Carmen Kass has the dumbest look in the trade. Everybody speaks about her legs (that are great), a lot mention her eyes (beautiful), her breasts (magnificent) or even her personality (benefice of the doubt).

But the truth is elsewhere. Every man who has ever seen her in a magazine knows perfectly well her real asset is unmentionable - she looks stupid, and to most men, it's a great aphrodisiaque. As Anita Loos wrote half a century ago in her famous best-seller, "Gentlemen don't prefer blondes, we just look dumber".

You can check this in her latest appearance, a long editorial feature in the December issue of Vogue US. The photographer is Steven Meisel, and the subject is something complicate about moving from Palm Beach to Saint-Barth without faux pas. Any excuse is perfect to show girls in bikini in december, as Conde Nast folks know perfectly well.

So in the pic above (the full frame, big scan is here), Carmen has her famous, trademark dumb look.

Now, watch the difference sunglasses can make: In this pic, she looks deadly intelligent.

Another trick photographers use a lot with Carmen Kass is let her smile a bit, big Vogue no-no, because her eyes look narrower. But Meisel has the perfect solution - the shadow-from-her-hat trick.

Admit it, she looks stunning, although personally, I prefer this version, in which she is really cute.

But of course, maybe you prefer her with her usual blank look. She looks here like one of those naive girls in country fairs, just tell her you're into astrology and she'll follow you into your bed. You can have a laugh about her afterwards with your friends at the pub. Except of course you can't: the joke is on you.

Some people don't mind being fake. Take former supermodel Janice Dickinson, for example.

Dickinson admits that she's addicted to having plastic surgery and she's completely happy with her obsession. Or so she told ETonline.com.

Her laundry list of nips and tucks includes having her eyes done, a brow lift, breast augmentation and a tummy tuck. And as though that wasn't enough, she also has undergone collagen and Botox treatments.

Dickinson has already written one book, "No Lifeguard on Duty," which chronicles her alleged affairs with stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty. She told "Entertainment Tonight" that she'll recount her pursuit of being flawless in a book titled "Everything About Me Is Fake, Now I'm Perfect."
