# Disturbing Photo Shoots Janet in New BlackBook By mediterranean | Published 2008-03-21 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/janet-blackbook References: [blackbookmag](http://www.blackbookmag.com/features/comments/janet-jacksons-diffrent-strokes/) Janet Jackson is on the front cover and inside the April 2008 issue of **BlackBook** magazine in a pretty kinky and weird photoshoot by Matthew Rolston. Carrying over the theme of "Discipline" from her [latest album](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-of-a-showgirl), Janet is disciplined on the cover by being trapped inside a cage wearing a [skin-tight latex top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) by Polymorphe with [Giuseppe Zanotti boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-x-metallica). Another disalarming shot shows Miss Jackson with her mouth wide open wearing a frightening S&M metal headgear. We have come to expect nothing less than such over the top fierceness from Janet, and she does not disappoint. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 91% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Kinky Photo Shoots:** Opportunity for photographers to explore unconventional themes in order to stand out in a crowded industry. - **Discipline-inspired Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate the theme of discipline into their products to appeal to consumers who are looking to make a statement. - **Fierce Celebrity Images:** Brands can align themselves with popular celebrities who are not afraid to push boundaries to create edgy and captivating content. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Accessories:** Fashion brands can create lines inspired by unconventional themes that appeal to those looking for something different. - **Photography:** Photographers can differentiate themselves by exploring alternative themes and producing captivating content. - **Celebrity Endorsement:** Brands can align themselves with celebrities who showcase edgy and boundary-pushing content to capture consumer attention. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Archive-Inspired Retro Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-collection.md) - [Singer-Centric Graphic Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billie-eilish-capsule.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Limited-Edition Designer-Forward Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-market.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Surprise Album Reveals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-of-a-showgirl.md)
