RS~Hottest Covers of ALL TIME..sorry if you have dial-up
I was thumbing through a copy of Rolling Stone Magazine the other day, one of the last days of my son's high school break. I'm way behind and since this was a special issue, I'd sat it aside and finally decided I'd best make time to check it out thoroughly and anyway, I'm doing a sort of after-holidays clean up-cum-purge. Issue #1000 is a series of essays on people formerly on the cover w/that cover shot reproduced (the criteria for a cover shot varies with "well-known" probably being the most consistent attribute of the people on the 1000 covers).
(I really don't feel like writing but I really do, here where my friends are. I've been either trying to figure out two versions of WordPress (accident, not choice) or generating content for them including masses of blogroll-y things and widgets of many sizes, flavours, and colours. bleh. stick a fork in me.)
So. I went to put the Special Collector's Issue #1000 from June 2006 (!) that I'd just finished reading an essay on Johnny Depp and after, Hunter S. Thompson and a few others, and was about to start Bono by Bono when out slipped what I thought was a thick insert and most likely have been thinking was an insert since I began owning Issue 1000 over 18 months ago. So I swooped down to pick up the insert and in doing so glanced at it and saw:
"Aha! This is no ordinary ginormous insert!," I thought.
And the "special foldout" was glued shut!
LOL. Rolling Stone Magazine was acting parental or their age--same thing.
<side note: Tonight (recorded last night) RS sent a real doofus-sounding guy to represent them on the currently- unscripted Jon Stewart Show a/k/a The Daily Show.>
My first thought after seeing words like "skin" and "naked" was because they'd made such a big deal out of this "nude section" and because I've seen some truly Playboyesque Rolling Stone covers over the years, was I glad I found this, not my 15-year-old son. (I'm an idiot, I know. Please don't spoil my delusion(s). After I opened the insert I was surprised at how tame the photos were.
So this is what was inside. No nude Johnny Depp. Boo. Though a very nice quote from the photographer who did the 2005 head-and-shoulders cover photo: "Depp is a great beauty. He does everything he can to break that beauty down a little bit. But everything he does just makes him more interesting-looking."~Albert Watson
So, I ask, Why no semi-nude Johnny? Hrmph!
Of the guys...I really loved how Brad looked here in his Gweneth/Legends Of The Fall period. Of course, he's making a 12 Monkeys face ... The photo of Justin Timberlake is famous for good reason. It's near perfect. It made him into an Adonis because the brilliant (now deceased) Herb Ritts took it. As far as his career went it was the beginning of his leaving boy bandage behind him and bringing sexy back.
Of the ladies? Jen's showing of ass-crack got her a lot of attention...but I think I'm going to go with the under boobage and Cindy Crawford. On the full-size cover she was really beautiful. Striking even. They air-brushed the hell out of Christina--she didn't even look real and Demi to me, always looks plastic. If you click and enlarge it you can see Uma in her glory but I liked her Kill Bill w/ Tarantino RS cover better. That was luscious. Half of it, anyway.
Depp cover as mentioned above:
And to be fair to Uma:

Of the women I'd say (don't shoot me now) I like Brittney's the best, followed by Cameron and J-Lo. The rest either look nasty, fake or too damn skinny (Gisele)! Her body looks like a 10 year old boy with boobs!
Johny Depp is my favorite of the guys although Justin is not too hard on the eyes either!
Hmmmmm, forgotten about that photo of Justin! Admit he looks good there, but am not a fan. As for Mr Depp.............swoon! Uma my fav lady. The Kill Bills are up there on my fav films of all time.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, your sons are lucky to have such a cool Mum (mom!) collecting RS!
xxxxxx
justin looks hotttt. i'm not a fan by any means, but, uhm, just WOW.
i will always love johnny depp. *swoon*
uma's hot, but then i took a second look and she looks kind of constipated...
i wish i had my own personal photographer/makeup artist/etc so i could always look pretty. hehe.
i like to tell steve that i may not be as glam as the hollywood celebs, but what you see is what you get... i'm still cute even without makeup and photoshop... unlike some of those hollywood celebs. hehe...
Not a good photo of Uma. Love Johnny Depp - in all re-incarnations.
I find it hard to believe that this section was sealed!!!
I completely agree, grrrace! You are cute!!! No need for 15 lbs of goo to get you that way. I used to tell my spouse the same thing. I wore almost no makeup when I met him--very basic. I'm still no fuss--just have to make sure I use emough "filler" to take care of the under-eye circles and"puffs!" so I don't scare folks. LOL!
