But beyond the makeup and underwear of the publication's pin-up photos rests the many criteria - and headaches - of selecting and scheduling the scantily clad celebrities who will grace the magazine's cover. Mike Hammer, the magazine's editor in chief, spoke last night to students of the course Celebrity Journalism: Beyond the Red Carpet, or TRF 500. He discussed the qualifications and dilemmas of selecting cover models and offered insight into the inner workings of the magazine. The selection of the cover model is especially important, Hammer said, because the cover is what attracts people to buy the magazine off the newsstand, and unlike most magazines, Stuff's survival depends on newsstand sales, as opposed to subscription sales. If an issue flies off newsstand shelves, advertisers pay attention, Hammer said, and will continue to purchase ads - but a person will only buy the magazine if he or she sees a cover model that attracts attention. "We follow the three second rule," Hammer said. "We have three seconds to capture their attention. The cover model is the biggest sell of all."
