Some people are calling recent pics of Eva Mendes appearing in Italian Vogue more trashy, or even sleazy, rather than sexy. I think people are just looking to create buzz and feed off the Miley Cyrus photo scandal myself. I mean come on.
Eva Mendes isn't new to provacative photoraphy. Despite turning down offers from Playboy, Eva Mendes appeared naked in Flaunt Magazine. Although her breasts weren't exposed, readers did get to see her bare back and bum. Mendes said about the shoot, "I actually did a little nude shot. You won't see anything. I was covering myself... but I love Flaunt. I think their artwork is some of the best artwork out there as far as photography is concerned, so I took it off. I felt really comfortable,it was fun. There's something really liberating about it."
Also, in December 2007, Eva Mendes posed nude for the anti-fur campaign of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) alongside the tagline "Fur? I'd rather go naked." Mendes is also a spokesmodel for the 2008 Calendar of Campari, inspired in fairy tales, by photographer Marino Parisotto.
