tres jolie

Now that I've just finished "Learning to Fly" [by Jonathan Van Meter, photographed by Mario Testino] in the March issue of VOGUE, my heart swells and I'm inspired by Angelina Jolie to do my part to change the world. The article about this self-proclaimed punk-at-heart actress is nothing short of wonderful, and accurately depicts Ms. Jolie as a model for all women. Finally, an actress who doesn't give in to the ideals of Hollywood. Isn't it a little ironic that someone who's been under such scrutiny for being unconventional is doing more than most of her peers to make a difference on this planet? If only more people were as bold as she and lived as freely and honestly, it would be a much better place.

It's instinctive for me to purchase every magazine that has Angelina Jolie gracing its cover. Why? It's simple: She is the epitome of what a Hollywood actress should be. To say that her looks are breathtaking would simply not do her justice and, frankly, be redundant. Your photographs of this stunner were exquisite, and the article captured her coy presence. I commend you on your excellent work.
