A freaked-out friend just told me about the latest Radar magazine cover:
Scroll all the way down to see the front cover of this issue, which
features a photoshopped nude tableau of presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani, Barack Obama, and Hilary Rodham Clinton; the full shot on the fold-out cover includes Mitt Romney (in old-style men’s underwear) seated on a stool.
Radar has revised this earlier Vanity Fair cover:

Click on the “launch” button under the photo to see the full shot. The scoop on
the Vanity Fair cover was that Rachel McAdams backed out of the
shoot when she learned it was nude, and so designer (and guest
art director of the issue) Tom Ford stepped in…
I’m thinking these texts would make for some fascinating
conversations about gender, race, sexuality, and power….as you’ll
see!
