Does "one model not listed above" INCLUDE Michael Phelps smoking a bong?

Silly me...must have been "one model not listed above."

Actually, that made me think of a possible clarification point....I think this should refer to the "featured cover model." If there is a small insert with another model in the corner or something like that, it wouldn't settle as "more than one model (being on the cover)" Maybe that's a no-brainer, but thought it might be worth pointing out in advance and avoid a possible headache later.

Mr. P
I'm glad you brought that up. Tons of magazines utilize additional insets on their front covers. Maybe my ugly ones will make the cover after all. :)

Only if you picked Bar. Turns out the "favorite" got the cover after all.
I tried to post a picture of the cover in the settlement details but it didn't take for some reason. There is a link, however.
I had also found a different page that showed the cover with comments. One of the first comments was "I don't see what the big deal is." I thought maybe it was you under a different name. lol

Nope, I only play under one name. Now, my alter ego on the other hand....... Just kidding.

My ugly ones did not win? Like they say, there's always next year. Now I need to go get my glasses fixed.
