Steven Klein Delivers Sexy Drama In Equinox 'Commit To Something' 2016 Campaign

Steven Klein delivers a knockout punch with his new Equinox Fitness Clubs campaign 'Commit to Something'. The stellar photographer shares his perspective on the campaign and his provocative work with W Magazine.

Equinox came up with the stories and the concept that commitment needn't always be virtuous. Klein says this it's rare to see ad briefs this exciting in today media world.  The photographer comments for the first time on his controversial 'Interview' cover, featuring Kylie Jenner in a wheelchair.

Do you feel it was misunderstood?
People are always going to misunderstand things. It’s human nature. That I accept. It comes with the territory of doing anything of value. In regards to the pictures of Kylie, they are based on pictures I did with Tom Ford a long time ago in W [from the November 2005 issue], where we used very humanlike dolls. Kylie and I discussed treating her like a doll. What happened when I shot them for W with Tom was that the dolls were too heavy to carry, so I had to put them in a wheelchair to get them around.

I often revisit pictures I’ve done before. Unfortunately, people see things in a personal way, whereas I see things visually. To me, it was just playing with this idea of the pseudo-living doll, the different positions and setups I could do with her. When you do things for magazines, you need to call attention to it somehow so people pay attention to what you’re saying visually, but I never do things for shock value. But what’s interesting is that since then I’ve received a lot of pictures from girls who are in wheelchairs who’ve done their own renditions of the pictures, in a positive way. So maybe for a girl who is in a wheelchair, she might say, ‘Look how beautiful she looks. How great is it that a girl in a wheelchair looks sexy and cool.’ So I always look at the positive aspect of things. You can find negativity in anything. What I try to avoid at all costs are mundane, boring things.

Fact vs Fiction: TV Distorts the Reality Of Abortion Health Care, Making It A Luxury For White Women

Fact vs Fiction: TV Distorts the Reality Of Abortion Health Care, Making It A Luxury For White Women

Self-Centered White Women, AKA Feminists

While the study researcher Gretchen Sisson didn't specifically link 'feminism' to the abortion study narrative, she did tell NPR that TV helps "build an interesting social myth, which is that women who get abortions aren't mothers and they don't want to be mothers." The facts of abortion on a wide scale are that "the majority of women getting abortions are already parenting, and the vast majority intend to parent during their lives."

Television characters seeking abortions are depicted as doing no because having a child would interfere with educational or career plans, fueling the mythology of the fabricated, feminist first mentality of women who embrace women's rights and self-actualization.

"Taken together, this pattern of reasons can contribute to the construction of abortion as a self-focused decision, and to the belief that abortions are 'wanted' because of personal desires rather than 'needed' because of circumstances such as poverty," the researchers say in their report on TV depictions." Sisson explains.

In a distortion of facts, about 10% of TV characters die from their abortions, when the real death rate is 0.0015 percent -- or nothing. Republicans and the abortions rights movement has used the ruse of protecting women's health to justify the extreme medical safety requirements placed on abortion facilities in the US.

Karlie's Making Kookies & Not Koding As SpaceX Completes Historic Rocket Landing

Karlie Kloss Is Venus Bound In Maciek Kobielski SpaceX Snaps For WSJ Magazine December 2015 AOC Fashion & Style

After posing for WSJ's December feature on SpaceX and our analysis of the space race competition between founder Elon Musk (think Tesla Motors) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon), we thought Karlie might be cheering on her team's mega success space flight. No go. The closest Karlie got to hot flames in recent posts was a pic of her Kooking in the Kommissary at Momofuku Milk Bar. 

The South African-born Canadian-American business magnate, engineer, inventor and investor Elon Musk had a really big show yesterday when SpaceX successfully launched a rocket into space and brought the booster back to earth. Being able to recycle and reuse boosters -- which can easily cost $10 million a pop -- is key to making space travel affordable for the rich. 

When we wrote about SpaceX and Karlie in November, Bezos' Blue Origin had its own space rocket success story going on, also focused on reusability. . 

Take a look at yesterday's outstanding Space X launch and return. Read in-depth at WSJ: Elon Musk's SpaceX Completes Historic Rocket Landing

With this mission, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket will deliver 11 satellites to low-Earth orbit for ORBCOMM, a leading global provider of Machine-to-Machine communication and Internet of Things solutions. The ORBCOMM launch is targeted for an evening launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.
