Eva Mendes Allure Cover



Eva Mendes dons Dolce & Gabbana for Michael Thompson in his New York City studio for the August 2010 cover spread of Allure, on newsstands July 20. Here are some choice quotes from the 36-year-old actress:

On her public image: “I don’t want ‘sexy’ to be my defining characteristic”

On her school yearbook photos: “One of the benefits of having a big smile and big teeth is that if you just smile you can look happy”

On a double standard existing when it comes to nudity in Hollywood: “[When] other actresses who aren’t thought of, maybe, as being quite as attractive do full-frontal, they’re called brave. Nobody has ever said, ‘Eva, you’re so brave for doing full-frontal nudity.’ Just because I’m attractive doesn’t mean it’s not still scary. Why am I not brave?”

wow that looks horrible

Way to prove she's hideous and in no way alluring, Allure magazine.
zulkey 13th-Jul-2010 05:56 pm (UTC)
she's one of those celebrities who I'd forget existed if she didn't pop up in magazines all the time.
adri278 13th-Jul-2010 05:56 pm (UTC)
Her face looks very strange in that photo.

I agree, it's wonky and I can't work out how.
urbanelegend 13th-Jul-2010 06:48 pm (UTC)
I think it's because you can see her tongue in between her teeth, which throws some of the symmetry off. Also, because she's looking down, she is showing way too much eyelid, even though they aren't. Her eyes seem more than half closed above her open mouth. That's what throws it off for me. It's an awkward picture all around.

It's fucking weird because she has all these nice features that make her look plain as hell when they're put together.

Odd choice for a cover photo.
mcra7x13 13th-Jul-2010 05:57 pm (UTC)

someone give her a congressional medal of honor for her bravery
joelies1619 13th-Jul-2010 05:59 pm (UTC)
lol ikr
numb_crystal 13th-Jul-2010 06:02 pm (UTC)
lol such a ridiculous for her to say

there's a difference between confidence and being conceited
screamofwheat 13th-Jul-2010 05:57 pm (UTC)
the quickest way to make yourself appear unattractive is to refer to yourself as attractive

What are you talking about? she IS attractive, saying otherwise would be false modesty
screamofwheat 13th-Jul-2010 06:23 pm (UTC)
or you could just not say anything about your own looks? it's one thing to graciously accept a compliment if someone tells you you're attractive rather than deny, which would be false modesty. openly bragging about how you are soooo good looking just makes you look like an uppity bitch.
secretly 13th-Jul-2010 06:24 pm (UTC)
lol ikr
dior_chic 13th-Jul-2010 07:43 pm (UTC)
I agree. I can't stand girls who claim they're ugly when they really aren't. They just fish for compliments and just come off as insecure and annoying.
snowrobot 14th-Jul-2010 12:36 am (UTC)
ikr... she is attractive? lol how can she not mention it... being attractive, just like being ugly, shapes who you are.. you have experiences based on your appearance.. why cant she talk about it frankly?!
revertigo 13th-Jul-2010 09:22 pm (UTC)
i'd normally disagree because i love it when people own it (and let's be honest, if a guy acknowledges his good looks, girls would fawn over him cos we love arrogance), but she's acting like she needs recognition for being attractive here, lol. annndddd she has to call out those that aren't.

“One of the benefits of having a big smile and big teeth is that if you just smile you can look happy”

This sounds like a Chicky tweet
eyeslikeyours_ 13th-Jul-2010 07:48 pm (UTC)
indeed
shasta_beast 13th-Jul-2010 05:59 pm (UTC)
I think she's so gorgeous.
joelies1619 13th-Jul-2010 05:59 pm (UTC)
this is why I hate this bitch
metalowls 13th-Jul-2010 06:00 pm (UTC)
can't stand her, ever since i read in the daily mail that she found it hard to find clothes to accommodate he ~ voluptuous breasts~. deluded B-cup at best.
toddies 13th-Jul-2010 07:35 pm (UTC)
lol magazines always refer to her as voluptuous. i think people get confused & think anyone with dark hair/eyes = voluptuous. i think they might not know what that means.

i still like her though, w/e.
monster_mutt 14th-Jul-2010 03:11 am (UTC)
i know, i wanna see her find clothes for me, a size 6 with fucking DDs
metalowls 14th-Jul-2010 10:05 am (UTC)
omg you poor thing :( haha i don't know how it is for your size, but i'm a size 12 with D/DDs (depending on bra manufacturer..) and it's genuinely impossible. when I was a b-cup (like her) it was easy as hell!
school_girl 13th-Jul-2010 06:00 pm (UTC)

tucker 13th-Jul-2010 06:01 pm (UTC)
