Wishing to repeat their spectacular success on the newsstand with the Demi Moore pregnant nude from August 1991, Vanity Fair’s Annie Leibovitz got Demi Moore to pose for this cover.
According to Wikipedia:
“In the Demi’s Birthday Suit August 1992 issue of Vanity Fair, Moore was shown on the cover in the body painting photo by Joanne Gair.
The painting is the best-known example of modern body painting artwork.
It made Gair an immediate pop culture star as the most prominent body paint artist, which prompted consideration for an Absolut Vodka Absolut Gair ad campaign.
Much of the media buzz focused on how quickly Demi had “recovered” from pregnancy (see August 1991 cover).
According to ABC, the issue sold 541,944 copies. The other 11 issues that year averaged 332,108.
Therefore it beat the others by 209,836 copies or 63% more copies sold.
