Allure’s Nudes: Where Are The Men?
Allure magazine’s annual naked issue, featuring people like Padma Lakshmi (pictured), brings up complicated feelings. It’s primarily women who are the subjects of such things, unless you count famous beefcake shots of Burt Reynolds as empowering. In 2009, American celebrity males still seem to be a little squeamish about baring all. Though I suspect that American males in general will be buying this issue of Allure more than they usually do.
