[Royal-Galliano]

boring cover. i even hate it

 

[Manuva]

After the last issue of VMan with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and now James Franco; VMan you are truly spoiling me

 

[Luxx]

Wow. Its really as though deerlike and I have been choosing the VMan cover subjects lately...

The actors. Not the butterface models.

 

[Pedro]

What a terrible cover! I was hoping this model to be on the cover, why have they changed their mind for this awful blurred photograph?
The review is also not promising... is this a total Chad Pitman issue?
Wasn't Mario Testino Active Duty story expected in this issue as well?
