MorphWorld: Calvin Klein's new lingerie model into Paris Hilton

The model pictured above, who has recently begun appearing in her Calvin Klein skivvies in near-full-page ads in the New York Times, looks so much like Paris Hilton (below) that I'm still not certain it isn't her.

But why would the über-it-girl sell herself to Calvin Klein for a few pieces of silver?

I mean, she's still trying to shake off the vestiges of her home movie which, it must be admitted even by Ms. Hilton, elevated her above the teeming masses of wanna-bes into true superstardom.

She's already the Moschino girl, besides a zillion other things she's endorsing: what does she need with Calvin Klein?

But it sure does look like her.

I'll tell you what: the model in the ad could make far more money as a Paris lookalike than she's pulling down now — and she wouldn't have to get undressed to do so.

Believe it or not, a guy who remarkably resembles Bill Clinton grossed over a million dollars a year going to events and meetings while Clinton was president.

I mean, he made more than Clinton did during those years.

Bet the impersonator was rooting really, really hard for Bill back on election night in November, 1995.

On another subject entirely, I am delighted to report that the New York Times via PC is now a reality for Mac users like myself.

It isn't the Times website but, rather, the actual paper, ads and all, as it appears on the newstand in Manhattan.

Ever since the Times began offering this version for PC a couple years ago I've wished I could try it and then, a couple weeks ago, I saw an ad for the PC version that said, at the end, "For PC and Mac OS X."

I signed up in a New York [Times] minute.

The website also lets you subscribe to many other publications in digital format.

Now, I won't say it's perfect, at least for me on my iMac G4 17" flatscreen, but it is usable.

The scrolling and navigation functions are a bit clunky and intrusive but hey, as Samuel Johnson said of the dog that walked, albeit clumsily, on its two hind legs, "The wonder is not that it walks awkwardly, but that it does so at all."

And, best of all, as I learned to my delight just now, you can find an ad you want to refer to, do some stuff, and use the material you like in your blog or whatever.

The Paris doppelgänger appears on page A9 (below)

of today's paper.

What you see is what I see.

WYSIWIS.

Not WYSIWYG, but close.
