Marc Ecko Talks About Lindsay's Head

In an attempt to ride the Lindsanity publicity train as long as humanly possible, Marc Ecko is setting the record straight on his new Cut & Sew campaign after it was revealed last week that he only used his digital muse' head.

Ecko said in a statement:

I conceived the print campaign concept in February 2010 to be inspired by illustrator Robert McGuiness’ iconic James Bond movie posters from the 1960’s and 1970’s. The print campaign component was always intended to be illustrations.

In order to make the production deadlines for fall advertising, we had to shoot the print portion in April and used photographer Zach Gold to capture this component.

When we decided to cast the muse portion of the campaign we decided to cast Lindsay Lohan. We made her a video pitch in April, she said yes to becoming the campaign muse, for print and for the digital components, and we shot her for the digital component in NYC in May.

Lindsay saw the campaign images we had already shot on a model and approved those to become the illustrations of herself based on the photographed images.

The process of creating the illustrations was done by illustrator Mike Evans, based in San Francisco, who converted the images to illustrations by hand and with a digital illustrator program. This was not a touch of a button, Photoshop process. Each illustration was a laborious task.

In the tradition of the illustrators of the period of pulp action films, it’s best practice to shoot form, and then illustrate from that. This is how bond posters were made as well as the iconic Star Wars posters.

Each campaign shot is a composite of many shoots, including some of illustration model, and actual parts of Lindsay from the video shoot. We shot the campaign in very high-resolution green cam, so we could blend with video stills, which we did.

The rumors that we went behind Lindsay’s back are untrue and that she’s upset is completely false. We have been very open about the way the campaign was shot and certainly were not hiding this fact from the beginning.

This is like saying that Zoe Saldana wasn’t really the star of Avatar.

When the campaign goes live on Tuesday, August 10th, you will be seeing lots of Lindsay in action.

First of all, comparing someone like Zoe Saldana to Lindsay Lohan is just wrong. They aren't even on the same level!

Second, that shameless promotion at the end of the statement was clASSy Marc.

Marc Ecko Only Wanted Lindsay's Face For New Campaign

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan Wacky, Tacky & True Fashion Smashion Photoshop Awardz Ad Campaigns Marc Ecko

Lindsay Lohan may be the digital muse for Marc Ecko's Cut & Sew line — but only from the neck up!

Turns out all the ads from the campaign are Lindsay's head superimposed onto a model's body.

HA!

What's the point of using someone as a muse if you don't use all of them?

Oh that's right, for press!

Lindsanity Got To Keep Her Extensions While In Jail

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan Wacky, Tacky & True Hairstyles

Special treatment? What special treatment?

Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore is setting the record straight when it comes to Lindsay Lohan's extensions — they're still attached to her head.

While most inmates would have had to take them out, La Loca's stayed in since her fake locks were conveniently bonded to her hair and too close to her scalp to have them removed.

We're pretty sure a razor could have helped that problem. Or scissors.

Just sayin'.

Lindsay's Glam Squad Prepares For Her Release

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan Fashion Smashion Beauty Buzz

This is ridiculous!

With Lindsay Lohan's release from jail quickly approaching, the train wreck is making sure she's ready for her closeup when she walks out of Lynwood.

According to one report Lindsanity has told stylists as well as hair and makeup people to be ready to go from midnight on Thursday through the weekend so they can make her look pretty for the 30 second walk to her car.

But it's not going to be easy.

A prison insider says once Linds has been processed:

"There is a small, dirty public bathroom in the reception area that she will be allowed to use briefly before she leaves. She will not be allowed to plug in a hairdryer and get a blow out and she can forget about using a flattening iron. There will be no full-length mirror and only if the corrections officers decide to be nice will they close the area to the public. Remember, everyone who works at that jail hates the press. They don't want to be bothered with all this nonsense and want to rid themselves of Lindsay as quickly as possible."

So what can we expect La Loca to be wearing once changing out of her orange jumpsuit? A pair of 6126 leggings, of course!

Yeah, plugging your crappy fashion line while being released from jail is great publicity.

NYC Tanning Salon Holds "Free Lindsay" Rally

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan Wacky, Tacky & True

Seriously!?

Beach Bum tanning salon is not happy that their client Lindsay Lohan is locked up in jail, so today they're holding a "Free Lindsay" rally in New York City.

The event is expected to draw a crowd of 40 to 70 people where they'll participate in a ribbon-tying ceremony and hold signs that say "We love you Lindsay! Come home soon."

The fake n' bake chain even sent out a press release, saying:

Lindsay Lohan is one of Beach Bum's most loyal clients, with her entire family regularly visiting the salons. The salon hopes its campaign will draw awareness to the harsh punishment inflicted on Lohan due to her celebrity status and that she will be released from jail before her 90 day sentence reaches completion. […] The owners of Beach Bum miss seeing her at the salon and hope for her speedy return.

Do these people not read or watch the news?

First of all, we all know Lindsanity's being released early due to overcrowding. Second, she won't be waltzing into your New York salon any time soon because she's been ordered to 90 days in rehab once she's released.

Idiots.
