Nylon August 2008 : Mischa Barton by Taki Bibelas

[Kimkhuu]

It's not like Nylon is known for great cover casting anyways.

 

[silviegoeswild]

Ugh, why Mischa? Anyone else I would have liked it.

 

[Fabulyss]

Its a nice cover i just dont like the sight of a stomach on the cover.

I agree with the stomach opinion...how much cooler would the cover be if it was just a tight shot from the shoulders above??

 

[VickiB]

I prefer to see Mischa than Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears. But I have to agree about her talent. We see her more as a model than an actress.

The cover is cool.

The only issue I have with Mischa being on the cover is that she's already been on one, fairly recently. Come on, Nylon, surely there's got to be somebody new to feature.

And the denim issue is usually my least favorite.

She's a total has-been.

she really is, and she's such a bad actress... her facial expression on this cover is awful, but the picture as a whole is not that bad, i mean, i thought it would be much worse...

 

[harmonious]

i really like how she's posed.

 

[sedirea]

I dont like this at all, how awkward.

 

[yalil]

Mischa looks good, but she is so over and dated. Looks like somebody there wishes it were 2002 still.

Hello, Nylon, if you've run out of hipsters for next months cover: there are numerous models out there who are recognizable now, Maggie Gyllenhaal has The Dark Knight coming out, Zooey Deschanel just released a record, Amanda Seyfreid also has a movie coming out.

 

[MulletProof]

She's a total has-been. The cover looks really fake on all parts. What next, Tara Reid for September's cover?

my thoughts exactly. I thought she was totally over.

she looks good.. if it wasn't for the MISCHA! part of the cover, I would've entirely succumbed to it. she's a good model.. when anonymous.

Nylon really needs new blood behind their desks IMO.. everything from their music taste, covers, 'icons', fashion sense.. it all seems like decided by people over 40 or kids under 15.. no big difference.. of course there are exceptions but there's generally a poor quality of selectiveness among these crowds. they tend not to discriminate and embrace it all with genuine desperation..

 

[Lilli_Anita]

I don't get it. People loved the cover with Anja, Clemence and Chloe... which was full of colour and had a casting that was relevant and actually made sense. Why revert back to this?

Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't Mischa, who is just...

 

[parisianchloe]

i love everything about this cover.
I wish people could stop dissing Mischa.
She is an amazing actress and you would see that if you have watched anything other than her on the oc. She is beautiful.
I did like the older Mischa a little more, mainly because I love that Californian tanned glow, but i still love her eclectic style.
I think shes just matured since being on the oc plus she has so many indie movies coming out its crazy to say that shes a has been. Mischas mostly been an indie actor apart from the oc.
She is such a nyon girl.

 

[maffam]

unfortunately i've seen a lot her non-oc work, and i can't say the same about her skills, or rather lack there of, as an actress. that said, excepting the midriff the cover isn't bad. bit of a stale choice picking mischa, but it's no surprise.

 

[Nouvelle_Vague]

I'm not a fan of Mischa, but I'm definitely getting this issue!!!

 

[Aby]

The cover is nice, Misha looks good but I'm not a fan and won't buy it.

 

[jewelbox]

Maybe I'm biased, because I love Mischa, but I really like this cover. Something about the styling reminds me a bit of the old Nylon, which I love. Can't wait to get this!

 

[Dali]

I like it

 

[brazilianbaby]

I like it too.

 

[june gloom]

To all the "she's not relevant" comments, she does have a movie coming out in September that supposedly did fairly well at Sundance. However, I think it would have been cooler of Nylon to feature some of the lesser known co-stars, like Zoe Kravitz or Melonie Diaz.

 

[unipine]

it's an eye-catching shot regardless of who she is.
