Handymen and bikinis

handyman.jpgWhat’s this girl got to do with Handyman magazine? I guess she is dressing for the DIY pool/outdoor story. I wonder what will be next – bikini girls draped around roses on the cover of gardening magazines? I am no prude, far from it.

I see this cover on Handyman as visually lazy. If you need a bikini girl to sell a handyman magazine what does it say for the content?

    Mark, Talk about visually lazy you really do need to do something about your content. It has taken almost 6 years for a reply to be dredged up. Come on you can do better than that.??!!!

    When I get a (largely undressed) girl on the front of e.g. a motorcycle mag I usually say “you don’t get the girl when you buy that bike sir” and it causes a little
    bit of mirth (maybe only to me because I have a strange sense of humour)

    Every time I look at the cover of the latest issue of “Aussie Boar Hunter” I find myself wondering did that girl really hunt and kill that pig wearing that bikini? And if so were does she carry her knife?

    Steve, I’ve often commented to staff and customers re the aggressive, violent women who wear bikini’s and carry big guns, funny no blokes seem to go pig hunting judging by the magazine covers. LoL
