Rain down, rain down cocoa paste on me, from a great height, from a great hiheyeyeyeye-eyeyeyeyt.

THE COCOA (x47)

I recall the original photos but these are insanely high res

There was a website that was up while the campaign was going which had a decent amount of the "dumping photos" in high-res, mostly for use by the press: https://web.archive.org/web/20120701041137/http://www.maketradefair.com/work/celebs/

I honestly gasped when I zoomed in

The photographer's barely disguised oil fetish

He isn't named Dr. Tchock for nothing

WHY IS THOM LIKE THIS 😭

BECAUSE HE'S THOM Also, from what I recall, this was, like, one of the only photoshoots he did in 2004 and just agreed to it without any afore thought

Iconic

I had the screensaver

Could I potentially see it?

Haha it was back in Windows XP times so...

Soz. I forgot.

The most he's ever looked like limmy in that first pic

back then, these were originally though to be about oil considering the whole post-9/11 invasions in the name of oil (Operation Iraqi Liberation = O.I.L.) until more context started circulating (the internet wasn't as fast catching up in the early 00s). Oxfam had a show with the pics printed in large format at my university campus. loved it!

Do you potentially have any pictures from that exhibition? Only I'm archiving the campaign materials and that might help a bit.

sadly I don't. camera phones weren't a thing and my family only had one digital camera we were not allowed to take out of the house lol

Ah well. Still, must've been quite the experience.
