videos that runs on Cole Haan's site to accompany the campaign:

"We need to look back to look forward," Riley concluded. "At the same time, we are a very modern brand and we don't want to be perceived as a traditional heritage brand. We're more about attitude than an age group."

The black-and-white photo portion of the campaign debuted on Sept. 3 and has launched on colehaan.com, their social media networks, and in its store windows. Next month the ads will appear in November issues of GQ, Elle, Vogue and Vanity Fair, among others. Billboards featuring the campaign will pop up in major cities like Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Toronto.
