nude virgin mary

A nude Virgin Mary on the cover of the Mexican edition of Playboy magazine has prompted an apology by Playboy after local outrage.

The edition was published only days before a major Mexican festival dedicated to the Virgin Mary and showed a model wearing nothing but a white cloth over her head and breasts.

The phrase on the cover reads “We Love You, Maria” in Spanish (Maria being Mary is Spanish), although the model’s name is Maria Florencia Onori.

Playboy Enterprises said the Mexican edition of the magazine is published by a licensee, and the company did not approve or endorse the cover. Playboy Mexico said in a statement, “The image is not and never was intended to portray the Virgin of Guadalupe or any other religious figure. The intent was to reflect a Renaissance-like mood on the cover.

    To the playboy bunny
    Who made some money
    By wearing cloth over her head
    Although that many do proclaim
    Your act is of evil, all the same,
    Remember you have done no such thing
    Some do turn from such a sight
    And put it down with all their might
    As these persons scream and shout
    Tell you what its all about
    They want you to feel such a shame
    For the evil they see you have claimed
    Yet you have done no such thing
    Life has not yet been picked apart
    For those who know to throw their darts
    From your image I saw grace
    No disgrace nor any evil ways
    Only light that you’ve shined today
