Jessica Alba has appeared in a raunchy bondage-themed advertising campaign.
The ‘Sin City’ actress stars in the dramatic photographic campaign for voter
group Declare Yourself – which encourages young people to register to vote
in the upcoming US Presidential election – and is seen topless, with black
tape across her mouth and chest and heavy eye make-up.
The pictures include the tag ‘Only You Can Silence Yourself’, and Jessica,
27, claims they “really resonate” with the issue of voter registration.
She said: “If you don't register and vote and make a difference, and
hopefully change the bad things that are happening in our country, you are
essentially just binding and muzzling yourself.
“We sign up for MySpace pages and Facebook pages, and download music off the
internet. The least people can do is register to vote online, actually
making a difference in their world, not just making their lives a little bit
cooler.”
Photographer Marc Liddel shot the campaign, and despite the racy nature of
the pictures Jessica insists she was not embarrassed.
She said: “It didn't freak me out at all. What I like about Marc's work is
that he tells a story and brings real emotion to his pictures.”
