From the category archives:
There was a time when Everyone’s Dad bought Playboy for “the stories.”
It was common knowledge that that statement was a lie, back then.
Back then, Everyone’s Dad bought Playboy to see glossy versions of American Corn-Fed Girl’s-Next-Door with their clothes off.
Of course.
What has changed most dramatically is the notion of anyone actually buying a copy of [...]

The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) appears to be in the process of announcing it’s favourite magazine covers of the past year. Some categories are very serious, some somewhat more light-hearted. (Anyone interested in checking out the finalists for for “Vampire of the Year?”)

I am still fuming away to myself, thinking about that idiotic Vogue coverline of yesterday.
The prize one, (”How to get a super model’s body,”) as opposed to the mad one (”Can you live without mascara?”)

(Been there, done that.)
But, yes. She has got naked, had herself covered in raw meat and shot by Uber-creep, Terry Richardson, for Vogue Hommes Nippon

Here’s the indestructible (age shall not wither her, toxic boyfriends and scandal shall not destroy her etc etc) Kate Moss, on the cover of Photo Magazine.
Flashing her see-through knickers.
Upskirting herself.

She said, “This may be one of my most risque yet,” but I’d have said “risky,” as in a bit dangerous, not “risque.” as in “sexy.”
Too many spikes.
Two many greasy guys.
But then I am a frump and she is Kim Kardashian.
(Thankfully.)
