Retail giants Barnes & Noble and Borders are refusing to display the latest cover of fashion magazine Dossier Journal, because it features androgynous male model Andrej Pejic shirtless, according to reports. Elle magazine writes that bookstores have asked for all copies of the magazine to be censored, placed in opaque plastic bags, because Pejic, 19, looks "too much like a woman."
Dossier Co-Founder and Creative Director Skye Parrott spoke with Huffington Post saying only American bookstores are complaining. "It's a naked man on the cover of a magazine, which is done all of the time without being covered up, so I definitely don't think it merits this, but I understand what it is," Parrott told The Huffington Post. "It's not a coincidence that it's only the giant U.S. chain stores that are asking us to do this...It's only the American copies that are being censored."
Parrott believes censoring the cover will limit sales, but more than that
