Lara Stone est ma Drogue

Lara Stone in Playboy is almost too much. The Dutch model has this particular quality—a face that reads as both completely attainable and somehow untouchable, helped along by that gap in her teeth and the way she always seems faintly amused by whatever’s in front of her. She is not, by conventional casting logic, the model who ends up on the cover of things. She’s too interesting-looking. Too specific. And that specificity is exactly what makes her impossible to shake. She’s been my type since the moment I first saw her, and the Playboy shoot just confirmed what I already knew.
