This Is Not A Joke

Filed under: Anglophilia > Old People > Fashion Smashion > Scarlett Johansson

Rolling Stone Keith Richards is the new face of Louis Vuitton.

God bless Marc Jacobs and his warped sense of humor!

Renowned photog Annie Leibovitz shot the senior rocker cradling his guitar on a hotel room bed for LV.

The slogan appearing in the ad reads, "Some journeys cannot be put into words. New York. 3 am. Blues in C."

You can see the Keith Richard fronted ads in mags come April.

Scarlett Johansson and former head of state Mikhail Gorbachev preceded Richards in Vuitton ad campaigns.

Picking Richards is totally subliminal messaging.

Mr. Leatherface is reppin' the leather goods and fashion company!

      Hey, Perez don't pick on Keith!
      He's a rock legend, he's lived a long life, He's a legend man!

      And he's supposed to be all rock n roll rebel, not caring about money or fame. What a sell out. The Stones should have hung it up years ago. I saw them in the 80's and they sucked then. The sound quality and their ability to play and sing was horrible. It sounded nothing like what they recorded.

      Well, you know it's true. Innovative choice by Louis Vuitton, IMHO.
      Richards has forgotten more than most of you have learned so far, lol.

      Holy Shit - Leibo's gonna have to fit her camera lens with a 15 dennier stocking and trowel some Vaseline all over it to make Keith look even vaguely human. I look forward to seeing the results!

      The fact that Keith Richards is still alive is nothing short of a miracle. He has got to hold the guiness wold record for doing drugs.
      Doctors around the world must be scratching theire heads. I know I am..

      What's the difference between THE ROLLING STONES and a SCOTSMAN?

      Re: cutie pie – At least he's got talent, cachet and money; as opposed to spouting racist blob comments out of frustration. Plus, dude, he's very old, and has earned the lines and above that, the respect.

      Johnny Depp based his portrayal of Jack Sparrow on Keith Richards. And that's why he wanted Keith to play his father in the last film. Boy the people who come on this site are fucking ignorant assholes. Screw you all except the ones in the know about Keith and the Stones. Do your best Jagger!
