Cosmopolitan Touts Mannequin/Actress for Loving Intercourse Toys, Hating Labels

Cosmopolitan journal’s July/August cowl story says “Cara Delevingne ‘actually’ desires to speak to you about intercourse toys.” Inside, a pull quote gushes “Cara is extraordinarily, endearingly excited to TALK ABOUT VIBRATORS.” The British mannequin is now a associate in a sex-toy enterprise. It is an ideal match for sex-obsessed Cosmo.

Author Katie Heaney touts Delevingne as a lesbian position mannequin of types:

The final time Cara was within the information for a intercourse toy—sure, there was a final time—it was an all-caps Each day Mail headline saying her buy of a “SEX BENCH” with then-girlfriend Ashley Benson. The images of them carrying the SEX BENCH into their West Hollywood dwelling lit up queer girls’s group texts in all places, together with my very own. There was one thing so joyful in watching two well-known, lovely girls giggle as they schlepped intercourse gear into their home.

What’s most fascinating on this smutty piece is how she desires to be celebrated as “pansexual and gender-fluid,” however she doesn’t actually need to be outlined as something, it’s simply so confining:

It’s that difficult situationship Well-known Folks Who Are Position Fashions have with stated fame: Cara desires to be the aspirational illustration she wanted rising up, however that collides with desirous to be freed from the smothering downsides of being a public determine. Take, for example, when Cara got here out as pansexual and gender-fluid somewhat over a yr in the past.
