V Magazine were planning on launching a Spanish edition of the magzine so what better way to make people buy your magazine than having one of the sexiest supermodels in the world be topless on the cover. This is what they’ve done and that sexy supermodel is Adriana Lima.
Inside the magazine they feature 50 of the sexiest bodies in the world and as you can guess Adriana is included in this list along with some other sexy supermodels, all of who were photographed by Mario Sorrenti.
They also say that if you dislike the V that is blocking Adriana Lima‘s nipples then you can peel it off, I wonder how many people will be doing that?

Remember last month that I told you all about V Magazine‘s Size Issue and the controversy to go with it? Well here is a preview of the plus size models.
Now I am all for using models of every size possible but this is going to sound really mean, but when I saw these pictures I was completely weirded out.
But that goes to show what the we are all used too – skinny bitches! Being honest though I do prefer my semi naked women to have a fit/toned body. I’m being very careful with what I can say because people go ape shit crazy on this issue!

V Magazine have decided that their January 2010 issue will feature a bunch of plus-sized models, this of course means there is going to be some controversy.
That is Crystal Renn in the photo above from the May 2009 issue of Glamour magazine, which also did a plus-sized issue, and she is expected to be in V’s January issue.
According to Page Six the likes of Terry Richardson, Bruce Weber and Karl Lagerfeld are all set to take photos of the models which will range from fully dressed to fully nude.
Stephen Gann, the editor in chife of V Magazine, said “Big, little, pint-size, plus-size — every body is beautiful. And this issue is out to prove it.”
But are these models actually plus sized? It seems not because Jezebel have come up with some very good points…..
- Lagerfeld, you may recall, once said: “No one wants to see curvy women. You’ve got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly.”
- Since V usually uses “regular” models — especially for its “beauty issue,” how does a one-off plus-size issue “prove” that “every body is beautiful”?
- Much like when Italian Vogue did an “all-black issue,” the flipside of highlighting one kind of model in a “special” issue is that they’re actually being segregated, placed in a ghetto, away from the other “real” models.
- This is mentioned often on this site, but worth repeating: A plus-size model is not the same as a plus-sized woman. A “plus-size model” is a model who is at least 5’9″ but has measurements above the requirements for “straight size” models, which are, roughly, 34-24-34. Basically, a plus size model could be a US size 8, 10 or 12, despite the fact that those sizes are not considered “plus” by clothing manufacturers, So they don’t exactly represent plus-sized women.
What do you think about this? I mean Crystal Renn isn’t exactly a fattie is she? But in the model world she would be considered a whale. Yet again the question of what is too skinny is brought up in the fashion world.

In the latest issue of “V” magazine, Lady Gaga takes her flamboyant fashion sense a little further and poses nude.
It’s fashion princess meets S&M queen as the theme for the photo shoot. And she sure doesn’t seem to mind stripping down and showing off her bod for her subjects.
