Turns out Cameron Diaz was reading words at gunpoint back in November when she said this, ‘I think every woman does want to be objectified. There’s a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified and I think its healthy.’ Because that’s not Cameron Diaz’s outside voice, it’s Esquire UK editor Alex Bilmes’ outside voice. She covered Esquire UK the same month looking like Terry Richardson does pap smears now and here’s Blimes using the same words to describe his cover subjects, ‘The women that we feature in the magazine are ornamental. That is how we see them. I could lie to you and say they’re interested in their brains as well, but on the whole, we’re not. They’re there to be beautiful objects. They’re objectified. There are certain times when we just want to look at them cause they’re sexy. One of the things men like is picture of pretty girls. So we provide them with pictures of pretty girls. And those pretty girls, for that purpose, they are ornamental. We also provide them with pictures of cool cars, or whatever. It’s a thing that you might want to look at. We’re at least, or possibly more, ethnically diverse [than other magazines]. More shape-diverse. We also have older women. Not really old, but in their 40s… Cameron Diaz was on the cover three issues ago. She’s in her 40s.’
