EASY LIVING MAGAZINE (APRIL ISSUE): AMY WINEHOUSE

March 21, 2008

Photograph: Carolyn Djangoly This photograph of Amy Winehouse will feature in the April issue of ‘Easy Living Magazine’. It’s aim? to raise breast cancer awareness among young women. Amy standing holding a guiter, naked, with black tape covering her nipples.. hmmmmmmmmmm….. O…K…….and how exactly does this image raise awareness? This just reminds of me of the annual “raise awareness” testicular cancer campaign.

And that’s why I can’t understand why he would allow Vogue to feature him with supermodel Gisele Bundchen in […]

She toiled in her homeland for years trying to get her career off the ground, and the UK music industry more […]
