“Oh hell no…” Psylocke groaned. “How awkward to have a ‘Your prettiest hair in 2 minutes’ tagline on the cover when the cover subject has such a gross mess on her head. Also, why the depressing grey background à la US Vogue? Especially when you put Nicki Minaj on the cover? This all makes no sense.”
Miss Dalloway wasn’t a fan either. “This is horrible, I don’t like anything about this cover,” she commented. “The unzipped jacket is so unnecessary and not something I wanted to see, and the hair is just nasty!”
MulletProof fell into a different camp. “Raunchy. I love you, Nicki,” she declared.
Visualoptimism posted: “It’s actually not so bad! She looks pretty decent and her hair looks good just like that. I also really like the colors and the yellow font.”
I kind of love this stripped down version of Nicki. I think it’s great that she’s willing to put her self-made image aside and really succumb to the vision of magazine editors and stylists. She’s allowing them to express their artistic freedom and I respect that. She’s not hiding behind her makeup and she’s not afraid to sort of lift the veil and show us another side of her.
