Sigourney's a Fan... of What?

Lazy Saturday, flipping through the NYT Style magazine... came across this photo of Ms. Weaver declaring her fandom.


But of what? The ad, as it turns out, is for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel... but unless, they've built a life size replica of the Reading Room of the New York Public Library in one of their lux properties (perhaps in some Charlie Kaufman Synecdoche New York-esque momentary corporate insanity?) she's not really expressing her love of the Mandarin in this photo.

If you're wondering why I'm posting a picture of a confusing hotel ad that's actually a library portrait, you've stumbled on the wrong blog. The question and the answer is Sigourney Weaver.

Maybe Sig Weavey's the personification of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel's fan logo? She is a large and expansive talent after all.

She's so towering. I honestly feel that if I came across her in real life, I would be physically intimidated. In the most glorious way possible.

Huge stars have been doing ads for years, but mostly in Asia, where they wont be seen by americans. But the global economy changed all that. now they are starting to do ads for us too.

As far as the Library/hotel thing, in Sigourney's defense....she just showed up for the shoot and collected her paycheck. I'm sure she's not a "fan" and could care less.

for $100,000 i would say I'm a fan too.

A picture of her with an Oscar in her hands.

You're good with photoshop, and we’ll all pretend like it really happened.

Now that would make my heart pumping.
