Miss Jackson If You're Nasty


Janet Jackson Ph. Inez Lamweerde and Vinoodh Matadin
Whatever for that Superbowl Scandal. Janet Jackson claims her crown as latter day icon on the sweet and playful new V cover (set to hit stands March 15) that skillfully touts her forthcoming new album. Also highlighting the bumper issue is a lush 12 page floral extravaganza featuring Polina/Take 2 as shot by Solve Sunsbo. Then there is a steamy Diana Dondoe lensed by Mario Sorrenti and a loose and off-the-cuff layout featuring Liya as shot by Terry Richardson. Also of great inspiration is a young photograper compilation titled Stars and Stripes. If ever there was a must-buy V, this sure is the one.

Liya: Lithe and Languid


Liya/IMG. Ph. Mert and Marcus for Louis Vuitton S/S 04
Look! Its MDC's beloved cover-star Liya lying all lithe and languid in the hot Tunisian sun, working her moment with the help of a well placed burst of light. (Is it the"bling" or the pocket mirror?) Don't you just love it when nice girl's find their on-camera diva. To see the image in all its true glory nab the new V. Which reminds us...don't we have that Liya Q+A conducted just before the coutures docked and ready to run ? Stay tuned.

Pure Gold


Tiiu/Major. Ph Jean Baptiste Mondino for J'Adore
Now the truth can be told. We danced around the issue (y'know confidentiality clauses and all that) but another pleasant surprise in the new V is the unveiling of Tiiu's major J'Adore ad. Don't you just love the consistency of the creative?

Adriana Looming


Adriana Lima/DNA.Ph Russell James
Adriana Lima in all her Victoria's Secret Splendor.... A rare interview with photography dons Mert and Marcus- not to mention- MDC's picks for the Hot Ten Models set to go mainstream (in a 5 page extravaganza). With all these varying layers of content the new issue of American Photo certainly is a must- buy for all you rising photographers. Check it out ! ...Its true our priorities are a bit skewed (one eye on the clothes, the other on the cabine) but it is our duty to confirm that the "mystery black model" at that farewell Gucci extravaganza is indeed IMG's Mimi Roche.... And congrats are in order to Marilyn's resident swetheart Caroline Ribiero who is now the proud mother of a baby boy, John Phillippe. Mother and child are healthy and doing well.
