The New Vanity Fair STINKS!
It's terrible! They have it in a plastic bag to keep the freshness in and apparently to keep the perfume fumes locked inside where they won't present a fire or toxic shock hazard to other shoppers. I'm going to have to air it out on the back porch for a couple weeks before I'll be able to stand it enough to look at it. It's been a while since I picked up one of those women's magazines. Are they all that bad? I've been getting Z!NK magazine lately. It has great pictures, less advertising, and lists all the contibuting photographers in the table of contents. And, it doesn't ST!NK! -Dave Feb 14 06 10:46 pm Link I heard the mag Nirvana smells like teen spirit. Feb 14 06 11:29 pm Link area291 wrote: LOL! Back when I was that age, teen spirt was the smell of the locker room after a game. Feb 15 06 06:40 am Link is this the issue with Scarlett, Kiera and Tom Ford on the cover? maybe the plastic wrap is to keep everyone from unfolding it and schmucking it up with their grubby fingerprints. Feb 15 06 07:08 am Link i got that one and i don't smell anything.... then again, i havnen't opened it. i just got it to decorate my coffee table  Feb 15 06 07:11 am Link The only fashion magazine I ever get on a semi regular basis is ZINK, but occasionally I'll pick up one of the traditional old ones. Like when Demi Moore was all painted up in a suit and when Cindy Crawford was pregnant. I probably have six of the old ones around. Personally, I think Vogue, Vanity Fair, Cosmo, Harper's, and many of the ones that have been around for decades have turned into crap. They stink of perfume ads, you practically need a search tool to find the feature pictorials among all the ads, and their covers are the epitome of clutter and tabloid style headlines. If you want some inspiration, pick up a copy of ZINK sometime. See what I mean at zinkmag.com -Dave Feb 15 06 07:27 am Link Harper's smells liker perfume? you mean Harper's Bazaar, right? not, like, normal Harper's, right? also, how much is Zink paying you to shill for them here?

It never occurred to me that anyone would be confused since I was obviously referring to fashion magazines. jon mmmayhem wrote: That was either a joke or an incredibly ignorant accusation. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were joking. Feb 15 06 08:12 am Link i guess i read Harper's more than Harper's Bazaar. and i'm not an incredibly ignorant person, so yeah, i guess it was a joke. Feb 15 06 08:15 am Link Zink is great, and my friend katy did a big ass multi page editorial for them recently, however you're missing out if you think that's the only hot fashion or fashion/culture mag out there using great photography, there are too many to list. Go to Borders and look at V, Surface, Flaunt, Dazed & confused, Clear, POP, Fader and a bunch of others I can't think of now.

Most of them I flip through and then forget the name, but Zink must have impressed me that day. I don't really shoot that kind of work or I'd probably be more interested in getting more of them.
