The Simpsons promo machine is still going strong, preparing for the family's bigscreen adventure on July 27th. The marketing for this movie has been wonderfully creative, but even though real-life Squishees are delicious, I think my favorite plug has got to be the new fashion spread in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar. "The Simpsons Go to Paris" depicts the Simpson family wearing outfits straight from the seasons' high fashion catwalks. The spread also features Simpson-ized versions of supermodel Linda Evangelista and designers like Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier. Check out this post with scans of the illustrations, helpfully accompanied by real photos of the outfits on the catwalk. Sadly enough, many of the fashions look better in the cartoon world than in the real one. Case in point: Those bizarre "if Carol Burnett had a stage lighting fetish" Viktor & Rolf numbers. And I also find it a little unsettling that Donatella Versace looks healthier in Simpson-yellow than in whatever shade of leather her skin is now.

Totally agree. The dresses look so much better on the Simpsons.
But what I really loved was Maggie with that little blue french hat on so you can not see her face. Totally lovable :-)
Oh and I wanted to add that Lagerfeld and Donatella Versace are pretty much on the heels of Michael Jackson down the road to no-face-at-all-left land. Just like David Bowie. My own personal jury is still out on Jessica Biel. I sat there during her appearance on Leno this week and wondered whether her face is a product of surgery or not. I lean towards yes.
