adriena lima for v magazine

we know that times are desperate, we get that bomb-shell curves are back in (granted not by choice rather by necessity of our western obesity), but can someone please explain what v magazine is doing/thinking. absolutely crass, mundane and uninteresting series of covers. you can add this to the bang ad by marc jacobs (see post). seems like crass/kitsch taste is quite back in fashion. quite happy to be well outside of it. by dd
