so, the cover of this month's us glamour...

___Can I just gush about how much I adore this months Glamour cover? So much that I ordered a year's subscription after not buying this magazine for a few years. And it's not because they feature a "plus size" model for like the first time ever, though that definitely caught my eye.
___It's that they all look so beautiful and happy! I mean Crystal Renn is gorgeous now--- way more beautiful than her anorexia days--- but I never knew how radiant she looked when she smiled and laughed. All the pictures I've seen of her are usually of her pouting or looking very serious, but this one is stunning (Maybe it's because I'm in one of those smiling, happy moods?).
___Can you just imagine how much fun doing this cover must have been? They look like they were joking and goofing around the whole time. Paid to laugh? What? Bravo, Glamour, for making famously beautiful models look even more beautiful. A smile really does liven up the face.
What are your thoughts of the cover?

  2. Finally, healthy women! I agree that a smiley model always emits more radiance and beauty than moody, sultry shots. Wish I lived in the US so I could order this mag!

  11. Crystal is gorge. But why does she always have to be naked or in a bikini? It's great magazines are using more 'plus size' girls but I find it a little annoying how it's always like 'look at their flesh' as if it's so shocking.

    But you're right, the shoot looks like a lot of fun! I never pick up US Glamour, maybe I should.

  15. Yay, happy models! But even plus size models are no where near "average" size.
