Christy Turlington: Rainbow Collection

Christy Turlington: Rainbow Collection




Christy Turlington is one of the most well known models in the world. She had worked for years for Calvin Klein. She had stared in numerous underwear commercials for the company over the years. She was used to showing some skin. She had done all sorts of fashion shoots. She was up for most things when it came to modelling. Most of the world had already seen her next to naked many times. She was a pro and would take most situations in stride. Christy was hired to do another Calvin Klein ad. She did not think anything of it. It was for a new line of underwear that they were coming out with called the rainbow collection. It was a design of underwear that appeared to have splodges of paint or messy colour on them. They were brilliant looking underwear. Christy did not really bother asking what the ad would entail. Modelling was nothing to complicated. It was mainly posing.



She arrived at the modelling studio in Manhattan. She was given a bra and a pair of panties to wear. She was a little surprised because they were nothing at all like what she had been told she was going to be advertising. They were plain black. They were tight fitting with no waist bands at all. She got undressed and put the underwear on, wearing nothing else except a pair of high heels. She went out onto the sound stage. It was then explained to her what the concept of the commercial was going to be. Basically, she was going to wear the black underwear and say some lines, then buckets of brightly coloured gunge would be thrown at her. It was sort of meant to apply that this is how the underwear ended up with all of these colours. It was a pretty avant-garde concept and a top photographer was take the pictures. It seemed quite cutting edge. She did not really have any problem with this.



All the cameras were in place. The footage would be used for tv commercials and for print ads. She took direction and did as she was asked. She walked into the all black and white set. She wore only her underwear. The underwear did not leave much to the imagination. Every curve and muscle in Christy’s body could be seen. The shadows projected by the lighting emphasized every bit of her body. She started to read her lines. “Do you ever get sick of plain underwear. I do. Sometimes I get so bored with it, that I feel like throwing it away,” Christy said,” Well Calvin Klein is changing all that,” she said in a sensual voice, staring lustily into the camera. She posed as she walked along. The camera followed the movements of her sexy, scantily clad body as she moved. “The rainbow collection,” she enthused.



With that, a bucket of light pink gunge was hurled through the air. The gunge plopped onto Christy’s underwear clad body and all over the set. The side of her long, flat, tanned stomach was swathed in gunge. Part of her breasts and half of her underwear and her upper thigh were covered in gunge splotched. Some splattered upward, splattering her face. She did not allow it to effect her. She barely budged from the spot. Before she could even react a second bucket, this time containing dark purple gunge was thrown her way. The gunge flew through the air and splattered all over her bare legs. Her thighs and knees were drenching in gunge. The gunge poured down her calves. Her panties were also splattered in the gunge.



Christy turned her head to the camera and raised her eyebrow. She placed her hands upon her hips. That is when a wave of orange gunge flew through the air, finding it destination on Christy’s shoulders, over her breasts, on her neck and right across her face. She still refused to break character. She kept the serious, sexy expression on her face, covered in orange gunge though it may have been. She only raised her eyes slightly.



She then got into position for another shot. This time she was stood with her back to the camera. She placed her hand on her shoulder and turned her head slightly so her face was visible to the camera. “The Rainbow Collection by Calvin Klein,” she said seductively. A huge bit of dark blue gunge then flew through the air. It landed on Christy’s back. It splattered all over her back and against her backside. The back over her underwear were soaked in gunge. The gunge trickled down her back and then down the backs of her legs. Her bra strap was also covered in gunge. She could feel the gunge dripping over every crevice and muscle in her body. She arched her back and sighed.



Next a huge amount of white gunge was flung through the air, the majority of it hit Christy right on her backside and the backs of her legs. She bent her knees slightly as the gunge hut her. Gunge poured down the backs of her thighs and down her calves. She wiggled her legs about slightly, flexing the muscles in her body. The gunge dripped down her body. At this point her body was covered in a rainbow of multicoloured gunge. The set was splashed with gunge in all directions.



Next she was moved into position, laying on her side. She had one knee bent and her arm was draped over her leg. She then read out another line. “Put some colour in your life with the new rainbow collection by Calvin Klein,” she said suggestively. She fluttered her eyelashes and looked up. When she looked up a tidal wave of light blue gunge poured down from the ceiling onto her sexy, underwear clad stretched out body. The gunge fell from the sky like a waterfall. It splashed and poured down on her. The camera recording until it came to a stop. Christy was now splattered in a rainbow of gunge. She showed no sort of expression other than her steely cool sexiness.



Next Christy sat with her legs wrapped together, in a sort of squatting position. “Black and white are so boring. Ever dream of splashing out in vivid colour?,” she asked. She put her first to her chin and stared into the camera. At that point a huge blast of green gunge came pouring down on her from above. It totally engulfed her, splashing in all directions. The torrent of gunge hit her perfectly head on, pouring straight down on her from above. It looked as though she had been on You Can’t do that on television, but in her underwear. Her thin, smooth, muscular body dripping with cold, wet, lumpy gunge.



For the final shot, the camera started off from her messy bare toes. It panned up her body slowly, up her feet and ankles and then up her calves and thighs. It paused for a second when it reached her panties. The camera then moved up her long languid stomach and up her to her bra. The details of the brightly coloured gunge on her skin and dark underwear was emphasized. The camera then panned up her neck and then to her head. Her whole face filled the screen. Her face dripping in gunge of every colour. She turned to the camera again. “Calvin Klein or nothing at all,” she said in a velvety soft sexy voice. She licked her lips and provocatively raised an eyebrow to the camera. The Calvin Klein logo appearing now under her.



The ads went out within a few weeks. They were slightly controversial and quite popular during their run. Christy’s face and body were shown in ads all over the world covered in brightly coloured sloppy gunge. She appeared on dozens of television chat shows talking about the ads. Over and over again, she stated that they were no big deal and just another’s day work. Although, she did not exactly mind being in the ads. She told everyone that she found it to be quite an enjoyable experience and had no regrets regarding the shoot. After all, she had appeared naked in photographs in the past, and had never had any issues with that. Overall, it would have to be said that the campaign was a complete success. The amount of underwear shifted was quite substantial. Everyone involved was very pleased by the results.
