[Frank W. Baker]

It's no secret that magazines succeed or bomb based on their cover girls. Teams of editors dissect the trends to figure out whose visage screams "Buy me!" before emblazoning covers with them.  HuffPost examines magazines that predominantly feature women to see how much diversity these cover girls represent. Tallying from September 2012 to September 2013, HP added up the total number of white women and women of color and found some alarming stats -- in other words, the covers featured predominantly white ladies.
