Stab’s Nude Cover Controversy

Stab Controversy

Stab Magazine is making the news for the controversial cover on their new issue. It features a naked woman covered by her arms with the cover lines written on her… The controversy? She’s only 16. Her name is Ella Rose Corby from Queensland and she was the winner of a modeling competition Stab held recently. Stab writer Mike Jennings told the Tweed Daily, “They’re moving into womanhood and they know it. They dress older, sneak into clubs and are easily mistaken as adults. And as girls in their early twenties try and hang onto their teenage beauty, lines are blurred and we’re left confused. You can leer at the 16-year-old as you would an adult woman, so long as you’re ignorant … Once you become aware of their age you must look away.” Head over here for the article… What do you think?
