When it came time to shoot Miley Cyrus' Paper magazine cover, creative director Diane Martel — who previously collaborated with Cyrus on her "We Can't Stop" video — required little in the way of props. That's because Martel had her hands full with two cover stars: the dynamic Miley Cyrus and her pet pig, Bubba Sue. "In addition to her shoot co-star... there was a glass pyramid, some body paint and very little clothing," the magazine revealed in its online preview of Cyrus' cover. The result? A very smiley, naked Miley hugging Bubba Sue.
The cover story preview also includes a choice quote from Cyrus. "I was doing a show two nights ago, and I was wearing butterfly nipple pasties and butterfly wings. I'm standing there with my tits out, dressed like a butterfly. How the fuck is that fair? How am I so lucky?"
As Cyrus is the cover star of Paper's "Use Your Voice" issue, her activism is the main focus of the feature. She discusses her Happy Hippie Foundation, a nonprofit that benefits homeless and LGBT youth, and "a fluid sexual identification that connects her personal life with her social-justice dreams." The complete interview, which promises an "unapologetic, shit-kicking Miley," comes out tomorrow.
Dare I say, Miley Cyrus can't stop... Or is it that she won't stop? (Paper)
