^^^^Yeah for a September cover I'm not sure either, but as a cover I absoluetly love it. I love the idea of the white picket fence and the 'sweetness and light' vibe, which somehow with blazing red hair and va-va-voom body, Christina still manages to convey. That cover would stop me in my tracks and not many do nowadays.
I think I understand what you saying Meg, she can look a little harsher in photos......at least compared to how she appears on Mad Men, but she still maintains a lovely softness and vulnerability about her, even though she is blatantly very sexy.
I find that when she is in a scene on the show I am not watching anyone else, and her little girl voice also adds to the charm.
