[Cross-posted from Lucire] We’ve a few more shots from the December 2 launch of Jessica Alba’s calendar for Campari, held at la Permanente in Milano, Italy. Surf over to the main part of the site here. The story on the calendar, plus a few details of its making, can be found in our story yesterday.

At the risk of this becoming the unofficial Laural Barrett website and blog, my colleague Kip Brook in Christchurch sent the above photograph to me and gave me his permission to republish. I am not sure of the event, but we can safely say Ford and Adidas are involved. Red is the colour of the local rugby team, the Crusaders. Focus, Jack, Focus. I’m waiting for Kip to get back to me about what Fiesta this was, and whom Escorted Laural there. It looks like a Popular event and one worth Escaping to.

PS.: From Kip:

The Crusaders presented Laural a jersey signed by Dan, [R]ichie and the boys to go to a big [charity] auction at the Miss Uni pageant in Mexico next month. The guy in the photo is Crusaders marketing manager Tim Blake and the other woman is Crusaders promotions manager Brooke Freeman.

Turns out my Wellington, New Zealand New Year’s Eve gig won’t be on New Year’s Eve. The organizers have decided to split the event into three, which means I am “on” on February 25, MCing the Chinese-influenced fashion and dance show. Should be fun like a noodle house, especially, as I understand it, the Chinese (as in the Republicans), the Reds and Falun Gong will be present.
   But hey, it’s New Year, and we Chinese are far too superstitious to kick it off too negatively, and it would suck to lose face.
   The kick-off to the Chinese New Year Festival is on January 25, at the Council Chambers and hosted by the Mayor. New Year—the proper one—is February 18 on the newfangled Gregorian calendar.
