That Girl Christina A.
-
Artist:
If you're a guy, how can you resist the latest issue of Rolling Stone. There she is, Christina Aquilera, wearing, well, close to nothing. She's got on some short short shorts. Skin tight (practically painted on) short short shorts. And this top that, well, doesn't leave much to the imagination. The cover is a send-up of those WWII pin-up girl photos, so we can be so post-post-ironic but also get off on the sexy babe cover.
The cover of the Rolling Stone.Hey, I'm not complaining. I'm much rather look at Christina in this outfit than, say, those Linkin Park dudes. So here's the deal. The reason we complain about Rolling Stone selling out is because once upon a time it was a great music magazine. (Disclosure time: I worked as an Associate Editor and Senior Writer at Rolling Stone from 1984 through mid-1993, about a year before I founded/launched Addicted To Noise, the Web's first music magazine.) So what you have to do is shift gears. Don't think of Rolling Stone as a music magazine (if you want a music mag, try Mojo or Punk Planet or The Wire or the music issue of the New Yorker). Instead, think of Rolling Stone as a pop culture mag that often puts scantily clad female stars on the cover. Now doesn't that make you feel a whole lot better about Rolling Stone?
