“I’m very happy with my life and I wouldn’t take back any mistake I’ve made because it’s made me who I am today. I don’t walk around pretending that I’m perfect, so I don’t think that anyone else should hold me to that and not expect me to fuck up occasionally. Because I do, and you do, too.”

I think M.I.A. should be the cover star. What happened to all the outside-of-the-box cover girls that used to grace your covers, like Kelly Osbourne, Fiona Apple, Mena Suvari, Ludivine Sagnier, Camilla Belle?

mandy
06/29/2007
everyone has so many preconcieved notions about this girl, but i think in comparision to her peers, she's brutally honest about her life and what she's done. she isn't the same as the rest of cookie cutter hollywood.
Sarah
06/29/2007
Yeah, that's true, Mandy. I totally prefer her to other socialites. She's really cool, I won't deny it. It's just that it's not the same as Nylon used to be.
I just wished M.I.A. would've been the covergirl, considering I totally worship her.

i don't see why just because you're obsessed with MIA you had to bash on nicole =/ i like MIA and i like nicole, i have respect for nicole, instead of some celebrity she's pretty tight, she acts just like how WE would act, she doesn't care if someone's watching, she acts the way she'd act in her normal day life, unsheltered.
JULIA

who cares about nicole richie. Yes she's the most "honest" socialite...but do you really care? I'd much rather listen to a musician or artist blab on about themselves rather than a socialite who's blabing speculations about why people like her ad how she just doesn't get it. I'd say nylon can put whoever they want on the cover.....its jut a less inspiring magazine than it used to be in say...2004.
glossy

Nicole is so cute and stylish I think she is perfect for Nylon! honestly, who really cares about M.I.A? she needs to comb her hair and stop looking like she just rolled out of bed everyday. sorry, she just looks so sloppy !

I'm glad Nicole is on the cover of Nylon.Everyone judges her too much and I think we should listen to her and hear her side of the story.Well im excited for it to hit news stands!
Courtney
07/03/2007
Nicole is like the most stylish person and shes one girl who's closet I'd love to own.Anyway who is this M.I.A. everyone is talking about?
Jessica
07/03/2007
MIA is a musician, search her.
i really like 'pull up the people', good song.
anyways, back to the issue at hand, i like nicole richie as the cover girl, because i honestly like her. and i like lindsay lohan too.
but honestly, if i ever see paris hilton plastered on the cover of nylon, i'm not going to be happy. maybe she has something intelligent to say, but she absolutely does NOT have style. no way in hell.
and hi zoe up there :]
Nicole

Nicole Richie's brutal honesty and infectious humor are two things that make this girl amazing. Shes beautiful, unapologetic and yeah, she's got issues. I think people need to stop asking "why are these people famous?" and get used to this whole socialite phenomenon. It's here to stay for a while. And if anyone of them should be famous, it's Nicole. At least she's interesting.

what has happened to the Nylon I love???! avril lavigne, christina aguilera, lindsay lohan, and now nicole richie???! how about putting up some cover girls that are actually doing some GOOD. the interview with lindsay lohan a couple months ago was the worst waste of space and time. Nylon, I have been dissapointed.

07/04/2007
why shouldn't she have a cover? nylon makes everyone look good on the cover.so let them put nicole richie on the cover. at least she admits she has no reason to be famous. stop talking about her if you dont want her to be famous. but im really diggin' h.duff right now, and i want nylon to put her on the cover and make her look amazing. or like give britney her comeback. and make her bald head look amazing. nylon, you make everyone look good.

NYLON I heart you very very much for many years, but I must admit that you have become lame when it comes to magazine choices. If you want to reach out to unique, and special readers, then put unique and special people on your covers..people who actually do something. Give me a break. Stop pretending to be different when your really just becoming the same to the masses. I hope you return to why we all loved in the beginning.
Matt
07/05/2007
tbh i think it's fine who you've chosen to put on your cover. because i know, & i'm pretty sure all these people know, no matter what, nylon is going to sell.
& i'm fine reading about nicole richie.
with 'unique' celebrities, up and coming etc, there's alwas that chance they won't be famous in, what, 5 years. 'least now when you reach issue number 100 and you print all the covers in one issue the readers will recognise the cover stars.
anyway
no idea what i'm saying
i'm not even going to read what i've written up there becasue it will be filled with typos and whatnot. it's the internet, not a published book, so oh well.
can't wait till i can look around the shelves of whsmiths in manchester again looking for this issue. ha

I fucking love Nicole Richie. She's respectable as hell and I think she's perfect for the cover. She's not Paris, and by no means a socialite if used derrogatorily.
NICOLE
07/06/2007
Don't really like her much...but again, my only reason for that is because of the way the media has protrayed her - "anorexic" "party-girl", I don't really know much about this girl either so I'm open to learning more about her through NYLON! Who knows, might even like her a bit from hearing her side of the story from ya guys!

Why, Nylon, why? First Lindsay Lohan, now NIcole Richie? Why aren't you putting women who are actually talented on your covers? Where are the Zooey Deschanels, Kirsten Dunsts, Scarlett Johanssons? I started reading Nylon recently with the issue with Christina Ricci on the cover, making me think I had stumbled upon a truly unique publication. How wrong I was.
Emmy
07/07/2007
NYLON is getting bigger and bigger and needs to cater to those kids that have the money to spend- so they put Nicole Richie on the cover. I don't blame them for wanting to make $$ (don't we all??). And-I don't know her (Ms. Richie) personally so I'm not going to bash her too badly. I'll just say she seems a bit blah/boring to me and is definitely not as cool as old Nylon cover stars. I'll just have to find a NYLON replacement. Any suggestions?????

nicole richie doesn't pretend to be a saint. nylon is a magazine about style and fashion, so nicole was a great choice for the cover. like it or not, she epitomizes fashion and what is currently popular. she's a style icon.
SYDNEY
07/08/2007
Nicole has an AMAZING STYLE which has influenced what we wear and what is seen in lifestyle/fashion magazines such as NYLON. i think she is witty, honest, hilarious, adorable, on and on...
We all know this girl has been on enough magazines but the world is interested in her as am i. i will definetly pick up this issue!
Emily
07/08/2007
Nicole is way hotter and better than Paris any day. I like her and she is just herself who some people may like and other may not like. shes not fake
layla
07/08/2007
I think that even though NYLON used to have less-talked about celebrities on their covers, they're doing a good job. I agree with Dale ; NYLON is a style magazine, and they look for celebrities who can represent that, or who have something truly interesting to say. The thing that is a tad disappointing that they've now become sort of a guilty-pleasure. I enjoy reading about people like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie but perhaps I shouldn't be proud of that. The covers that disappointed me were the ones of Christina Aguilara and Avril Lavigne. Yes, NYLON DOES make everyone look great, but to me, these women have no sense of style and are not interesting to read about.Anyways, I think NYLON is doing a great job in all, and I'd love to see someone like, say Mary-Kate Olsen, on the cover.
Lauren
07/09/2007
If she doesn't have a clue why she's famous than what is she doing giving an interview? I'd rather see M.I.A. take the cover instead of the byline.

If this had been the first run of the mill cover girl it might have been interesting. But lately it seems all of your cover ladies have been ripped from the covers of of all the other book on the newstand. NYLON used to be cool, but recently it's just felt shallow and boring.
Alea
07/09/2007
I subscribed to your magazine after buying the kirsten dunst/jason schwartzman and amber tamblyn issues. Since then for the most part the cover stories have been becoming more and more the kinds of people we find in the tabloids everyday. We see enough of them as it is. Please bring back the magic from before! I know I'm not alone in this, issue after issue you publish readers letters proclaming the same thing. Listen to the readers!!!!

chryssi
07/10/2007
im kind of in the middle about this, I think nichole is a good fashion icon because she has good taste and her dads money to do it, but as far as being someone to admire, she hasnt done anything with her fame to help other people or make a difference. People like that should be admired. whats with everyone saying "she acts just like we would" .. um do YOU take 30 pills a day, not work, and kick it with paris? no shes not "just like us".. come back from LA LA land ladies

What's next? Putting Lauren Conrad from The Hills on your cover?
To me, Nylon is supposed to represent a different side of the celebrity lifestyles - putting women like Christina Ricci, Amber Tamblyn - who don't go to Hyde every night, that is what Nylon represents to me. If I wanted to read about Nicole Richie I'd head on over to perezhilton.com.

Both Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan share more than a love for giving sappy interviews. Both pay Rachel Zoe, a notorious stylist, to mix and match outfits for them.
Real style indeed.
Dear Nylon,
Put back people with something unique to contibute to society. Preferably ones that don't appear in weekly gossip magazines.

AmandaRae
07/13/2007
We as a public do not know Nicole Ritchie, so who are we to judge her? She was adopted, and that is a hard thing to go through. Anorexia is a psychological disease, and she had to suffer through it. I salute her, because that is an obstacle in itself. Pregnant? So what if she's pregnant, that doesn't make her any more or less of a person. Mean? She's not mean, she's honest. I think it took her a lot of guts to accept the cover. When you're a celeb, sure, not everyone's going to like you. But most of the time, the reason they don't like you, is based on the stereotypes, and their own ignorant opinions. YOU GO NICOLE!
Emily
07/13/2007
Nicole Richie is strange and a little wild, and I personally like her, but if I wanted to read more about her I'd go pick up some common dirty tabloid. People read Nylon to get some people who are outside of the mainstream radar . . . people who have class and lay low to get their work done. Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, they're all the same right now, a dime a dozen. Bring back Kirsten and Amber, the girls with style, and who have an allusive cleverness we can all look up to.
Shi
07/13/2007
I think you all are being a bit rough on Miss Richie. Come on, you ALL know Nicole is a style icon. I bet all of you posting on this story has AT LEAST one pair of oversized sunglasses....and who made that trent popular? Scarves as well....whether you like it or not Nicole is a style setter and sure you can go round to the newstand and pick up an US weekly or a People and read about her latest drama but real NYLON fans know that NYLON articles show a bit more of its cover stars, uncensored and true. I say read the article and if you still detest the cover than speak your peace but I have a feeling we'll all appreciate it...and so will Nicole.
Annika
07/13/2007
I love celebrities. We all love celebrities. But I thought Nylon was a magazine that gave slightly alternative celebrities a chance for the cover. Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan get all the US Weeklies and Teen Vogues they want, so why not give the cover to someone we don't see every day at the grocery store checkout?
Riley
07/13/2007
Nicole may be on every other magazine we see while waiting in line pay for groceries, at least nylon can focus on her qualities that we respect her for. Nylon has changed the way I though about Lindsay Lohan (yes, I do despise her), which I though would never be possible.
And you cant forget that Nicole is witty and fucking hilarious. I think it's a good choice of person but I would be nice to see someone who is respectable and who you never see, MATES OF STATE or

i think nichole is a breath of fresh air. she makes the way she feel's out and open, nt caring what or who is thinking or listening. she's crazy, has wonderful style, and is so beautiful. i can't wait to get this issue. reading it front to back.
as far as all of you that are putting her down trying to make her look bad. your not perfect. she is lucky. it's simple. leave her alone. she has done nothing to you and i'm sure she never will. every one has flaws her's are just in the eye of every one. i have no doubt that if you were famous people would pick you apart to, when you did nothing to them in return.
i am very excited about this issue. send it out now.
leah
07/13/2007
Nicole may not know why shes famous....but the girl has got style! let her be famous for that! once she cut herself free from Paris Hilton and her skanky influence Nicole got it right. Shes living the way she wants and that also goes for her style and attitude! she may be a drunken socialite (um, thats called "nightlife") but she is of the few that make it look GOOD! much respect.
Jelly

i think nicole richie is a great candidate for the cover of Nylon ... Nylon always has fun, quirky people on the cover & nicole definitely fits that description. She has great style & a fun personality. And what she said is right ... she definitely "fucks up" occasionally, but so does everyone else. Thanks Nylon for being so completely badass, your magazine makes my month!
kristin
07/13/2007
I too have been very disappointed with recent NYLON cover stars. After seeing Nicole Richie on the last cover I've decided that I will no longer be purchasing the magazine when they feature such lame, mainstream waifs. It is not the type of media I would like to support.

nylon is a fashion magazine that shows off unique style...and so does nicole richie,its not her fault shes so famous.
AIMEE
07/14/2007
i agree with the fans.. nicole is honest and she's got killer style. i think you found the right cover girl. go nylon!!
BEK
07/14/2007
I definitely think Nicole is 'worthy' of going on the cover, broken down:
1) She's got killer style - Nylon IS a fashion mag after all.
2) She's honest about herself and about her past
3) She's not afraid to miss the truth
4) She's got a fun-loving personality
The only component she doesnt fit is the 'talented' one - hahaha. But I reckon the rest of these make up for that.
Love her 'fucked up' comment. So true bitches.

this sucks balls! for one thing, she doesn't have "awesome fashion sense" b/c guess what, she probably has a stylist. second of all, i wouldn't label chicks who get coked out and drive on the wrong side of the freeway as respectable. at least it's not paris, but it's not much better either. i adore this magazine, but seeing lindsay lohan and nicole richie on the cover of nylon kind of makes me sick. i've seen them enough in lame-ass cosmos seventeens and whatnot. yuk.
ELLA
07/15/2007
Maybe I shouldn't be so interested, but whenever I see Nicole Richie on the cover of a magazine, I'm temmpteeddd. She has fabuulous fashion sense, and even if she does have a stylist she doesn't have to wear everything they choose, she has a brain, she can refuse, though I doubt she has a stylist because she's not famous for anything but her dad and problems lol. And as for her weight, admit it, you've all wanted to look as skinny as her before, well in some pics, most definitely not all, I know I have, I think when she has the potential to be drop-dead stunning, if she gained a few pounds, i don't want to see her ribs, but, I mean before, she was straight out fat.
whatever, shes hot.,

Gina
07/16/2007
If she doesn't even know she's famous and isnt contributing anything to the world except tabloid sales why she is on the cover on Nylon? She is only futher glamorizing what she has stood for- partying, anorexia, and getting attention for doing nothing good. If she is turning her life around and taking care of her baby- great. But why do magazines need to cover stories like that? Thousands of people turn their lives around and take care of their children. Though the cover photogrpahy is lovely-People need more than what is "in". People need to hear about other things and care about other people and things.
Ariana
07/16/2007
I think Nicole Richie is human just like anyone else. She makes mistakes, and people need to get over that. She is great for the cover, and Nylon, do not listen to all the haters. You still have plenty of people reading your magazine. Such as me. I love your magazine!
Madi
07/16/2007
I THINK NICOLE RICHIE IS FABULOS-O!!! She's fucked up so many times and admits it, unlike most people who fuckup all the time & try to hide it. Plus I love skinnyminnys. She Rules. She's super real, super beautiful, super rich, dresses amazing, partys hard, and doesn't give a fuck. I don't see why so many people are getting so rialed up over Nicole being on the cover. Some people are way too up tight. I LOVE NYLON! Obviously Nicole is amazing since she's on the cover! DUH!!!

"267 ways to rock jeans"
I find that much more worrying than Nicole. You do know that jeans are the uniform of the 21st century and that people don't exactly look unique wearing them, do you?

Blah..I have bought this magazine since its first issue...and it needs to re-edge itself in regards to it's cover choices. Nicole Richie is not a sensible role model for your demographic - even if she's popular - that dosn't deem her worthy of the cover...it seems it's still the classic culture/media slide: defining women in either the whore or the virgin...wild woman or saintly girl - there are more subtle shades of women than that...and I know that you guys are saavy enough to know that. Time to get back into BUCKING THE MAINSTREAM!!!

I cannot wait to purchase this issue. Nicole Richie is definitely one of my favorite celebrities. She's cool, hip and doesn't give a f*ck what people say about her. Girl power, is all I can say! I wish she'd eat some more because her fragile little frame is kind of scary most of the times but her style is so cool I can't help looking at photo after photo of her! Ahh, I want this issue NOW!! Thanks for being such a perfect magazine NYLON!

Let's face it - Nylon has changed over time, and will continue to change. It's definitely becoming more popular; a significantly higher amount of people are aware of the magazine and read it.
With the added revenue coming in from bigger profits, and the ability to now fund more expensive interviews, it comes as no surprise that in order to keep its growing mainstream pool, it will continue to draw from pop culture celebs and artists to continue making its money. Once it has that larger fan base who mostly like the current Nylon, it's impossible to backtrack and still keep the current subscription level.
I continue to support Nylon because it's still a great magazine (remember, the cover article is only a few pages of the whole mag!), but it's somewhat disappointing because I preferred the esoteric nature of earlier Nylons. But this was bound to happen, and I don't see Nylon going back to its former self.
And for the record, someone mentioned that they want Scarlett Johannsen on the cover...PLEASE NO. Veto. Do.Not.Want. Thankyou.

i LOVE her. she hilarious, doesn't give two flying ***** about anybody, and her style is kill. she makes fun of everybody equally, and is usually dead on the money about what's really gonna set them of. smart, bitchy, hot, reckless. no matter what anybody says, she turns heads

Nylon, get yourself out of the mainstream way of thinking. Your magazine is full of spiffy articles and photographs that I just adore, but your cover choices are making me sick. Nicole Richie is no one I will ever look up to.
And, ASHTON 7/17/2007 is right.

“I’m very happy with my life and I wouldn’t take back any mistake I’ve made because it’s made me who I am today. I don’t walk around pretending that I’m perfect, so I don’t think that anyone else should hold me to that and not expect me to fuck up occasionally. Because I do, and you do, too.”
what is this a fucking beauty pageant?! NYLON, why must you mingle with the socialites?

the cover layout and the photo is amazing, but your choice of a cover girl... forreal??? i'm sure the rest of the magazine is fabulous, but i'm disappointed. nylon is a style mag, true. nicole richie is really well-dressed, true. but there's plenty of stylish celebs out there that also have the intelligence, unique charm, and that EDGE that NYLON is supposed to represent. nylon's still a great magazine, but it's become more typical and that's just really disappointing!! we can read about nicole richie in cosmo. i understand with more popularity comes more money comes more "it girls," but please. don't lose your loyal fans.

nicole richie i can take but let's not have this be a trend with paris, britney or lauren conrad on future covers..

no matter who is on the cover, I'll probably always buy Nylon. I do, however, think you are being a bit misleading with the choices of covers this year (Nicole Ritchie, Avril, Ashley Olsen, Christina Aguilera, Lindsey Lohan) They don't really represent what Nylon is about, in my opinion of course. One of the first issues I bought was the denim issue that featured Lizzy Jagger and Theodora Richards, and it was fantastic. Maybe more "mainstream" readers will buy it because of the cover stars, and hopefully, be exposed to something interesting they're not used to by reading the rest of the magazine. I still think these cover stories are extremely misleading though. However, Nylon is the only fashion-type magazine I'll read, and I'll continue to do so unless something else besides the covers go really awry.

Whatever to people hating on Nicole Richie for being anorexic. Devaluing her for maybe having an eating disorder is the same thing as over-valuing someone for being thin; you're putting emphasis on the wrong aspect of a person: their eating habits. Let her deal with her own demons and let us enjoy her for being a f*cking hilarious ride-or-die bitch who (p.s.) makes the Simple Life actually worth watching.

I 100% agree that the magazine is not what is was for me when I first started to read it..I was looking for the fresh, new, unusual. It feels like a magazine reaching out for the masses and sales, having said Ritchie seems alright, just won't buy Nylon for her. It's a shame. Thank you for past inspiration anyway.
Thea
07/26/2007
Although I respect your magazine and enjoy that fact that you are much different, than say..Cosmo....I am dissapointed with the Cover girl choices. I havent bought Nylon in 3 months...first it was Lohan,now Ritchie??? they completely uninterest me and i think the rest of the world. Please; you dont realize how much your magazine used to mean to all of us....now i just feel like you have lost you're insight and have sold-out.

I adore Nicole Richie.
But girls, because of a magazine cover... you can't just assume the WHOLE ENTIRE magazine is going to be all on her. So if you don't like a person on the cover, don't worry, because that whole cover story/article will probubly be 3 pages long. So there's no need for cancelling subscribtions and throwing a fitsy. Music, films, fashion, literature, art. All still there! (Except for those, ya know, 3 pages!)

even though shes got a nice style, i agree with the first post and i think MIA shoulda been on the cover. the next cover better not be of britney spears of something..

i would like to read about people who are not on perez and us :( you need to stick some fresh faces up on here, it's confusing and sad to see you share cover girls with cosmo.

Wow. That's complete shit. Truly. But, I guess all good things come to an end, even Nylon. Going out with some girl who has no talent, no style, no personality, but tons of money is memorable. I guess a truly unique magazine was too much to ask for. But, hey, some got the rent paid with all of these generic nicole lovers' money.

All you bitches are just jealous you can't be like her.
It's really funny how you 'don't care' but yet you have time to sit here and portray her just like the media. All you hypocrites who want "MIA" are saying she's not so mainstream, once she hits the cover she will be and then you'll say you want someone different on the cover. So shut up and let Nicole's fans do the talking. Like I said, you're all just jealous.
Frank
08/03/2007
NYLON, why did you do a cover story with Nicole Richie? She doesn't have any talents and she's a bad role model!!!
Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie...stop featuring these dumb, slutty no talents "celebrities" and please feature smart, talented, truthful and real celebrities like you did before!!
Avery
08/04/2007
If anyone wonders why Nicole Richie is famous, it is simply because there is no real reason...she does not deserve the fame she has.
She is a sheep of Rachel Zoe, who under Zoe's advice did coke/pills/ anything she could to lose a shit load of weight, fake anorexia and become a media whore. Her fame is insulting to anyone who actually suffers from a real eating disorder. Its further proof that the once ALTERNATIVE NYLON MAG is just becoming more and more mainstream. Why dont you guys do a cover story on Lohan next, oh wait you already did..
what's next britney spear's kids?
your losing fans...
Jessica
08/05/2007
Even though Nicole originally became famous via The Simple Life and her association with Paris Hilton, I think these are two very different girls. Nicole comes across as frank, sarcastic, and funny. She DOES have great style (and FYI, Rachel Zoe does NOT style her anymore) and I actually don't hear about her partying as much as many other Hollywood "it" girls. She seems to want to be a good mother and live life on her own terms and I applaud her for that. The interview was good and she looked great. If any of these girls deserve to be on the cover of Nylon, it's Nicole. Although M.I.A. would have been an amazing cover girl as well.
Chevy
08/05/2007
Okay let's get off of Nicole and talk about the shoot. The stylist did a great job at picky outfits that define Nicole. I love the outfit with the rebel tee, skinny jeans and gold pumps. That's hott! Nicole is Nicole and I love that. She is not apologizing for who she is and is not trying to be what she's not. She's a little mixed girl living in white Hollywood doing her. "Hate it or love it" is her attitude and it's fierce! I think Nylon did a great job at picking an outcast and someone who stands out because of who she is. That is what all the people they choose for the cover have in common and I think that was forgotten by most because of the other hype surronding Nicole.
Great job Nylon!

Betsy
08/13/2007
Though I do think Nicole is pretty damn cute and I love how she's so blunt and honest, I AM a bit sick of seeing the same dozen faces everywhere. There ARE more people who deserve some attention.
(Plus, if we could all afford to have a personal stylist, we'd all be wearing some fine threads.)

08/15/2007
GOOD JOB NICOLE LOVERS!! Maybe if you keep defending her, you guys can become BFFS!! and She'll take you shopping and give you CRACK...oh wait, I'M BEING SARCASTIC
Look, nicole worshippers, I have the right to HATE HER as much as You wanna wipe her ass, she doesn't give a damn about you so there is no need in defending her. she'll be rich regardless if I like her or you do, but that doesn't give Nylon the right to upset their readers!
and NYLON HOW COULD YOU, but we still love, we will continue to read, we'll some of us, but DON'T DO IT AGAIN, don't lose your soul by trying to sell this mag to Barbie, try again. Dazed and Confused and Bust, have been out a long time and they never been commerical, but as a fashion mag we need you Nylon, DON'T DIE ON ME! (and HELL TO THE NO ABOUT PUTTING SOME OTHER BARBIE ON HER LIKE MISCHA..maybe selma blair, zooey? chloe sevigny! ARE YOU TAKING NOTES)
Why didn't you put M.I.A on the cover, BECAUSE SHE'S NOT BLONDE!? she to BROWN FOR YOU NYLON???
&stay on your side of the fence nicole lovers and read your tabloids..

08/15/2007
i think that u should b putting more interesting and original girls on cover we have teen vogue, elle girl and many magazines that kinda do the job of having regular stars on their covers n they do the job quite fine. so why don´t u return to basics, to being original, not just copying world-wide teen mags.
bitty
08/27/2007
if nicole richie and lindsey lohan are idols for you girls, im scared to see were our generation is going.
but it was a great shoot, none the less. i dont think nicole is a very attractive girl, but these pictures of her are amazing. i rather see someone more interesting on the cover though, because we read about nicole and paris and britney ALL THE TIME.

To my dearest Nylon magazine, i love you to death,.. but despite my love for miss richie, i personally prefer M.I A for the covergirl. She's different, and also brought some fresh air into music industry!!!
