In 1952 Revlon cosmetics hired photographer Richard Avedon and top model Dorian Leigh (sister of Suzy Parker) to create the image for their new line of lipstick and nail polish called "Fire & Ice", complete with the tag line “for you who love to flirt with fire......who dare to skate on thin ice.” In 2010 Revlon re-released the Fire & Ice ad, this time shot by Mario Testino. They restaged the original look except with the actress Jessica Biel in Dorian Leigh's place. And that's the problem. Must we always have an actress in every ad and on every magazine cover? What is this obsession with having so called celebrities involved in everything? BRING BACK THE SUPER MODEL! The coat the dress the background every thing looks beautiful, except for the energy, the sultriness, the je ne sais quoi, of the women starring in the photo. BRING BACK THE SUPER MODEL!
