Favorite Magazine Cover
anity Fair, November 2014, Jennifer Lawrence
"Just before her intimate photos were hacked--and splashed across the Web--Jennifer Lawrence posed topless for Patrick Demarchelier for the cover of Vanity Fair's November issue. As part of the accompanying cover story, she decided to break her silence about one of the biggest scandals in Hollywood this year. The Guardian called her salvo "the end of the 'shamed starlet.'" So strong was the outpouring of social-media support for Lawrence's stance that The New York Times reported on the fact "fans took to Twitter to applaud her." Demarchelier's striking photos of the Hunger Games actress also helped spark a thoughtful debate about a woman's right to reveal her body. Lawrence (and the V.F. cover) made her message loud and clear: "It's my body, and it should be my choice."

This is my favorite magazine cover out of the top covers. I like this one, not only because I like Jennifer Lawrence, but I like the mood the photo has. Her expression is interesting, and the background is interesting as well. I also like the messiness of her hair, and the way the jewelry draws your eyes in. The nudity isn't so blatant that it is distasteful, but it is different. Its sexy, but not trashy which is sometimes hard to do. I like that there is text above the heading that helps describe the picture. The reader can assume that the cover was a way to get her point across that she is comfortable with her body.
