Proving once again that any youngish woman can get into hot-bod shape after having a kid if she sets her mind to it, Maggie Gyllenhaal is the new visual spokesperson for a just-launched promotional campaign Agent Provocateur, the London-based lingerie firm. It's a semi-legit item (MCN is running it), but the things this column will do to attract readers. The first TIFF press screening starts 85 minutes from now...

Maggie is a surprising choice for an Agent Provocateur girl. But from a marketing PoV, I guess her oddball intellect with vague S&M undertones is more accessible to the women they target, as opposed to Kate Moss' brand of sultry glamour who was there to tempt male gift-purchasers.
I guess AP hired Maggie on the basis of Secretary. And her superb post-pregnancy boobage. The AP ad I like the best is of her in the bathrub - the perfect mix of trashiness and fun:
http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photos.php?yr=2007&mon=09&evt=gyllenhaal-lingerie&pic=maggie-gyllenhaal-lingerie-03.jpg
I don't like the other pictures as much. Maggie is eyecatching and sexy and charismatic on screen, but does not do still portraiture quite as well - she often reminds me of a bunny. She's like the female Daniel Craig, who is the hottest thing ever when in motion, but has a tad too much of the Vladimir Putin about him in photos.

Hah -- I like how showing one hot thin post-pregnancy woman is "proof". She might even have lipo to get rid of the baby fat.
Though I do admit, that's the best I've EVER seen Maggie.

Makeup, cleavage, and lingerie will do wonders for most any woman. Maggie is no better or worse than my last three girlfriends. And maybe that's why some of you out there are all gaga for her. Because by her "looks", she seems "attainable."
Nice pics nonetheless.

She's ugly. She was always ugly. She's never had a job in her life. She probably has a personal trainer and a cook and a nanny to watch her kid while she works out with a 500-dollar-an-hour personal trainer. All you need to lose weight is will and time. She has the latter in spades, so I guess we should congratulate her for possessing the will. Big fucking deal. I'd rather look at Zooey Deschanel in sweats and a tee. Hell, I'd rather look at Ellen Barkin in this horribe Fredericks of Hollywood ensemble than Maggie. Or Sofia Coppola. I'd like to see how Sofia Coppola looks like after having her kid. I bet she looks normal. You know, it's okay to have gained some weight while preggers. It's normal. You don't have to snap back so quick. And besides, it's not about you, it's about the kid. It's as if all these Hollywood Moms are saying, Look, I didn't let that baby destroy my body, I'm still hot. Who cares? Go be a mother. Your kid could care less what you look like. And I seriously doubt whether or not Peter Sarsgaard cares what Maggie looks like since most of the time he likes to look at big giant dicks. Oh, you think I'm making that up? Okay.

To me, at least in still photos, her face always looks like somebody's photo album picture of their great aunt Edna that lived in Kansas around 1908. The sepia-toned one with the woman standing outside between a suitcase and a horse.

You're off by about 25 years, but she does look very much like photos of my late grandmother from the period-- same Irish snub nose and so on. It's a bit of a Claudette Colbert look, which is pretty uncommon now.

Also, I like to think Jeff was being sarcastic with that line about how any mom could lose that weight, pronto.
It may be hoping against hope, that my five or six years reading his stuff going back to Reel.com or wherever, wasn't a total waste of my time. But I really like to think that was deadpan sarcasm....

The other kids hurt me when I was young. Every time I tried to say something they would tell me to be quiet. Or they would laugh, even when I wasn't trying to be funny. The boys pushed me to the ground and made me cry. The girls threw the soil from their tiny potted plants at me and made me cry. A man in a green Nova picked me up when I was waiting to cross Beverly Glen. He said I'm going to take you home, you're too young to cross the street by yourself, get in the car, and I did, even though I knew I shouldn't. The Man did not take me home, at least not right away. We spent the day at Castle Park. He let me beat him at miniature golf. I played Zaxxon with his quarters. He took me to Dr Hoggly Woggly's Tyler Texas BBQ. When I got home my mom asked me where I was and when I told her she took off my pants and underwear and smacked me ass. I was grounded. She locked me in my room. I opened my closet door and pissed into my saddle shoes. She called me father. He made an appointment with a child shrink, who made me take an IQ test. My score was 101. I had to repeat the first grade.

Well, it's a sexy photo, but I don't find her sexy in general. I wouldn't call her ugly or unattractive, hell, she usually looks pretty good. But she's never been "sexy" and this highly choreographed photo won't change my opinion. I do like how Jeff referred to her as a "visual spokesperson" for the brand, though.

Even without the turban, she does look a little like Bugs Bunny when he's feeling girlishly sexy. Where's the carrot?
Both she and Bugs slip on the turban when they're in the mood to get in touch with their inner Gloria Swansons.

Oh please. She had a baby 11 months ago. This is hardly a "dump the baby with a nanny while you have lipo" snap back quick story. I think Maggie's cool and the photos are great. I would call her sexy in an S&M way, which I find a lot more intriguing than Jessica Alba working it hard in a bathing suit.

Although it is not brand name,wholesale lingerie can be very sexy. Most companies offer a variety of lingerie including bridal lingerie, chemise, thongs, bras, garters, corsets, panties, and others. Wholesale lingerie companies generally provide products for resale businesses. Some companies will not sell to you unless you give them proof that you have a business.
