    I can live without ac, but I abhor morning people. I'll take my yoga in the p.m., thanks.

    I saw that Rachel McAdams chopped off her hair with a butcher knife in a wind tunnel, so I chopped off my hair with a butcher knife in a wind tunnel.

    Hey, Rachel McAdams, I hate air conditioning too. Let's be friends! But there is no way in hell I'm joining you for yoga at 4.30am. No thanks.

    By the way, you look stunning in that first shot, with the red dress and the omg shoes. Yowza! Friends let friends borrow clothes, right?

    Oh Rachel, we could have been so perfect together. But I can't start any earlier than 4.30 pm, and without air conditioning I feel like Laura Ingalls Wilder after milking cows.

    I didn't realize they had public classes devoted exclusively to knife skills. I hate my knife skills, so I may take her lead and look into classes.

    Thanks, girlfriend!

    You know, I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I love her weird haircut. It's punk and avant-garde and kickass.

    And, dammit, I just like her.

    Why do all pop tarts feel the need to get naked to be "taken seriously"?

    Also, what has Rihanna done musically that is really all that innovative?

    I'm starting to lose interest, sadly.

    I don’t mind women in showbiz stripping off as long as they don’t later whine that nobody takes them seriously as artists. Me, I am with Team Taylor Swift on the issue: it is possible to have a successful music career without indulging the adolescent fantasies of lad’ mags.

    @femme-bot: Here's one reason if we are talking about young women posing for magaines like GQ: as 64 year old Helen Mirren recently admitted disrobing for a film no longer carries the same pressures for her now. She says, "You don't care anymore. I don't feel the need to be buff, beautiful, fantastic. You become a human being as opposed to an empty sexual person".
    I belong to a culture where people of all ages and genders take naked saunas together and still take one another seriously. Context is all.

    @femme-bot: Well *we* can, but unfortunately a lot of folks (especially readers of said magazines) tend not to be able to...they tend to discriminate or pigeonhole anyone who shows skin or plays "sexy" as not smart, or not empowered, or not worthy of respect.

    Again, not my opinion *at all*, but the unfortunate default for many.

    @femme-bot: I think the more pressing question is--why do women have to take their clothes off in order to feel as though they're getting taken seriously?

    Because lets be honest--nobody takes Taylor Swift seriously, at least no more than they take Rihanna. Britney Spears, I think, is just barely below those two. Not because Britney has been having mental health problems, but because famous, beautiful, young women are basically at the bottom of the "people who are taken seriously" ladder. I mean, "starlets"? "Little stars?" Might as well call them "little ladies."

    And yet for some reason, "taking clothes off in lad mag" or "playing a stripper in a movie" seem to be the two most well-trodden routes to serious-status, as far as these starlets are concerned. It doesn't work--but neither does staying clothed.

    What young women get taken seriously, the famous ones? Julia Stiles used to, sort of, because she did Shakespeare and went to Columbia--but then there was a backlash and nobody takes her seriously any more. Maybe if we extend it to actresses we can find a few, but female musicians?

    I think it's lovely that she's sensible enough to wear a sweater in at least one of these shots. My Nana, who always warned me about catching a chill, would no doubt approve of Ms. Fenty's sartorial prudence.

    Do I care that she is very undressed on the shots? Nope. Do I think they don't do justice to her striking looks? They don't.

    In reply to Lara Stone Is A Living Doll On The Cover Of Love
    I picked up the last issue at the airport. It was supposed to be dedicated to young people doing interesting, creative things with their lives, but was full of celebrity spawn who basically go to lots of parties and hang out with the 'right' people, spouting vacuous inanities. The usual myth-making that goes on around the photogenic sons & daughters of privilege. I learned absolutely nothing of interest.

    And it thinks it's so rebellious and fresh. Please. There weren't even any good photographs in it. I was so disgusted I left it on the plane. Bloody expensive, too!

    @Diziet_Sma: I was so disappointed in this magazine for the same reasons you have just stated. The piece about the recession where they have "impoverished" girls (ie models, djs, prep school students) dressed up in $1000 jackets made my blood pressure go up. I sold my first two issues on eBay.

    Spend your money on Lula instead.
