V Man Overcomplicates The Nudity In Their Magazine

We get it, V Man. You want to stay classy, but you're a high concept fashion/art magazine aimed at men. You're competing with GQ, and GQ has no problem with displaying semi-naked ladies, so you have to up the ante. That's fine! Just be real about it.

We should explain what we're picking at. This article, called "The Lover," opens with this blurb:

"A romantic relationship is a complex thing, full of intimacy and openness. It's often difficult to document, but when one is a photographer and the other a muse, we see real love in real life."

Wow, really? Because it just looks like some naked pictures of a few girls. We can understand how that expresses intimacy (your naked girlfriend in a private moment) and openness (the fact that everyone can now see your naked girlfriend), but trying to claim that this communicates real love? V, please. In a different context, and with a lower quality camera, this could be something you find on those tacky EX-GF Revenge type places.

That being said, all these models are gorgeous, and we appreciate you sharing them with us. Keep it real, V Man.
