More Demi Moore or the August 1991 Vanity Fair cover was a controversial handbra nude photograph of then seven-months pregnant Demi Moore taken by Annie Leibovitz for the August 1991 cover of Vanity Fair to accompany a cover story about Moore.
In 1991, Demi Moore was a budding A-list film star who had been married to Bruce Willis since 1987. The couple had had their first child Rumer Willis in 1988, and they had hired three photographers for an audience of six friends for the delivery.[7][8] In 1990, she had starred in that year's highest-grossing film, Ghost, for which she was paid $750,000, and she had earned $2.5 million for 1991 roles in The Butcher's Wife and Mortal Thoughts. Following the photo, she would earn $3 million for her 1992 role in A Few Good Men and $5 million apiece for roles in Indecent Proposal (1993), Disclosure (1994) and The Scarlet Letter (1995).[8]
Annie Leibovitz had been chief photographer at Rolling Stone from 1973 until 1983, when she moved to Vanity Fair. In 1991, she had the first mid-career show, Annie Leibovitz Photographs 1970-1990, ever given a photographer by the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., with a similarly titled accompanying book.[9] The show traveled to New York City at the International Center of Photography for a showing that would run until December 1, 1991.[10]
In the Demi's Birthday Suit August 1992 issue of Vanity Fair, Moore was shown on the cover in the body painting photo by Joanne Gair.[28] It made Gair an immediate pop culture star as the most prominent body paint artist, which prompted consideration for an Absolut Vodka Absolut Gair ad campaign.[29] The 1992 cover, which required a thirteen-hour sitting for Gair and her team of make-up artists, was a commemoration of the August 1991 photo. Leibovitz could not decide where to shoot, and reserved two mobile homes, four hotel rooms and five houses.[11]
Two months after the photo's publication, it was parodied on the cover of The Sensational She-Hulk #34 in October 1991. The cover features She-Hulk, a character known for breaking the fourth wall and parodying pop culture, in the same pose as Moore with a green beach ball in place of the baby bump, while telling the reader "It's not fair to accuse me of vanity! I just thrive on controversy!" [42]
As that PGA Championship at Crooked Stick unfolded in August 1991, a growing legion of supporters awestruck and flabbergasted, lined each hole like a parade route. They roared and gave Daly ovations at every green.
"You don't have to believe what happened at Crooked Stick last week," John Garrity wrote. "You can accept as fiction the news that an unknown Arkansas pro named John Daly bludgeoned a golf course into submission on his way to a three-shot victory in the 1991 PGA Championship."
"John Daly is different. He's the kind of a kid gray-haired groupies want to adopt, the kind of a guy younger gals in the gallery want to take home for their own," said Fuson. "And, he's the kind of buddy guys down at the neighborhood watering hole would want to join for a few brewskies."

TRACE was a NASA small explorer mission to collect high resolution images of the solar corona, transition region, and photosphere in order to study the solar magnetic field. Images from TRACE have contributed to more than 1000 scientific publications. Details about the mission as well as an extensive image gallery can be viewed here.
But the pictures below, which can be seen in a small exhibition at London's Gimpel Fils Gallery, tell a rather different story. In them, Moss embodies a lively, lovely spirit of girlish innocence. She also looks recognisably like a girl from Croydon. The exhibition focuses on two 1991 fashion stories from The Face magazine: "Heaven is Real" and "Borneo". In the first, Day evoked the intense joys of teenage female friendship, while the second feels like a series of beautifully composed holiday snaps: Moss is seen wandering down the road in flip-flops, wearing a snorkel and making friends with the local kids. 041b061a72
