In the competitive world of magazine covers, you're nobody unless you've posed with an animal. But while animals make excellent props, if you thought the fashion industry was fickle, the career of a fashion animal in fashion is comparably merciless. Foxes? Replaced by owls. Owls? Eclipsed by tortoises. Horses? Mate, 2009's on the phone and it wants its various equidae memes back. So which animals are most photogenic? And which ones best suit your message? Ask Miley Cyrus, who appears on the cover of Paper magazine with pet pig, Bubba Sue. Not an outlandish move for a magazine that attempted to break the internet with a naked Kim Kardashian, yet this cover has gone viral because Bubba Sue does excellent duckface and, in a fun twist, appears to be shoulder-robing Miley Cyrus like a naked, pop-y jacket. You're welcome, Peta!
