Joanna Newsom Tells Paper A Penis Joke, Wears Pretty Clothes

thumbnail icon: Joanna Newsom Tells Paper A Penis Joke, Wears Pretty Clothes

Longtime New York magazine Paper is launching its annual "Beautiful People" issue, with Joanna Newsom on the cover. Over at the site, they have some video of Newsom during her photo shoot, where she takes a moment to tell a joke that involves midgets and other small things.


(Via BV)

Pierce Jackson doesn't even flinch! You can read the more in-depth Newsom feature, and look at fashion pics like the one below, over here. We're not quite sure who most of the other "Beautiful People" are.

Bill Callahan (Smog) is who she dates and she is anything but mediocre.

Her apologetic look at the cameraman after her joke is heart-melting.
