Mischa Barton Implores You To Party On Past The Dead-Eyed Pain
Posted by Seth at 3:25 AM on August 1, 2008
We'd like, if we may, to squeeze one more magazine cover into our When Glossies Attack gallery of unjustly uglified celebrity covergirls—inspired, of course, by a shot of Gossip Girl's Blake Lively taken, apparently, moments after a freak steamroller accident. The Fug Girls point us to this Marie Claire cover, featuring none other than fashion-awkward DUI-haver, Mischa Barton. How she succeeded in landing this cover, with nothing much more to promote than a movie inspired by and starring a faux-lesbian Soviet pop group, is certainly a topic for discussion. However, we'd like to focus for a moment on the photo itself:
Not even a smattering of fun gold stars and marching orders to "PARTY ON!" in festive script can remove the dead-eyed, "Welcome to your new Realdoll" stink from this particularly soul-sucking soirée. It kind of makes us want to rough-up a chaise lounge.

She looks like she's passing a kidney stone. How does she keep getting work?

Well, since a wax bust is about as interesting/talented as Mischa Barton, perhaps the photo is quite fitting.

The photog made the mistake of actually telling her it was for Marie Claire, before the session began.

That's primo I'm-so-hungry-face. I've seen the same look on refugee orphans. But nobody gives an eff about them. Mischa Barton is waaaaay more important.

To me, Mischa Barton is like an ancient god embodying two contradictory and diametrically opposed aspects, namely her face and her ass.

This is hilarious! She's a split second from sobbing. How in the hell did this cover get picked??

Who is Mischa Barton and why do I care about this?

I believe they captured this shot right after forcing her to watch a screening of "You and I" aka the TaTu story.

I'm not convinced that's Mischa at all. She looks more like a computerized merging of an Olsen twin with Peggy Lipton in her Mod Squad days.

This photo was actually supposed to go on the cover of Rehab magazine.

Isn't this chick on the fast train to nowheresville already? What has she done lately?
In any case, terrible cover--this seems to be a trend lately--editors conning stars on to their covers, only to humiliate them when it's published (like SJP, Gwyneth--whoever). Bring back the top models--that's what they were made for!!!!

I'm starting to think there is a conspiracy among fashion photogs and the magazine art directors who love them.
