What about Lady Gaga?

Her October Harper's Bazaar, which featured a Gaga close-up without any makeup, sold only 119,000 copies, its third worst seller of the year. Last year, Jessica Simpson went without makeup for Marie Claire and it was one of its biggest bombs of the year. But when Gaga got all dolled up, she worked: Her March Vogue cover was its second best seller of the year and her May Harper's Bazaar cover did far better than its autumn counterpart: It sold 159,000 copies, its third best of the year.
