- June/July 2011 Issue Features Rick Ross and Amber Rose on Split Covers -

(BLACK PR WIRE)--NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VIBE’s June/July 2011 Sexy Issue (on newsstands June 12th) takes a look at SEX and how it impacts what music we listen to, what we wear, what we drive and who we vote for.

Rapper Rick Ross gathers his Maybach Music Group for a late night confessional of groupie love, stamina and giving back (sexually) to the community in “Group Sex.” Model Amber Rose discusses her relationships with Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa, her stripping days and her future as an icon in “Amber Rose’s Life Doesn’t Suck.”

Lil' Kim’s relevance in today’s music world is debated by the Queen Bee’s closest friends and business associates in a expose touching upon losing the love of her life (Notorious B.I.G.), serving jail time, reinventing her look and trying to take the spotlight back from heir apparent Nicki Minaj.

On the international front, “Golden Girls” examines Mexico City’s geriatric prostitutes, still peddling the saggy and wrinkled flesh at ages 60-94, hoping for customers every few days to support themselves and their co-workers too sick to hustle.

“Sex is something powerful that appeals to all people regardless of race, culture or religion,” said Brett Wright, Chief Creative Officer of Vibe Lifestyle Network. “VIBE felt it was time to show who has made a lasting impact.”

“The definition of sexy is very individual,” said VIBE Editor-in-Chief Jermaine Hall. “For some, its borderline misogynistic crass lyrics. For others, it’s a sexting a new partner, piloting a drop top or the old school appeal of a Barry White song.”
