The two-toned hair, the Nestle’s Quik tan, the cleavage as collarbone? The Marc Jacobs new ad campaign confounds the Rage because it’s, well, dumb and ugly. Don’t get all Smith College on me here and say that the designer is commenting on the objectification of women as dolls or teapots or sex symbols. Victoria Beckham looks as hollow and vacant as the Lindt dark chocolate Easter bunny--now decapitated--in my refrigerator.

Marc Jacobs--spotted at Perez Hilton’s 30th birthday party over the weekend--seems determined to position himself in the eye of the pop culture storm. The Rage wishes that he would devote himself to inspirations gleaned from more meaningful sources. Jacobs used to celebrate talented offbeat muses like Sofia Coppola.
