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.)

@Chris Molanphy: Don’t forget, Ciara’s last album was called The Evolution too! Wiki sez hers sold 1.2 as of July ‘07, but who knows if that’s true. Either way, Thicke’s last album probably sold more, but Ciara has 2 big albums and way more radio hits, so her profile’s much higher overall. The weird part is that his album is out this month and the first single’s climbing the charts, but hers is due in December and the lead single’s been leaked once and then changed to another as-yet-unreleased song, so she’s just barely ramping up promo for her album.
@Chris Molanphy: @Al Shipley: But none of this changes the fact that naked guys don’t really sell magazines the way naked chicks do.
@Maura Johnston: This is the part where I make a joke about Ciara’s alleged mannishness.
Ciara: about to lose control all over the floor.
huh. there’s one way to battle those pesky “she’s-a-man” rumors.
Anyone have Soundscan handy and can tell us how much the sophomore Ciara album ended up selling? I’ll bet Evolution of Robin Thicke beats it.
Not that that would help him with his dude problem.
