Yeah, I just always thought there was more going on up there than that. How many millions does one need before they feel comfortable enough to not compromise their artistic integrity? Even if they have THREE kids? (My grandparents raised 7 on one one-hundredth of his salary, but whatever...)

Like I said, if he's donating the cash, more power to him. Someone was going to get their pictures taken by that guy.

If he isn't, here's some cyber-poo for his face:

ffffbbbbbfpppppffffbbbbtttttt!

I know I sound like a cliche with the "selling out" baloney, but I really do think there is something to it. He's basically saying this:

"My image, all the things I'm about and stand for, is worth this many dollars. If you can give me this many dollars, I will give you my image, which is a representation of who I am and all my thoughts and feelings and everything. Buy me. I'm for sale."

It's one thing if you're just getting started in "the biz," you need to do some commercials or modeling or whatever to jumpstart your career so you can have access to projects that actually mean something. But he's waaaay past that stage. He could make a very comfortable living ONLY doing projects that he feels passionate about, but he chooses not to. That, like every other decision we make, says something about him. Something I didn't expect. Who knows, maybe he feels really passionate about these rich people clothes.

/rant.

Didn't you read this part..

"

Cornell's deal included a "financial element," says Stephen Niedzwiecki, creative director with Yard. But, he adds, the Varvatos brand "doesn't have massive budgets to pay talent." Said another way, in lieu of a high fee, Cornell's cool quotient may be ratcheted up a notch or two. "

~~~~ Chris Cornell used to be cool!! IMO

BTW
Vicky, Chris's wife comes from a very, very rich Greek family. He doesn't not need money. Her brother owns a nightclub in Paris and they come from old money.
I think he must have thought the modelling thing was a good idea, but it just doesn't suit him. He may be a changed person and more evolved but, still you can do things that you later regret. This may be one of them.
