Hey guys! Over the past few days I've hit a few cities on the Cold War
Kids tour (which I'll be posting tons of photos from soon) but I wanted
to take some time out to share these photos with you.
They were shown in two separate issues of Cosmopolitan UK -- one being the May issue that I actually posed partially nude for. It was a really incredible experience -- I was pretty confident about the shoot because I knew I would be somewhat covered. I was definitely really excited about doing it because with all of the attention my body has been getting lately I wanted to show everyone that I am comfortable in my own skin. It's crazy the way I'm labeled as too fat one minute, and then too skinny the next -- I am who I am and I felt that posing in Cosmo was a good way to express my sentiments on the matter.
All of these photos were taken by Roberto D'Este, an incredibly talented photographer!
Watch this E! News segment to hear a few more details from my interview in the magazine.

Hi Mischa :)
OMG you are so beautiful! I just want you to know that you are PERFECT! Love from sweden
Great shooting, I hope you enjoyed it!
Hey Mischa,
How's it going? Good to be back in LA?
Nice photo shoot. You've got guts to do it nude. And great timing too - just when there's all this crazy shit in the press about you being too fat/too thin.
LOL - it's the old "they say bad things about my body so I'll do a nude photo shoot" trick! :)
Well it works. Anyway, catch you next post maybe.

Hey Mischa
Why don't we see you with your mom anymore.
You used to be photographed with her all the time. I hope you didn't have a falling out with her. She was your manager right? Is she still your manager up to now?
If I were your mom I'd be telling you to cut down on your nightly visits to Bardot when you're in LA. I hope you're getting good advice from the people around you.
Hi Mischa,
your article was great, and so were the pictures =]
It's good to see a positive issue of Cosmo for once...
Hope your well,
Katie <3
wow mischa ,
ou certainly showed them cause ur lookin incredably hot...
lots of love,
Mark
Hi again, Mischa!
That's a really great article, and some fantastic pictures - You really do look amazingly beautiful in them (which you do all the time anyway, but...)
And it's great that you feel so comfortable with your body. Sadly, nowadays, there's far too many girls and women who are unhealthily obsessed with being "perfect", and think that they have to meet some sort of societal norm. And, as a result, they put themselves through all kinds of torture, just so that they can reach that image of "perfection" - Except, of course, that most of them never do, and so end up feeling depressed and unhappy with themselves. So it really is great that you have the guts to stand up and say things like this because, whether you like it or not, you ARE a role model to lots of younger women and girls. So doing something like this lets them know that they don't have to be "perfect", and it's OK to have those little flaws that make us all who we are. And the same should also go for guys too. If you've ever seen my picture on Twitter (I'm "Meeshluv" there, BTW, and it's not the best picture of me...), you'll know I'm no Brad Pitt, but I'm happy with what I've got, and don't feel the need to change anything about myself - OK, maybe I need to work at being a bit fitter, but that's just in order to be healthier and I'd certainly never be one of those obsessive body-builders or anything like that! I learned the hard way a long time ago that the most important thing in life is to be happy with yourself and the way you are, and that other people's opinions of you are much less important than most people seem to think they are. So I really do think its great that you've done this, and hope that others can understand why you've done it...
As always, I hope all's well with you, and I look forward to your next update.
All my love always,
Adrian.
Hey Mischa! :)
Read your blog everyday and I love it!
I'm from Sweden so your blog is popular over here to!

Hey Mischa,
U hear that Lady, her name is Susan Boyle, she on the BRITAINS GOT TALENT 2009 SUSAN BOYLE (SINGER). My mom saw her on the news... She 47 years old. I walk into my dad shop... My mom hey come see this, my mom was on youtube watching her... Oh my gosh, Mischa... She was amazing! She give me the chils. i wanted to cry, after all three judges give her a YES... she going to be on the show. It made me mad, that people were lauging at her at first. But, moment she walk on the stage, I knew something would be great. She lives in village... Yeah!!! Anyways, she just amazing! This is coming from a girl who leaves in Texas in U.S.!
If I could, I would vote for her.. I don't think American people can. If they can, do u know how?
I cannot say it enough... She was amazing...
I know u were born as a britsh... Do u know who I am talking about. Do u you give her any created? I think you would be crazy if you didn't!
:)
love u mischa,
picture look GREAT!

M!scha ROCKS (L)
All right, Mischa,
It's time to analyze those who have paid too much attention on your style lately.
I guess the gossips of you are the moonlight for them. They can feel relieved when they find it in the dark night and the moonlight illuminates their grinnings.
When they hear the rumor you got fat or you got skinny, they can believe "She is also human creature like us!" But soon they doubt it, because they are not confident with themselves. They have repeated that pattern. You said you "I am who I am", but it's hard for them to believe you are who you are.
I have to stop this because it's late at night in Japan.
I send this message so that you can find the true colors what has bothered you.
And congratulations on your beautiful style!
Inu-keep
good pics! :D
-hey micha i really don't hope you smoke anymore!
please. it's not good!!!!
..and hey, what movie is it, where you are naked?
:D haha.
but i love you beautiful style!

I'm so happy for you Mischa!!
Congratulations!!!!
xoxo
Wow, Wow, Wowwwww.
These pics are stunning, springtime is definitely comming xD You look just perfect. The yellow colored one reminds me of how happy and peaceful you can feel at summertime : you are gorgeous and the colors around you makes it incredible.
The black&white pic is definitely a rock&roll, crashed mood, poster thing. I would love to see more of them. The Cosmo-body ones are beautiful and you have nothing to worry about. People talk and always will, it's part of the success and the public status makes it just much bigger, right?
Thanks for the posts on twitter, here & about Cold War Kids shows... We love to hear what you do :) Makes it incredible to follow you through your day after day life.
Lots of love!!

Hey Mischa,
I can't checked your blog in a while because I had two german boys stayed in my home, now they're gone and I miss them so much,they were like my brothers.
And my real sister is in England. :(
But your news delighted me, thank you!
You are awesome as alwasy, my fav is the last pic (orange sunshine). And the Reebok photoshoot is the cutest that I've ever seen :)
I'm just finished rewatching the O.C. and I watched Walled In which was very bizarre and mysterious, in a good way of course :) Now I lookin' for "You and I" and "Assassination of..." which two film I really want to see and can't get yet :)
I hope you're happy :)peace :)
Adore You, Melinda

Hi Misha! You the most beautiful and kind girl all over the world! Your serial has forced to become thoughtful about much, and especially the third season the twenty fifth series! I this series looked twenty times and it is very a pity to me that all so has come to an end, without you the serial became very boring You super! I simply am very strongly enamoured in you!!!!!! Forever your admirer Vitea from Moldova!
Hi misha! you really looking great! Love the picture. And i really love your style and your hair.
I kinda love everything about you !

Hey Mischa you are what I call perfection, and I can't wait to see you on the new show.
Hey Mischa,
It's been a while you wrote us and I really miss You! I know that I shouldn't say this, you are busy, you have many more important things to do :)
But lately I check your blog in almost every minute to hear some new from You :)
I hope everything's alright and "not blogging" is not because of some bad :S "I must say that I worry for you" - as one of my favourite songs said :)

Best wishes, Melinda from Hungary
u.i.: We love you the way you are :)
I LOVE YOU!
Hey Mischa,
I love you, and you're so beautiful but I was a little disappointed that you were nude. There is so much beauty in you, especially when u have clothes on. Now don't get me wrong, but being naked is not the only way to be comfortable and I think that sends the wrong message to the people who look up to you.
Girls all over America feel ugly, fat, and just unperfect. I have to agree with Adrian that so many girls have an unhealthy obsession with being perfect. I am glad that you are comfortable with who you are and how you look,
But young girls think that the only way to be recognized is if they post nude, racey, skanky pictures of themselves on their myspace or facebook. I have an incredible smile my friends tell me, I don't need to be naked to show my beauty. But beauty isn't always about how you look naked. True beauty is about what is on the inside,
As the big role model you are, i would have expected something different, Something that shows how awesome you look in a tee shirt and sneakers with that incredible smile of yours.
you don't always have to look sexy to be pretty.
With Love and a Strong Opinion,
Kellie
its really sad to see that you have lost so much weight and that you are sending the message that its ok to have an eating disorder to young girls
its really sad to see how thin you have gone... you have lost so much weight and arent looking healthy anymore!!! its not sending out a very good message to girls who look up to you! you looked so much sexier and healthier before.. you were my idol... i really thought of u as the girl next door, uncomplicated and not swept up with self image and looking too thin... what happened??? you were so gorgeous! why do you want to look underweight? it doesnt look good!!!! you have so much going for you... and have the capacity to send out such a good message to young girls!!!
Hi Mischa,
I'm Sarah from Belgium and I just wanted to let you know that I love how you look and that I think you're really great!!
I'm sorry The OC-show is over. When I can watch you again on the screen every day?? :)

Hey Mischa!

Anyways,
Good luck and keep up the good work!!
hey Mischa,♥ you are so very beautiful girl :-) really i like you so
***♥***
you are the best
I love the tv show The Oc i ;-)
Good luck viktoria ♥ kiss
Loved the photos<3
And I totally disagree with the people saying you're to fat or to skinny-.-
Everyone has to live happily with his own body...people often say to me that i'm to skinny to but if I live happily I think it shouldn't be their problem..
Also many people only say it because they are jealous.
I just think you're bautifull, having your own style and being yourself even though you are very popular.
I don't like the kind of people who think of themselves they are better than others just because they are stars.
And I am very thankful you share your thoughts with us<3

Kiss Kiss Lana
Please dont let the media scrutiny ever get to you. They will rip you to shreds just for their own selfish gain and then there are some who will just do it for the twisted pleasure of hurting you so they can feel good about their own messed up life. I'll never understand why people feel the need to scrutinize everything about an individual's appeareance or even the way they express themselves. I wish more people would live by these wise words "Do not look at his/her appearance. For not the way man sees [is the way God sees], because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for God, he sees what the heart is." There are people who do live those words, who have a beautiful heart and will never judge you and love you for being YOU. I truly believe you have a beautiful heart and you are a a care free, gentle spirit who finds joy in bringing joy to other's lives. You only want to be happy. That's what makes YOU beautiful . Don't ever try to be fake and fit in to the worldly standard of beauty. Even though you are a beautiful woman on the outside we all know such beauty is only vanity and like a rose such beauty withers away but the person within will always remain as golden as the sun in the very sky. Never change that.

i love you...
i'ts perfect...

Hey Mischa :)
I'm not usually one of those people who go on celebrity blogs or have their posters up in their rooms or queu in line for endless hours to get a concert tiket or something. I admire the love and devotion people give unconditionally to their idols, though I must say I never had one myself.
Nevertheless, you have come the closest to being someone to whom I would look up to a lot.
Posing nude was a fantastic idea, like you said, it shows you are comfortable in your owm skin and believe me, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm sorry celebrities and icons like yourself are constantly watched under a magnifiying glass by society, they don't unerstand that you are normal humans like ourselves, with a lot of talent and very pretty. And no one has the right to criticise you for having a bit of cellulite (who doesn't fall into the temptation of chocolate and staying at home for the day) or going out with your friends and maybe getting drunk: who didn't when they were young?
I admire immensily your fashion taste: the bags, the accesories, the glasses, the small details, all of it! Mostly, I think it's the accessories and the small things you tend to use that make your style so unique.
Keep up the good work :)
Good luck for everything
Chiara from Italy

Kisses from Peru
you look so beautiful here. i actually stole this copy off my sister =]I think it's really admirable what your doing, girls my age are especially scared and paranoid if they are too fat or too thin or not pretty enough for their boyfriends, and the way that you are natural never too much make up and so natural and happy with your body makes you a perfect role model and person to aspire to.
=] i wish you the best of luck with everything
just one word: Amazing.
Hi Mischa! I live in Sweden and my sister studies in London. She bought this magazine there and now that she is back I'm reading it! It's great! I was really excited when she showed it to me with you on the cover!

Hey Mischa again..<3 I write you always and i love you so much you know. Your photos are perfect and you are cute <3 I like to look pretty like you..<3 My dream is with you in a film to play YOU ARE MY FAVORITE ACTRESS
Bye mischa 4 ever
Love you CEREN
You're very beautiful, I love you
You r the most beautiful women I have ever seen in this earth!!! Don't let the scrutiny of media spotlight get to your head..You r the perfect woman...
Love from Nepal (country of Mt. Everest)
Hey,
luv the pic!
u're gorgeous mischa!
Too bad i'm gay, or you'd so be my type...lmao, Not true, but i just love teasing people and i do not apologise! haha! anyways on the photos, you look pretty, but understand beauty is common and you should remember its not what you look like but who you are that has made you what you are today. So if its as you say and the tabloids have such a shallow basis that they only talk about whether you're fat or skinny and not who you are well, don't give a damn about them, even for PR stuff. Its a bad thing you know, everytime a guy comes up to you, you can be sure hes only there for your looks and fame, a damn backfire because he doesn't know a damn thing about you. Don't let magazines do the same thing.
Later gator and greetings from london
Hi Mischa!
You're beatiful!
I Love your work.
Fábio Jr from Brazil
Mischa I love the "Dark angel" pic... very sexy... way to kick society's butt! Don't let the public scrutinize your figure... It'll just lead to a life of stress, be who you want to be and if thats not good enough who cares, who are you trying to impress? be your own critic... and let me say your nude shoot was an empowering way of showing women to be happy with themselves... Thanks...
