Very true.


I do wonder why she would convey an exploited woman image, considering her prior postings agains such things. I guess we will have to read the print to find out what she thinks about this.

The eye looks like it could be from "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick - the same American director who made "Lolita".

EDIT: I think what bothers me most at this point is I believe this was the only time her picture was taken "deliberately" with the U.S. flag in it and this is how she chooses to do it?

I also wish the Amerian flag was not in it. It doesn't matter what the intent of the image is, many will see it as disrespectful. I think she made a mistake here (by not saying no to including the flag). The image could even take on a life of it's own (for example, being held up as an example of what the French think of America). She has carefully avoided such controversies in the past. I think she erred in allowing this.

Okay, so before reading any reactions I just want to say that I absolutely love this. No, it isn't classy or cute, but that's not what the magazine is for in the first place. It's campy, funny, sexy, and to be honest I'm looking forward to the rest of the pictures. Taking it all in, every detail is a reference to American horror films. I don't know how many of you are into American horror but for me this cover is, like I said, campy and fun.

("campy" meaning "providing sophisticated amusement by virtue of having artificially (and vulgarly) mannered or banal or sentimental qualities")...

...Now that I have read reactions, take heart and get your sense of humor back out guys. She isn't trying to send any "message", and I really don't think she's "poking fun" at America, American pop stars, or anybody. I see the shoot as a fun homage to American horror....

Thanks Azhiri. Nice analysis.

A lot of us have been confused about her thought process (or lack thereof) that went into getting these tattoos, maybe she will shed some light on that here.

I hope so.
