^ But look at last 3 covers. Where're living people?

Sometimes all the best people are dead

The heath cover was a PR stunt for Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus or whatever that movie is called. And the article accompanying the cover was an embarrassment and severe exploitation. Then again, even after his death, Heath has to sell that movie.

One way or the other.

I think the WWD article sums up why they've gone with the Kennedy cover again. It's their money spinning issue.

Although I'm sure the Jackson/Fawcett covers will have probably sold more than a usual September issue would for them, it probably wont have mattered that the Kennedy cover would make it a three month run of dead celebrity cover stars. It'll no doubt be their biggest selling issue of the year.

They'll have to come up with something great for November's cover, but I'm not going to be placing any bets.

VF can usually be very unpredictable, since they are not only limited to actresses or actors, models etc.

I am not bothered by Jackie... it is just a little dated for VF to follow the same tack again and again.

From this issue.

I'm just shocked there's an article about Georgian people.
It's about richest Georgian man Badri Patarkatsishvili (according to Forbes). But he was dead last year, in February.

The Widow and the Oligarchs

The sudden death in February 2008 of Badri Patarkatsishvili, Georgia’s richest man, rocked the ruthless world of the Russian oligarchy, pitting his widow, Inna, against his partner, exiled billionaire Boris Berezovsky, in one of the biggest estate battles ever, and landing an American lawyer in a Belarusian penal colony. Talking to key players in New York and London, the author reports on suspected forgery, secret marriage, and an alleged private-jet kidnapping.

Jagger Edge

Georgia May Jagger is following her mother, Jerry Hall, and three siblings into the modeling business. The lips, of course, are Dad’s.

Another year, another vintage of model springs from the loins of the great Mick Jagger. Other rock gods can lay claim to model progeny: Steven Tyler, Rod Stewart, Bryan Ferry, and Bob Geldof have all sired one or two. And co–Rolling Stones Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood have fathered two each. But of Mick’s seven children, a whopping four (Jade, Elizabeth, James, and now Georgia May) have made it in the major leagues of modeling. Georgia, 17, follows her mother, Jerry Hall, and siblings into the family business with a debut ad campaign for the blue-jean company Hudson. She says the experience was “totally wicked, as I felt totally involved in the creative process.”

“Modeling is always something I’ve really admired because I’ve seen my mum and sister do it,” she adds. “But it wasn’t something I ever thought I’d do.” While she enjoys it, she sees it mainly as “a great way to get into other things, like art and design and photography. I think all the stuff that happens before the pictures are taken is much more exciting.” Her childhood dream was to be a singer or “a one-woman circus,” as she is passionate about animals, but for now, “it’s more important for me to be here with my family because I am still really young.” With one year of school left, Georgia lives with her mother in Richmond, outside London. And what does her father make of her modeling? “I don’t think he really feels that much about it, because he knows that it’s not my main goal in life. He knows that it’s a really good way to start off, especially if you want to become a photographer—just being around creative, artistic people is really inspiring. He doesn’t hate it at all.”
