"my first cover model refused to allow her photo printed with the word "whore" on the cover, even to advertise the interview with the editor of "Whores and Other Feminists." Too much stigma attached. Who knew who would see it? Strange, that's what the interview is about. Other stigmas detached inside. P.S. So's your mama."
