Love Magazine Claims Naked Models Show Variety Of Women’s Shapes
February 2, 2010 3 Comments
Models may be stunning but to claim they show that “perfection…varies” is ridiculous.
This is what Love Magazine is claiming to do with naked supermodels (such as Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss) on their next cover.
“We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements.”
“The point is that ‘perfection’ is not fixed, timeless or transcendent. It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show.”
Perfection may vary from one person to another, but my idea of variety would something more like the Dove ads showing freckled, wrinkled, round, and skinny people. These models may have different bra sizes but they do not show the variety of women’s shapes and sizes.
They are stunning pictures (see them all here), but to think that this is what real women look like must be the result of too many years working in fashion, where the average size is about zero; beautiful, but not much variety at all.
I don’t see any variety at all. Aside from skin colour, those women all looked pretty much the same.
Clearly just an attempt to boost sales by showing naked women. (Mick)
The only one that I am remotely interested in is Lara Stone, who actually has hips… sort of. Well, for a model, at least.
