When you call an issue of your magazine the ‘Erotic Issue,’ it means you’re most likely going to put something erotic in it. The 160g Magazine ‘Erotic Issue’ does that and goes a bit beyond with a really strange assortment of fashion, art, and sex symbolism in a spread called ‘And the Villain Still Pursues Her.’

The 160g Magazine Erotic Issue shot by Pamela Reed and Matthew Rader features model Jenny Sweeney in Marie Antoinette-themed styling with dramatic bouffants, stunning couture gowns, and a white face with super-rouged cheeks. But it doesn’t stop there. In place of heads on a couple of figures are phallic-like plants that move—literally—seemingly chasing after ‘Marie’ in a garden of menacing flowers.
