Are we focusing on J.Lo being the woman of the year or her breast?

The December 2011 issue of Glamour magazine feautres Jennifer Lopez as their cover. The first thing I noticed about the cover of the magazine was not that Jennifer Lopez was the topic of interest, but how large her breast look. If a person were to pick up an issue of this magazine the first thing to catch their attention would be her breasts. Although she is covered from the waist down , her tight skirt forms the curves of her body. This picture screams SEX! The heavy makeup, wild hair, and seductive look add to this sexual connottation as well. The sexual expolit of the female body is clearly represented in this cover. Although the magazine often focuses on giving sex advice to middle aged women, the headlines of the articles in the issue should be grabbing the reader's attention. Not how big J.lo's breast are and how her skinny waist compliments her curves.

On a side note the pictures that appear the cover of amagzines and ads as well are air brushed. This allows for the person to appear as "perfect" meaning their body, skine,etc.
