I know these are all up-and-coming talent, and they're hustling to make the most of their fame and maximize their popularity, but by a lot of standards, they are successful, they are celebrated, people look up to them. I wonder if they realize this, and if they really consider the message they're sending out to the younger women who are following behind?

They're basically saying that it doesn't matter how successful, talented or smart you are, what is important to get ahead is to show men that you are sexually available to them, are at least, you're willing to make yourself look that way in public. The fact is that these women are not lingerie models, neither are they musicians at a concert, so we can't say they're just doing their job. What exactly are they doing?

Compare their cover to the Kings of Comedy cover of Mode Men, which in 2010 featured three male entertainers. The difference is clear, isn't it?

Ladies, think twice next time before you begin to take your clothes off for a male magazine's camera.

Funny enuf wen I first saw this pic I didn't see anything wrong with it,but on readin ur article,I took a closer look and realized that these ladies are actually halfnakiid,I guess most of us ave been desensitized by the media(movies,music videos et al)that we actualy see nothin wrong in a lady exposing all her goodies,welLl that's d world we find ourselves in now,ow we for do

Tjskii tk d words ryt out o my mouth. @ frst u see it as 'normal' but then... N then d contrast wth the mens' issue is so glaring! I agree d@ as role models though,they should carry themselves as such, youngsters copy a lot of what they see in d media. I see Chimamanda Adichie as one of my role models,myne whitman t mention a few- none of which I can picture semi clad in d media... My 2 kobo. :-)
