A cover girl is a woman whose photograph features on the front cover of a magazine. She may be a model, celebrity or entertainer. The term would generally not be used to describe a casual, once-off appearance by a person on the cover of a magazine. The term first appeared in English about 1899. A less commonly used antonym is cover boy. == Types of cover girl == Women are on the cover of the majority of general-interest magazines in the west for both men and women, with exceptions as discussed below. Celebrities feature on the cover of magazines such as ''Redbook'' for women, or ''Gentlemen's Quarterly'', ''Maxim'' or ''Esquire'' for men. The use of royalty or aristocracy is linked to the primary objective of recognition. Some magazines for women feature an unknown model that represents the style of the magazine, such as ''Seventeen''. A parallel to this trend is reflected in men’s magazines like ''Men's Fitness'' or ''Sports Illustrated''. An intermediate category is the use of a model or supermodel who is recognizable due to exposure in magazines or advertising, a strategy often adopted by ''ELLE'' magazine. In most cases, the objective is to maximize sales and differentiation, while also expressing the brand values of the title. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cover girl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
