As we saw yesterday, Elisabetta Canalis is partying and “working” in the South of France. She showed up on a yacht in Cannes and she was happy to be pap’d in various stages of sunbathing. Now we know a little bit more about her trip – the yacht she’s on is Robert Cavalli, the designer who adores George Clooney enough to give Clooney’s girlfriend a gig as a “model”. And today Eli did some “modeling” aboard the yacht in this interesting red thing. She’s actually posing for photos, but I’m struggling to know what to call this. Is this a “photo shoot”? Is it for an ad campaign? Or does Eli just get paid to show up in a yacht, put on what appears to some kind of “harem ensemble” and just pose for whoever wants to take her picture?

Before you judge me for my confusion, I should note that Elisabetta also seemed to “pose” for photos before she put on the presumably Cavalli harem outfit. She was “pap’d” (if you want to call it that) in various stages as she prepared for her “modeling gig”…? It’s all so bizarre. I feel like the Cannes Film Festival is where the traditional rules of “jobs” and “gigs” and “modeling” don’t apply. So I have no idea what’s going on. All I know is that it pays to be George Clooney’s girlfriend, right?

You can additional photos of Eli in various stages of undress here. She does have a stunning body. But the whole deal – the body, the face, the attitude, the Adam’s apple – just seems very drag queen to me. I know, I know. She’s what I would call a “handsome” woman from some angles, but most of the time she just looks like a pretty drag queen.
