NYLON Trivia: Boys Like Girls
Despite being 66.66% male, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs only had one member of their band – the female one, Karen O – on this month’s cover of NYLON.
What can we say; she’s too gorgeous and we couldn’t help ourselves.
(Sorry Nick, but we think you’re way cute, too.)
Despite that, there have been a few instances – a very few – where a guy sneaks onto the front of our magazine.
Can you name the first dude to score a NYLON cover?*
And can you list, in any order you want, every guy to appear on a NYLON cover since then?
The first one to do it gets… something. Something good.
[*This doesn't include covers of NYLON Guys, though if you really need to know, the first person on that cover, ever, was the actor Michael Pitt.]
