I am beginning to suspect that faux pas like title-over-face is done deliberate to end up on LBC for free publicity. It is a plot by bad cover designers to exploit Nathan.

The Summer issue of The Young Madonna mail-order fashion catalog features the hottest new accessories: the Donkey-leg Tie, for those formal occasions when you know he is going to make an *** of himself; the Goat-Roper Wrist Necklace, includes a 50-foot extension that doubles as a fishing line (winch attachment available at extra cost); and the I. M. Pei-designed Louvre Bra, recipient of the Young Madonna Seal of Approval (may not be suitable for older Madonnas).
Sorry, but I just GOTTA ask: where did yon hopeful bestseller come up with an image of an underage girl in a bra, anyway???? I mean, those of you in the biz already know that the bulk of the Vicky’s models are 14. (If you don’t already know that, sorry to break it to you, gents.) So…from whence cometh the young madonna, anyway?
(And..is this Madonna like Our Holy Mother of whatever, or, as in the singer? Anyone know?)
Well, if you read the description at the link, it’s apparently the Our Holy Mother of Jesus version. With all the modern-looking setting and adornment on the cover, though, I can’t help hearing the singer’s “Dress You Up” running through my head…
Probably not that young; my estimate would be that she’s actually about 16 (a common age for girls to start acting and modeling careers). Due to the Dawson Creek Effect, people have a tendency to underestimate real teens’ ages. This gal could probably get away with playing a 13-year-old on TV or in movies quite easily, even if it’s been a few years since the picture was taken.
Of course, I could be wrong; none of the specifications on the original stock image mention the gal’s age. Curiously, the term “anti-ageing” [sic] appears among the keywords describing the picture. Maybe she’s actually 19, and the photographers were originally using her to advertise some beauty product promising to take 6 years off its user’s apparent age.

Exactly my first thought. Too bad she doesn’t have glasses, the ‘n’ on her nose almost look like it could hold one.

Exactly my thought. I was going to mention that the girl looks like a 12 year old wearing far too much makeup for her age.
NOW I have an earworm. I keep hearing the Beatles, with “Lady Madonna.” DRAT you all!
I suspect the Young Madonna target audience is Madonna Wannabe. Our Holy Mother of Retro Pop Culture Saturation

what? did the cover designer key off “madonna” in the title and get the wrong madonna?
Oh, Lucida Handwriting, how much evil hath you wrought.
I am compelled to confess–just TODAY, we hd a book go out with…gulp…Lucida HW. I swear, I tried to talk them out of it, but…{sob}, the SHAME of it!
And, yes: my best guestimate is 13. 13 y.o., w/makeup and general fluffery. (AHEM…Fluffer, anyone?).

Eh, we report, you decide…
I never saw Joe (the patron saint of cuckolds) as a tuxedo guy.
