Time Cover

"Beyoncé, Time magazine's Most Influential Person of 2014, covers the issue in what appears to be a bathing suit covered by a sheer shift. That's annoying on many levels. Why is the most influential person of the year half-clothed? As Brogan Driscoll at Huffington Post observed,

"Thigh-high boots, corsets, the teeniest of short shorts may be Beyoncé's look du jour, but do they really have a place on Time magazine's cover?...Bey says Time magazine's recognition is important 'because it's not about fashion or beauty or music; it's about the influence I've had on culture.' So why does she have to come half-dressed?"

There are three other alternate covers for the Most Influential Person of 2014 issue: Robert Redford, Jason, Collins, and Mary Barra, all of whom are fully clothed. I could not resist painting them all with the same brush, so to speak. Below is Bey's cover.
