- <p> What's wrong with this picture? Plenty, according to
- seven-eighths of the women in it. Not that high-fashion model
- in the middle, Linda Evangelista, but the Sicilian seniors
- arranged about her on a billboard overlooking Times Square.
- Though the Kenar clothing ad memorializes AIDS victims
- (represented by the empty chair), Evangelista's angry co-models
- say the good deed was built on bad faith. The women of the
- hillside village of Savoca say they were paid about $15 each to
- pose with Evangelista (said to earn up to $25,000 a day), but
- thought the photo would only battle a disease, not promote a
- fashion label as well. The Savoca Seven are preparing a very
- American response: a lawsuit.
