# Blatant Mag Remixes 'An Honest Cosmopolitan Cover' is a Mock of the Popular Read By Carly Foy | Published 2011-06-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/an-honest-cosmopolitan-cover References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrismenning/an-honest-cosmopolitan-cover) & [remiel.info](http://remiel.info/post/6118028039/a-cosmopolitan-magazine-cover-parody-barely-by) Remiel's 'An Honest Cosmopolitan Cover' manages to portray his disdain for the Cosmopolitan magazine. The picture features a Rihanna cover from March 2009 and is severely altered to create blatant truths of the headlines. Remiel has said of his cover, "I’ve been sitting on this thing for almost a year because every time I return to it, I worry Cosmo’s already so absurd, it’s impossible to satirize them. Finally, I just decided to add some “FUCK”s to make it obvious, and call it done." An Honest Cosmopolitan Cover takes a look at how the magazine glorifies sexuality and mocks it. With the headline of "The Word Va-Jay-Jay on The Cover In Large Pink Letters" shows Remiel's true feelings towards the magazine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Remixed Covers:** Artistic and satirical depictions of popular magazine covers, revealing the true nature of the content. - **Subversive Art:** Artistic expression that challenges societal norms and mainstream media representation. - **Social Commentary Art:** Art that addresses social and political issues in a creative and visually appealing manner. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Media and Publishing:** Opportunities for media/publishing companies to incorporate provocative art into their magazines and websites, forming deeper connections with their readers. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunities for advertising and marketing firms to partner with artists and promote provocative campaigns that challenge traditional advertising. - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for art and design companies to explore and support subversive artists and promote their work through various channels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Relaunched NSFW Digital Publications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playboy-magazine-1.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Creative Ad Responses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiehls-response.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Limited-Edition Erotica Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md) - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md) - [Provocative Can Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/provocative-can-design.md)
