With the media’s obsession about the Jessica Simpson weight gain debacle and the negative message it sends to young girls, it is refreshing to see publications that feature plus-sized celebs on their cover.
We’ve been teased by promo images of Agyness Deyn as Queen Elizabeth II, Iggy Pop and Iris Strubegger. But now we have the official cover of the inaugural first issue of new fashion magazine, ‘Love.’
The cover features the awesomeness that is Beth Ditto in all her glory. The lead singer from The Gossip posed naked for famed photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
By the looks of things in this first issue, Love Magazine is going to be a refreshing and exciting addition to the fashion and pop culture publication library.
Beth Ditto has previously posed naked on the cover of NME magazine.
