Dear vanity fair

i am a magazine junkie, but i always let Vanity Fair lapse because of the schlock factor. then I hear about the great left wing political scoops it publishes and i resubscribe only to let it lapse again in disgust at the cheesecake.
how many nude female covers can one take? every week it's starlets in ivory satin backless gowns like its 1920 all over again but without the witty repartee.
enuf already Vanity Fair.
this month it is Bundchen, shown at left, sans makeup, but on the cover nude.
i am no prude, but nude, nubile girls get to be boring. all slender girls look the same.
i know because i was a figurative painter, studying the nude human model for at least 20 years.
in Art school in Chicago, all the nude models were dancers at the Goodman Theatre next door. all, both males and females, had the same developed musculature and definition, that made them look already like plaster cast statues and not real people. It was always such a great energizer for the students to get a real life model, who was not a perfect specimen.
Dear Vanity Fair, your readers are not all men.
When Ms. magazine first came out in the late sixties, early seventies, they had a feature showing major sexist blunders in adverts etc.
No one cares about that anymore. As women become ever more intensely sex objects. And with botox and implants, women become their own oppressors.
it was so much easier when Gloria Steinem thought that women were oppressed by men, but it is not so simple. Women are the greatest oppressors of each other in the workforce and in social settings.
The only hope is the younger generation.
Hang in there young people.
We sixties generation types, dropped the ball. The hope of our generation is gone.
It passes to the youth of today-keep on going as you are now. You are less race conscious than older generations. There is hope that you will be less sexist too.
