Cover Girl
A cover girl is a woman whose photograph features on the front cover of a magazine. She may be a model, celebrity or entertainer. The term would generally not be used to describe a casual, once-off appearance by a person on the cover of a magazine. The term first appeared in English about 1899. A less-commonly used term for the other gender is cover boy. Types of cover girl Women are on the cover of the majority of general-interest magazines in the west for both men and women, with exceptions as discussed below. Celebrities feature on the cover of magazines such as '' Redbook'' for women, or ''Gentlemen's Quarterly'', ''Maxim'' or '' Esquire'' for men. The use of royalty or aristocracy is linked to the primary objective of recognition. Some magazines for women feature an unknown model that represents the style of the magazine, such as '' Seventeen''.

Australian Woman's Mirror
''The Australian Woman's Mirror'' was an Australian weekly women's magazine published by '' The Bulletin'' magazine in Sydney, between 1924 and 1961. History The first issue of the magazine was published on 25 November 1924 with the following statement of intent: Forty-five years ago a small company planted ''The Bulletin'', and its growth has been so remarkable that to-day the paper is known and read not only in all parts of Australia, but in every English-speaking country. There are, however, interests which ''The Bulletin'' has never been able to serve; and the most important of these relate to women. ''The Woman's Mirror'' proposes to serve those needs; and it will have behind it the organisation which ''The Bulletin'' has built up. Hitherto it has not been possible for ''The Bulletin'' to make use of that large amount of purely feminine writing which it has been offered. Much of it has been fiction, of first-rate quality. ''The Mirror'' will present to Australian women th ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Supermodel
A supermodel, also spelled super-model or super model, is a highly paid fashion model who usually has a worldwide reputation and often a background in ''haute couture'' and commercial modeling. The term ''supermodel'' became prominent in the popular culture of the 1990s. Supermodels usually work for prominent fashion designers and clothing brands. They may have multimillion-dollar contracts, endorsements, and campaigns. Supermodels have branded themselves as household names and worldwide recognition is associated with their modeling careers. They have been on the covers of leading fashion magazines. Claudia Schiffer stated in 2007 that, "In order to become a supermodel one must be on all the covers all over the world at the same time so that people can recognise the girls." History Origins An early use of the term ''supermodel'' appeared in 1891, in an interview with artist Henry Stacy Marks for ''The Strand Magazine'', in which Marks told journalist Harry How, "A good many mod ...

Celebrity Culture
Celebrity culture is a high-volume exposure to celebrities' personal lives on a global scale. It is inherently tied to consumer interests where celebrities transform their fame to become product brands. Whereas a culture can usually be physically identified, and its group characteristics easily observed, celebrity culture exists solely as a collection of individuals' desires for increased celebrity viewing. Celebrities themselves do not form a cohesive and identifiable group with which they identify themselves, but are rather found across a spectrum of activities and communities including acting, politics, fashion, sports and music. This "culture" is created when there is common knowledge within a society that people are interested in celebrities and are willing to alter their own lives to take part in celebrities' lives. The "culture" is first defined by factors outside of celebrities themselves and then augmented by celebrities' involvement within that publicly constructed culture ...

Arena (magazine)
''Arena'' was a British monthly men's magazine. The magazine was created in 1986 by Nick Logan, who had founded ''The Face'' in 1980, to focus on trends in fashion and entertainment.

Paparazzi
Paparazzi (, ; ; singular: masculine paparazzo or feminine paparazza) are independent photographers who take pictures of high-profile people; such as actors, musicians, athletes, politicians, and other celebrities, typically while subjects go about their usual life routines. Paparazzi tend to make a living by selling their photographs to media outlets that focus on tabloid journalism and sensationalism (such as gossip magazines). Description Paparazzi tend to be independent contractors, unaffiliated with mainstream media organizations, and photos taken are usually done so by taking advantage of opportunities when they have sightings of high-profile people they are tracking. Some experts have described the behavior of paparazzi as synonymous with stalking, and anti-stalking laws in many countries address the issue by seeking to reduce harassment of public figures and celebrities, especially when they are with their children. Some public figures and celebrities have expressed ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
