The Gisele Vanity Fair cover (above) was a bomb in terms of sales and according to reports, the model herself is getting the blame. Who knew that professing a love of baby snatching was enough for you to fall out of people’s favour.
Nude model gristle on the cover led to some of the publisher’s poorest sales in two years. So, around the last time you took a solid sh*t was the last time this magazine did this badly. You could blame the recession or you could jump on the bandwagon and hate her for being a roid vadge edition baby snatcher. Dude, claiming other people’s babies as your own is not going to make you popular.
Its May issue featuring the gorgeous Gisele Bundchen’s nearly naked sold 280,000 single-copy sales — the lowest-selling issue of the publication in nearly two years. What was Vanity Fair’s response to the tough sale?
This is the shocking response: “It might be that she’s losing her looks,” spokeswoman Beth Kseniak joked to the New York Observer. (via Cover Awards)
The baby/baby daddy snatching is the underlying culprit for sure. I don’t think Vanity Fair’s average reader is into that or anyone who openly is. Take that sh!t to OK mag.
Beth Kseniak is FUNNY.
The readers were turned off by her bizarre antics for sure. And yep, I love that someone with a face like that is accused of being too fuggers to sell magazines!
I’m so happy to hear this, I can’t stand Gisele!!!
I used to at be kind of indifferent, but the whole “her kid is my kid” thing was retarded. Blegh.
[...] Gisele Bundchen is naked and no one cares-Amy Grindhouse [...]
Personally, I think she’s overrated, but this has to…and iwll hurt her career. can we say downslope?
maybe now she can actually eat and be normal…NAH!!!! lol
I’m surprised people do think it’s cos she looks fuggers. I asssumed it was because of all that stupid BS with her wedding rumours and the beby thing.
It sold poorly because no one but fashion designers give a flying fuck about her and her body looks disgusting. I’m literally repulsed by the length of her torso. She looks like fucking Gumpy. Doutzen Kroes is the new supermodel. Her body is toned and BANGIN’.
Welcome to the site and thanks for the comment Alexis – I agree actually, and the same goes for Vogue. It’s over-priced 50% full of adverts and the rest is full of dull dull features. HA!

Yeah sure, blame the naked girl… I thought people were supposedly buying this thing for the articles. What was the top headline? — “The Prince and The Paper” — oooh sounds fascinating.
Hey hey Fred, long time no see. May I say your Avatar is particularly badass!
The stiff, a-sexual cover and the boring headlines were the nail in the coffin. Yup.
I actually feel kind of bad for her, I think she had no idea how terrible it would sound when she talked about her stepson. I think she truly cares for the little boy, and that can only be a good thing. I’m a stepmom myself and it’s a really fine line you have to walk. Still, those were some really unfortunate quotes and I think she’s lost a lot of fans.
Also, not a very hot picture, and really dull headlines. Not that I would be caught dead reading Vanity Fair anyway. Bo-ring. Wonder what the best-selling issue of the last two years was?
Thanks for sharing Pencils.
I think Gisele shares from a common celebrity afflication, not being able to think for herself or give an interview without a PR person feeding her answers. Her lack of cognition of how those specific comments would sound out of context is what finished her off.
