>> THE MODELIZER —Gisele Bundchen is one of the last models able to hold a major magazine cover on her own, according to Anna Wintour, but even she may be losing her touch. Her May 2009 Vanity Fair cover was the lowest-selling for the magazine in nearly two years, and her April 2009 Harper's Bazaar cover was the lowest-selling for the magazine since November 2008. When Gisele was on the September 2007 Vanity Fair cover (left), it was the third-biggest seller that year. Vanity Fair's spokeswoman's suggestion for the change? "It might be that she's losing her looks." [NY Observer]
Not to mention that it's the worst possible period to showcase glitter, luxury and the superficial side of celebs. Introspection is the new trend. Those editors should know better.



Ra-Re
This doesn't bode well for other models who are lesser known to get covers. Celebs may sell but the magazine articles are usually boring.
