Gift Giving 101: Be Different!

I'm still on my gift giving kick...no, I'm not a saint, gift giving sucks! But while "I'm looking at stuff for other people" what I'm really doing is "looking at stuff for myself."
So anyways, while you're "buying gifts for others" you may want to think outside the box this season. Step off the beaten path and look at these unisex and very grown-up sets.

Paint The Smile Off Her Face!


Alba gets hit with the retouch brush.

Leaked photos which have been posted on various internet blogs show an original shot of Jessica posing for Campari, in an image which was later airbrushed.

The newlywed is seen posing in a white strapless short suit with a black belt on the limited edition calender, snapped by celebrity-photographer Mario Testino.

However in the picture which is not airbrushed, Jessica looks softer and more natural.

In the before picture, Jessica reveals a stunning hourglass figure with a few more curves around the hips and waist.

I actually think she looks more beautiful in the "before" shots. Especially her face. What say you?
Either way, they are some beautiful photos. Campari ads are always beautiful.
