vogue photoshopped kristen stewart's legs to look much longer. stewart is only 5'6.
this was the very first thing i thought upon seeing the photo, as well. one look and i thought, "oh, they've completely stretched her legs". it's so hilariously obvious. and stupid. why bother?!
i happen to think that the cover is gorgeous. Blake Lively has a certain charm, a star quality that's gonna take her far. and if Ben Affleck is to be believed -- she's also an incredible actress when given quality material (he directed her in his upcoming film,
The Town). he said to Esquire magazine that he was basically blown away by her and that he was so happy to be the first one to "discover" her in a way, as a legitimate film actress.
SO -- i think she's a great choice for a cover. yeah, it would've been amazing to see Raquel finally get a cover (she's probably
the most consistently fantastic model of the past decade), or Daria, or even Karen with Jack. but the reality is that this is a June issue and Blake looks the part. and she's at least somewhat relevant culturally, at the moment.
i still think that Kristen would've been a smarter choice on Anna's part - if only because the twi-hards are so bloody devote .. they would've snatched up hundreds of thousands of copies of the mag. haha.
