So, it’s not the cover she was hoping for, but this sultry photoshoot featuring AnnaLynne McCord is nothing to sneeze at. Unless that’s just your natural reaction to that sort of thing.

Of course, all this sultry posing is set against the backdrop of an austere brick wall and concrete because contrast is sexy, y’all.
