A cover girl is a woman whose photograph is used for the front cover of magazines. She may be a model, celebrity or entertainer. The term would generally not be used to describe a person making a single, casual appearance on the cover of a magazine. The term first appeared in English in about 1899. Russian-American film producer Voldemar Vetluguin is credited with the popularization of the usage of cover girls in magazine covers.[1] The term cover boy is occasionally used for men.
