Andres on the cover of GQ Spain!!! :buzz: This is incredible, male models get covers even less frequently as their female counterparts. Congratulations Andres :clap:
 
There are no rules that say openly gay men cannot be photogrphed with half naked women in provocative poses....but this does seem rather forced and therefore quite redunudant.
Personally I don't like the pics and Adam has so much personality and none of that comes through here. A total missed opportunity.


Oh, I didn't mean to imply that they couldn't, it just seems like Details is trying to be all edgy and cool by photographing a famously gay pop culture figure with a naked woman in sexual poses. And it just comes off as boring like it's trying too hard. If it was a naked man, I'd at least applaud them for trying somethnig different. And it would have given them alot of press. A missed opportunity, imo.
 
But the magazine is probably aimed at straight men, generally, and with an gay coverstar the models probably there to stop the guys just flicking past it. It's sad, but I'd imagine it's at least part of the reason why she's there.
 
I know Piers Morgan recently talked about an interview he did with Cindy Crawford for UK GQ, I'm wondering if this is the issue that piece is going into. I was almost hoping she might get the cover.

Esquire needs to chill with the text over-load, but I guess at least they're somewhat creative with it. Also, That's got to be one of the most unflattering pictures of Downey Jr. I've seen in some time. The man is like sex on legs, it can't be too hard to make him look good.
 
A QR code cover... I'm old-fashioned, I believe magazines are made to be read by human minds. Ah, it does no harm to see what can be done with these things, but it would be nice to see this innovative element presented in a clean way, rather than surrounded by nervous cover content that feels like they're trying to over-compensate about something. It lacks their usual design flair.

Does anybody here know more about The Rake Magazine?It's from Singapore.
 
Nicole Kidman posing in her underwear for the cover for a mens magazine seems so out of date. I'd rather see Cindy on thr GQ cover.
 
I have to agree...there are MANY other choices for that cover.
 
seeing Nicole in lingerie is a bit ... erm ... awkward? have to see it in HQ
 
I got the issue of GQ today with Nicole. There's some good shots in her ed I have to say. The make up is very harsh on the cover shot, and one other inside, and it just makes her look like a drag act really. But there's two really nice shots.
 
Seeing her on the cover like that reminds me of 1997. I suppose it does no celebrity any harm to keep their hand in, when it comes to men's magazines, to remind the world they can still look good in underwear.
