That - goodness - <B>larger women can remove their clothes too</B>? But if it was humorous, is the joke meant to be that it's <B>a fat woman</B> on the front of the magazine? If it was a statement, why was the picture airbrushed? We don't think the NME really knew what it was doing when it ran the cover; perhaps we should vote for it to win in a bid to finally find out?</I><BR/><BR/>In answer to your first question there, the message was, of course, that to the modern rather bourgeois NME she is "free-spirited", while the rest of us knew she is just a show-off who has little self-respect and is naive enough to be exploited by the magazine.<BR/><BR/>Yup. Pretty confident that whatever the hell they were trying to do with that cover is still lost on me. Still according to them I'm probably just jealous or boring or something like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-688917720724114832008-08-09T08:37:00.000+00:002008-08-09T08:37:00.000+00:00It wasn't Noel, Ashcroft or Pete.
