Gaga For Exposure... And For Charity Comments (0)

Screen Shot 2016-01-08 at 12.12.28 PMKinney shot this, and probably shot!

For a mere $50, you can own this limited-edition cover of V Magazine featuring a nude Lady Gaga (whatever) and Taylor Kinney (wait, what???) to benefit her Born This Way Foundation.

It's a little absurd, but this is #15 out of 16 (!) different covers of the same issue.

When I was a magazine editor, I used to love doing flip covers (where the back cover, when turned upside down, looked like a unique front cover) in order to help drive sales. My asinine distributor always said it hurt sales due to confusion when displaying them. Duh, the only confusion was when stores inadvertently displayed both sides, thinking they were different issues—giving us double the exposure. It always worked.

But hey, that was when magazines were purchased on newsstands.
