Here's the April cover for GQ and all I could think was, "Damn! You can practically see Adriana Lima's va-jay-jay?" And in the video of the shooting of this cover, you can see even more of Adriana in the buff on some beach with her leaf and a loin cloth. I also thought it even more suggestive that the line next to Adriana's head is "Turn over a new leaf." Well, if girlfriend turns that leaf literally we'll get an eyeful.
Now granted this is GQ's sex & love issue, but can you see how different a men's fashion magazine and a woman's magazine do the covers of their sex & love issues. When can we see a Glamour or Vogue sex & love issue with a provocative looking David Beckham or Gerard Butler? Where's the equal opportunity? Thinking off hand, when is the last time we saw any guy clothed or not on the cover of a woman's magazine? Anyone know?
And I'm sorry, Adriana just looks like an objectified sex object which I suppose is what GQ wanted or thinks that their audience wants. *ugh!* Stuff like this concerns me because GQ is a mainstream magazine and it is displayed on racks where young kids can see it. Again, how do you answer a 6-year-old who innocently asks, "Why is that lady naked?" As well, teenage girls see this and start to think that they need to look and act like this in order to be desired by men. It's an impossible standard. And teenage boys and young men see this, and think that this is the kind of girl they need to have in order to be cool.
The cover could have been more tastefully done yet still be sexy, had she at least had a bikini bottom on or some slinky summer dress. Am I the only one who thinks this? I'd especially like to know what the guys think of this cover. Is it hot or too much?
