Is This The Most Naked Magazine Cover Of All Time?

Victoria’s Secret angel Izabel Goulart makes for one heck of a matador on the cover of the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar Espana — albeit one that’s forgotten its pants.

It’s a beautiful and arresting cover, but it’s also very, very naked. But what is it about the pantsless-ness that makes it seems so much more naked than just, well, your average naked cover? Is it the suspense? The way you think that if she’d only just turn one more degree to the left, she’d officially be the Most Naked Ever? Or is it the surprise? The way you think it’s a totally normal cover until you realize, Wait, that model is not wearing pants! What nice long legs she has. I would also like her shoes. Who are they by?

Or maybe that’s just us. What do you think? Do tell.

And, because it seems somewhat related, here’s a quick look back at some the more seriously naked (and seriously pregnant) magazine covers of the last twenty years. (No, Goulart is not pregnant. But lots of her compadres are!)

No but it is photoshopped to give her freakishly long legs.

The Ferengis were right — it is wrong for women to wear clothing.

Its no longer shocking, and sort of stupid to think its going to make people buy the magazine. Regarding the pregnant covers….thats a “been there, done that” cover that is also boring. I think I’m not alone in saying a pregnant belly is NOT pretty. Yes, its natural, but so is a pile of dog poop.

Are you sure? Maybe it’s just that she’s 18ft tall :)

Wow, gme11, if you’re a guy, I hope you never get a woman pregnant and then bother to stick around, because you don’t sound like you’d be any fun to deal with for a good 6+ months…

Ever seen a pair of testicles? Would you like them compared to “a pile of dog poop?” I can think of other unflattering descriptions, although I’m rather fond of testicles. Would reading them make you feel virile?
Yeahyeahyeah

Umm yeah testicles aren’t pretty either but thankfully they aren’t plastering them all over magazine covers! And I’m a woman FYI, not wanting to see pregnant ladies nude isn’t sexist, I don’t think back hair is too cute but I don’t hate men!
