Not So Sweet
An interesting kerfuffle arose recently when Cadbury ran this ad:
...and Naomi Campbell took offense at what she perceived as a racial slur.
Do I think the comparison was meant to be racial, likening the color of chocolate to the color of Naomi’s skin? No.
Do I think it was a dumb, dumb move on Cadbury’s part? Yes.
They could have picked a “diva” of any other race, and no one would have blinked. But I’m kind of agog that no one in Cadbury’s marketing department stopped and said, “Wait—does this leave us open to accusations of racism?

Random Notes
I did a double-take recently while walking past a New York & Company store. Was that Kenza Fourati in the window?
I believe it was!• • • Some tantalizing tweets have already heralded 2012, but we're not allowed to see the face of the girl who's occupying the bikini:
ilovesigirls thinks he's ID'd who she is. They look like Brooklyn's hips, but she just cut her hair. So he thought it must be Esti Ginzburg, but a deeper analysis of the waist-to-hip ratio led him to believe it's brand-new SI girl Jessica Perez.• • • Marc Jacobs has released several skin cancer-awareness t-shirts featuring various buck-naked celebrities, including SI models Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, Marisa Miller, and (most recently) Irina Shayk.
(I've heard a rumor that Carolyn Murphy has also posed, but I couldn't find an image...)
Here MJ Day and Darcie Baum show off their Shayk-shirts.
• • • As you know, I love a good hot girls list. Models.com has ranked their Top 20 Sexiest Models, seven of whom are SI girls. Let's just enjoy them, shall we?
