Allure April 2010 : Carrie Underwood by Carter Smith

[tigerrouge]

Not being American, this is the most boring Allure cover I've seen for some time; I'm not that acquainted with her, and that shot wouldn't persuade me that I'm missing out. If there's two decent editorials, I'll look past it, but if the issue is as thin as recent ones have been, then I'm sadly going to have to think twice.

She looks way better on the September 2008 cover.

Typical US cover, boring!

That cover could be Hilary Duff, Molly Sims, J-lo...etc. Carrie is already bland. Why not try to make her stand out on the cover instead of blend into a mish-mash of other celebrities?

Couldn't agree more. After all, Allure is a beauty magazine, so they should try to beautify their cover stars.

Heidi Klum has an editorial. Source popsugar.com

Heidi Klum wasn't hiding much in the April issue of Allure. If you thought Gisele's shoot was daring, Heidi put on her swimsuit, shaving cream, or pretty much nothing to show off her post-baby body for the magazine. She's bounced right back after she and Seal welcomed their daughter Lou back in October, and up next they're prepping for their latest vow renewal ceremony. Heidi opened up about how she keeps her skin and body in great shape, saying:

• On staying out of the sun: "I learned not to go in the sun early on in my career. A tan lasts for a week or two before it fades, and the sun is so damaging—it's not worth it. I put sunscreen on my kids every day before school and before they play outside. They know the routine."
• On her love of milk: "You have to think about your whole body when you think about aging. In general, you have to be strong—and that starts with nutrition. I have a glass of milk with dinner every night. When I'm pregnant, I drink a liter of whole milk a day—my trainer would say that's crazy, but it works for me."
• On avoiding stretch marks: "I didn't get stretch marks during my pregnancies, and I wasn't even moisturizing myself like a maniac."
• On having fun with her kids: "I'm quite energetic, and I also have sweet children who don't care that I just had another kid. They want to be into things and be loved and go in Ma's bed when they get up early in the morning. So I'm always juggling the family and life with my husband."

I rather liked the first shot until my mind interpreted that shape on her leg as a giant spider.

It looks like one. I hope it's not a tattoo.
