When it comes to models on magazine covers, what would you prefer to see?

Asked by OpryLeigh (25305points) September 11th, 2009

We are all used to seeing airbrushed, slim, beautiful models on magazines but recently there is more of a trend to use “real” women in magazines and ad campaigns. If you are 100% honest which would you rather see on the likes of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and other glossy’s, “real” women that you would likely see in everyday life or high fashion models used for their so-called perfect features.

I hate to say it but I prefer the latter. When I buy Harpers Bazaar I don’t want to see someone who looks like everyone else. I want to see something completely different. Now, I know we are all unique yadda, yadda, yadda….BUT there is something strange (not always beautiful but usually striking) about the models that are used in the real world of high fashion.

I know that’s not very politically correct of me but it’s the truth. I don’t aspire to look like the majority of these girls but I do love looking AT them
