June 07



Just wanted to add a few things about the cover art on this month’s edition of Newspeak (which hits stands today–go getchyer copy):

1). Here’s the full image, which we had to crop for to make it fit and because the law says you can’t have frontal nudity below the waist (click on it for a larger version):

2). Yes, the model is over 18. In fact, she’s 22. We have documentation.

3). If you haven’t seen Jeff’s art show, again we urge you to do so:

4). For more, check out Jeff’s awesome homepage,jeffcloutier.com

    If I was a boring lesbian, she would be my muse.

    Nice one Noel, Aaron!
    Is this the old Larry Flintesque trick, where you take someone who looks underage and publish a racy photo that is intended to get the puritans to freak out, wait a few days and see how many places refuses to distribute it, cry 1st amendment violations, then you increase you publicity by threefold?

    You guys… are brilliant.

    I think your cover model is a Clinton.

    We have some of Jeff’s fine work displayed at Colachi Arts -1107 #11 Manitou Ave. in Manitou Springs– I proudly support Jeff’s “controversial” art!

    I always find it strange that boobs will invariably offend more than anything else. We could run a graphic picture on the cover of somebody getting shot in the head and we’d scare off fewer people. “But my eight-year-old could see breasts!” And he or she didn’t see that during breastfeeding?

    Seeing Knocked Up—which I highly recommend; Judd Apatow is great—nothing drew more gasps from the audience than the very brief shot of a baby’s head crowning. This is a movie filled with profanity, drug use and the like, and the scene that people chose to be offended over was the scene of a baby being born. God forbid we ever see a vagina. We live in a weird culture.
