Vibe Covers: Ciara v. Toni Braxton

Started by CocoaDiva · 6 months ago

Here is my random Saturday thought. For all you youngin’s Ciara was NOT the first woman to pose nude on the cover of Vibe. Flashback to 1997 and you have Toni Braxton appearing nude on the cover of Vibe Magazine. That issue raised a HUGE controversy back then and the same thing is g ... Continue reading »

    On another note...after seeing both of these covers I kind of want to hit the gym for like 50-11 hours. I mean damn.

    and my vote is Toni's cover. Ciara's wouldnt be so bad if her pose was just a little different. but with that pose & her mouth open, it looks less like art and more like soft porn. which is too bad, i like(d) Ciara.

    You read the article? oh yeah.. lol.

    I think women are posing nude because it's exactly as you've said and we all know - sex sells. I don't think it says anything about the women unless you're a preacher, which Toni's father was (according to the article ;) lol), or some sex crazed kid who's looking too hard (like I was just doing). And, I could never lose respect for a woman simply because she's nekked. I only lose respect when she's not giving it up to me LOL j/k. And as far as the magazine is concerned, I think as long as it's done tastefully then they can only garner more respect.

    I don't remember Toni's pics and I haven't seen Ciara's pics so I can't say whose was better. But, the covers are there. I think Toni's was done more tastefully. There's too much tease in Ciara's cover LOL.

    Toni's cover definitely had more class...Ciarra looks like a two dollar whore....from Disney to porn....i guess people will do whatever when their careers are going downhill

    Toni was tasteful and classy, Ciara looks like she's putting herself out there in that pose and pouty mouth. Whoever put her in that position deserves to be fired!!!

    Give me Toni's cover. I would've said Ciara had she not looked like such a Grandmother on the VMA's

    I lost respect for Vibe when it became so mainstream. I stop reading it around the time the love of my life Kevin Powell stopped writing for them. I guess I'm old fashioned but I don't know what a class picture of a semi-,half, almost naked woman looks like. I just think somethings are better kept between you and your spouse. I believe the human body is a beautiful thing, but what are you really trying to prove by posing for the world. Some things just should be kept between husband and wife.

    So now Ciara is suing Vibe for posting the nude photos on the inside cover of the magazine. She claims she was fully clothed and her clothes were airbrushed off. You have to approve your cover shot, don't you? Soooo she approved being naked on the cover of a magazine.....and not the inside....sounds fishy. Don't get all upset about your decision Ciara. The covery was questionable and the inside even more so. We all do things we regret....man up.

    They are both revealing too much. But actually if I had to choose, I'd go with Ciara, surprisingly. At least you can't see as much. Toni bared TOO much...however, I didn't like the inside pics of Ciara...some things are good left to the imagination.
