Merely to play devil's advocate in this suddenly-interesting discussion, I'd point out that the prime demographic for Cosmopolitan and countless other fitness/fashion/society magazines with often-scantily-clad women on the cover is likely middle-aged women as well. I think it's wrong to assume even the majority of women would inherently be turned off by such a cover as Mata Hari's when they're already happily buying similarly packaged products already.
On a personal note, though, I will say that the
teaser art is a hillion jillion times sexier than the box art.
Also, hi dtp Chris! Long time no see. Good to see you again, even if it took a controversy to lure you in.
