I haven't said this in a long time, but I really love these V covers. Granted, there is some airbrushing and the Fonda picture borders on being off ever so slightly, but there is something wonderful about seeing a host of beautiful, vibrant women over 50 being presented as fashionable, edgy and hip. These covers have a certain freshness and energy that we haven't seen from V in awhile. Their whole gimmick of issues centered around a theme can get old (and seem a bit like controversy baiting at times) but this is an issue that is actually interesting. We're entering into a bit of an age "trend" what with the all older men issue of Vogue Hommes and a few other recent fashion features where age was a theme, but I find it refreshing all the same. It isn't as though we don't need more of this.
Would have loved to see Charlotte Rampling get a cover as well, but still these are some of my favorite actresses so I cannot complain.
