No such thing as bad publicity


Do you want to look like this woman? Photograph: PR

Crack schmack, we can't pass up a good marketing opportunity, right? So spake the good folk at D&G who wisely reasoned that, yeah, OK, Amy Winehouse might not be looking exactly aspirational at the mo, to use the popular fashion term, but sod it, the girl's famous! Ergo obviously we all want to look like her, even if there is a video of her on the web apparently talking to a non-existent cat and snorting coke and ecstasy off a credit card.

So we salute Dolce and Gabbana for proudly sending us this photo of Amy carrying one of their bags (and an emergency pint of ice cream, obv) in what looks like the middle of the night, off to, well, who knows where? Next time they should get an interior shot of the bag, showing how useful all those little inside pockets can be.

You look at those wild eyes and, damn, you just gotta buy that handbag, don't you?
