These mags don't always contain that much great, so a collective thread should be enough, or what do you say?

February 1980 : Bitten Knudsen

Love her, she has the Gia vibe....shame she looks a bit like..err Paris Hilton...from some angles.

You know that Bitten passed away earlier this year? She was just 50. Like everyone else I was shocked to hear it. She died in her sleep.

 

[iluvjeisa]

^That is so incredibly sad to hear. Rest in peace beautiful Bitten.

The Guardian was looking back at sundry magazine covers from 1984, back when Boy George was beautiful enough to be a Cosmo girl... (image source - guardian.co.uk)

He's my favorite person. He will always be beautiful to me. He is one of the kindest, funniest and most generous people I have the pleasure of knowing. He is amazing. I am rooting for him to get over a lot of his demons and recover. He is strong, he will.

I would never of said that was Boy George

 

[tigerrouge]

He was a good-looking girl in his time... it's no wonder people went mad about the Boy.

People don't know him beyond the public image. He can be bitchy but it's his guard. He has an amazing heart, he is very generous and kind.

The Daily Mail ran an article about Helen Gurley Brown, which included some tiny cover shots of Paula Yates and Jerry Hall (image source - dailymail.co.uk)

How gorgeous, and what great choices they made. I don't think I've ever seen Cindy Crawford quite that beautiful before. And Boy George.....of course. They should get special kudos for that. Also Elizabeth Taylor at that age, looking like a sex pot. Some good people were working at British Cosmo between 1975 and 1985.
