His father sent him these pictures and told him that the owner of the dog came home to find that a fawn was laying on his couch next to his dog. They figure that the fawn followed the dog into the house through the doggy door and just made himself at home by getting up on the couch to take a nap with the dog.

Photographer Nick Knight whips up a real herpetology-inspired visual treat for the provocatively-envisioned Alexander McQueen S/S 2010 ad campaign, featuring a snakeskin-camouflaged Raquel Zimmermann under a heap of slithering serpents. By the looks of them, they seem to be boa constrictors with a reticulated python or two tossed in for good measure. Whatever the case, the Brazilian supermodel is a good sport, as many women would run away screaming from the deluge of icky reptiles.
