Oh Goodie More Covers

 

[mikel]

I love the concept of the series. Everyone is like 'whispering' something to the other coverstar on the next cover, love it!

My favourites are: Bush and Tutu; Madonna and Angelou; Alicia and Jay-Z.

I'm disappointed by the one where Iman is the main focus. All the coverstars are wearing 'normal' clothing, and she all of a sudden a wearing something African inspired. Too bad the had to use a stereotype

btw, I accidentally switched covers # 4 & 5, so it looks out of order, it's too late to change it, maybe one the mods can alter it...

What's the 'Africa Issue' talking about?

 

[scriptgirl]

Africa. I thought that was clear.

 

[masquerade]

ugh, their sense of moral superiority is burning me from the screen

and the photos dont look too different from the gap (red) ads (surprise surprise they are both by leibowitz)

 

[sillysara495]

I like the idea, but I think the covers are a bit too cluttered with writing...it makes the faded word of Africa seem unimportant.

George W. Bush and Condi Rice?

I likely won't buy the issue, but the covers are nice.

 

[eternitygoddess]

I'd bet the George Bush and Condi Rice cover will receive the least selling.

What's the 'Africa Issue' talking about?

I wondered about that - about what the people on the cover are supposed to be whispering to each other. It looks like they're passing on a piece of gossip rather than posing each other questions of international concern.
