This humble weblog has sided for Jessica Miller in the upcoming battle of the CK girls. But Natalia Vodianova's new ed for Vogue Italia, shot by Steven Meisel, has me wondering why can't we have them both.

While the first CK ad featuring Natalia is scheduled for the February issue of major US mags, her ed for Vogue Italia is not going to appear in the US anytime soon.

The feature, called "Night for Day", runs on twelve pages. The photos are b/w, grainy, almost blown-up. The "arty" effect is intended to soften a bit the crudeness of the poses. Although we've seen a lot of sexy eds from Natalia this year, it is safe to declare this one her boldest ever.

This is not to say it is a good editorial. In fact, Natalia looks quite ridiculous posing as a hot vamp in some of the pics, but in the others there's an interesting tension between her baby face and her staged sex plays.

I've scanned the best pics, here you go:

---> Natalia1 - topless, legs widely opened, heavily smoking, you can say it's a statement. Let's call it the Jessica-eat-your-heart-out picture.

---> Natalia2 - that's probably the best pic of the feature. I won't comment on it, although I could go on and on. (Fixed!)

----> Natalia3 - Ready for a shock? Sweet little Natalia goes maso.

---> Natalia4 - Just to remind you how innocent she is, so your mind will really blow up when flipping back to the previous page.

---> Natalia5 - Natalia rolling a joint, a bit like your own girlfriend really, only she's not, she's a million-bucks-a-year supermodel.

---> Natalia6 - The Femme-Enfant take. I don't like it, but hey, it's a free country.

---> Natalia7 - this was a very small pic, printed on an otherwise empty black page. I scanned it at 400dpi, so it's even more blurry than the others, but it was worth the time. I like the pose a lot, pity about the makeup.

---> Natalia8 - What, your girlfriend does not peel a grapefruit wearing expensive lingerie and a suggestive look?

--->Natalia9 - At last, a classic nude.

---> Natalia10 - Closing pic of the feature, call it the Remember-me-in-your-dreams photo.
