In an interview with vanity fair, the Contra cover girl now 52 years old, with a 13 year old daughter, he explained her side of the conroversial cover picture.
“”It’s not even like it’s a Polaroid before a photo shoot, because the hair’s not done, the makeup’s not done, the lighting’s not done. Nothing. It almost looks like somebody caught me by surprise,” she said. “The other thing that’s strange about this photo is that it’s not taken [in front of a] seamless [backdrop] like it would be in a photographer’s studio. You can see a doorframe there and hinges right in the background.”
It sure looks that way to me.
However: this is not a matter of opinion, this is a matter of law. Either VW and their label have the correct signatures on the correct paper, or there is going to be a lot of money changing hands.
