Another follow-up to the kerfuffle over Robin Thicke maybe being too white for the cover of Vibe: Perhaps dude was just, uh, too much of a dude? Because I just got a press release touting the fact that the next issue’s cover features a “tasteful” nude shot of Ciara. Said release uses the phrases “bares her body and soul” and “revealing, never-before-seen photos” in its first paragraph, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, makes a “Goodies” pun in its headline. (Click the thumbnail for the sorta-SFW image, and try not to focus on the awful Payless platforms the stylist made her wear.)
