If I had any doubt in my mind that Jessica Simpson might have been born a dude, this indeed confirms everything I believed in.

According to Gatecrasher:

The songbird re-creates a famous March 1965 cover image of Italian actress Virna Lisi (looking almost identical to Marilyn Monroe) taking a razor to shaving cream on her jaw. But the original was intended by legendary Esquire designer George Lois as a provocation to women’s lib. He told a 2005 magazine conference: “I spoofed the upcoming woman’s movement by slapping shaving cream on the beautiful blond Italian actress Virna Lisi [because] no American beauty had the [bleeps] to pose for it.”

OK, I mean, the wigs, the hobo look were my first clues. But this magazine cover is it. My mission in life has now been accomplished. Now the only thing I have left is a sudden urge to buy whipped cream.
