Reading the comments from our more fashion-literate members, I realize that ignorance is indeed bliss.
I don't read a huge number fashion magazines and don't follow the men ones so when I see an ed like Lily's, it is all fresh and new to me. I can see how the members who read them all could be blase by it. Regardless, even after seeing the Men Vogue ed, it doesn't diminish the quality of the pictures to me.
I feel the criticism of Crystal's ed is a bit unfair. I thought the styling and composition were superb. I do love the colour scheme, the glossy finish and the way the roundness of her body is contrasted with the sharpness of her facial features. It's a beautiful (if too short) ed, imo.
I do agree with the members who feel Natasha wasn't the right model for this ed. She's a sexy girl but just not that kind of sexy to me. Her body is too scrawny to really be evocative of sun-drenched hedonism. I would have loved to see somebody like Edita for that ed. The tacky styling doesn't help either.
As for Daria's ed, it's just exploitative. There is none of the sexual tension and chemistry of the original pictures. All is left is the violence and the abuse.
Anyway, I've decided to upload one more clip from the DVD. This part shows how this picture was made:

I've selected this part because it shows her personality the most. Hope you enjoy it:
