Who can ever forget the first time they saw this:
*sigh* no matter how many times I see this cover, I still have the same reaction I did when I first saw it back in February – just takes my breath away. No surprise AT ALL that it sold 67,000 copies. Here is all the info:
Reality Check on Details cover:
The best-selling issue from the Jan/Jun 2010 rate base period, this sexy cover sold 67,000 copies…33% more than their overall average for the statement. It also sold 14% more copies than the same time slot in 2009. I’m sure the 10th Anniversary sky bar didn’t hurt the sale either.
According to ASME copy, “Details wanted to, in the words of photographer Norman Jean Roy, transform Pattinson from “teen-idol vampire boy into a more adult version of himself.” To achieve that, creative director Rockwell Harwood decided to rent a gothic mansion outside of Los Angeles, hire several female models who were willing to spend an entire day naked and dress a 23-year-old British heartthrob in high-end designer clothing.”.
I know I speak for the majority of us when I say how much I love this shoot. Seriously how anyone could not appreciate the beauty and tastefulness of this shoot I will never understand. Ah Norman Jean Roy, how we love you. Any chance of some more outtakes – pretty please??? Thanks so much to our good friend, the lovely Suze at our elite affie In A Pattinson State Of Mind for the tip. Here are just a couple more gorgeous pics to help reminisce *sigh*
a copy of this magazine sits proudly next to my vanity fair magazine lol
