Following its Internet-busting May Issue cover, which featured a very topless Rihanna, Lui Magazine tapped Gisele Bundchen for the front of its June edition. Photographed by Mert & Marcus, the supermodel poses nude in a pool, straddling a giant inflatable red whale. Gisele looks bronzed and beautiful, of course, and the overall effect screams summer, but… what’s up with the whale? Lui may be a lad magazine, but it’s a creatively ambitious one. And inserting a red phallus substitute into a nude photo of Gisele — a.k.a. She Who Needs No Help In the Sex Appeal Department — seems like a lazy choice.
