Jessica Simpson is on the cover of Elle magazine this month.
In the shot she is very naked and very pregnant.
Back in October – during our first week of shows – we noticed this strange trend:
Naked and pregnant women occupy the cover of magazines a lot.
Back then it was New York magazine and Ebony releasing covers featuring very pregnant and very nude women within weeks of each other.
Back then it was New York magazine and Ebony releasing covers featuring very pregnant and very nude women within weeks of each other.
At the time, we acknowledged it was a tribute to the 1991 Demi Moore Vanity Fair cover.
But it's a "tribute" that is getting seriously old.
The Demi cover was more than 20 years ago.
And since then, literally dozens and dozens of magazines have done the exact same cover.
I know that the magazines are *expecting* us to be shocked and appalled when a naked woman is on a magazine cover.
But at this point, we're not.
So what do you say – when it comes to magazine covers like this – let's all just take a pregnant pause.
What do you think about pregnant women on magazines? Does the cover of a magazine make you want to buy it? What other magazine trends have you noticed?
