Eva Covers ‘Marie Claire’!

August 8, 2008

Eva Mendes looks divine as she graces the cover of the September issue of Marie Claire magazine. Below is a preview of the article:

Every time I mention the name Eva Mendes to another guy, he gets this stupid grin on his face while, no doubt, fantasizing: Eva Mendes mowing his lawn. Eva Mendes juicing kale in his kitchen. But when I mention Eva’s name to a woman, the response is almost a nonresponse. “Oh,” the woman will invariably say, “she’s . . . really pretty.” Coming from a woman, this is not necessarily a compliment, which isn’t to say it’s not a fact. At 33, Eva Mendes is uniquely pretty, Revlon-commercial pretty, the-new-face-of-Calvin-Klein-underwear pretty — but, as a matter of conversational reflex, one woman calling another woman “really pretty,” and only that, is also a way of outright dismissing her. What these women really mean when they remark on Eva’s bone structure and skin tone is that she is not an intimate in the Sarah Jessica Parker/Jennifer Aniston sense. She is that suspect thing, a guy’s girl — who stars in movies for dudes, about dudes (2 Fast 2 Furious, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Training Day, Ghost Rider), with all that implies. But if Eva has her way, this is about to change.
