Summary

Non-free media data
Description	The cover of the August 1993 issue of Vanity Fair, depicting k.d. lang and Cindy Crawford
Source	Vanity Fair website Photographer is Herb Ritts.
Portion used	Image shown in its entirety.
Low resolution?	It is a low resolution image.

Non-free media rationale for Lesbian
Article	Lesbian
Purpose of use	The image is used for informational and educational purposes only, and it is not believed that its use in the article Lesbian infringes upon the rights of the copyright holder. The image is iconic as a magazine cover featuring a highly glamorous pose of k.d. lang and Cindy Crawford that is described as "an internationally recognized symbol of the phenomenon of lesbian chic" by a reliable source used in the article (see Hamer). It is used in the Lesbian article to illustrate a discussion about the erosion of invisibility of lesbians to be replaced by selective packaging of women aimed primarily at heterosexual men.
Replaceable?	The image is used because words are insufficient in relaying the cultural ideas presented in the magazine cover.
