Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Rachel Bloom has been skewering unrealistic expectations of women (set by both men and women) and debunking sex myths for years. But now, the actress, singer, and comedian has a new platform: a musical magazine cover.
For the cover of the fall issue of Allure, Bloom wrote a superb song about the male gaze, the reality of female orgasms, and the fact that no magazine "tips" will get you Angelina Jolie's tresses.
It's pretty bold of Allure to run Bloom's superb lampooning of women's magazine covers, as a women's magazine publishing how-to beauty and sex tips.
In an accompanying article, Allure said they asked Bloom "to produce a song that sheds light on the countless misconceptions surrounding cover shoots and expectations versus reality without shaming the beauty processes themselves, since plenty of us simply love doing them for ourselves."
