Ok, this is pretty funny and weirdly interesting. Glossed Over “live blogged” her reading of the September issue of Vogue:
10:37 a.m.: Nearly 200 pages in and I’m not even all the way through the table of contents. More coffee, please.
11:14 a.m.: Has Bebe stopped selling shirts? I ask because neither of the models in their ad are wearing one.
11:49 a.m.: So I’ve never read any of Franzen’s books, but this quote is unwittingly trenchant commentary about Vogue:
“We’re unprecedentedly rich and free; why is everyone so miserable?”
For real.

What a waste of time.
Oh, i still remember the first time i picked up an issue of Vogue magazine. The cover photo or text must’ve caught my eye i think.
And while trying to find “it”, i felt duped and victimized flipping through the pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and

5:26pm: Paul is gonna pop a cold one.
Thanks Rob. Have a great weekend!
I’m just glad to see that print ads are still being bought.
@Jim Newberry, Yes!!
Less than half the ad pages of the 2007 Sept. issue but it still feels hopeful to me.
Isn’t bebe bankrupt and going out of business?
