must-have magazines

For the ladies out there, I found a subscription on Ebay for Cosmo, Glamour, Marie Claire, and Vogue. Three years of each magazine for $34.00.

I considered buying it. I still may, but I know some of the women on this site enjoy those magazines.

 

Did a couple magazine subscriptions for the Future this Christmas through eBay. Worked wonderfully well.

 

After a break of about 10 years, I just took out a subscription to Esquire because the writing is consistently good (hi, Jones!)

I pick up Harper's, Atlantic, the New Yorker and Mad from time to time.

 

The Hockey News is a must-read.

 

I used to have a subscription but I read it online from time to time.

 

Pig farming? Is that how you got dates?

Yeah, I just signed up for Esquire: $8.00 for 12 issues but they tacked on $12.00 because they have to mail it to Canada.

Ragu, trade mags are fabulous. It's like entering another universe where you can learn the intracisies of, oh, I don't know, the fast food, tableware, toy, shoe, men's retail and frisbee industries.

Love them.

 

At Borders today I browsed through the latest Esquire, and there was a front-cover headline "When Did Christina Ricci Become So Sexy?" Had to read that, obviously. Interesting, very short, article. A couple things jumped out right away. The first few words and sentence of the lede were attention-grabbing. My first thought was "She must be 26" because I read a study or research paper (something academic) saying the average woman hits her prime and looks her best physically at age 26. Don't mistake that for sexual peak, which women tend to hit in their early 30s. Anyway, the first few words of the second graph point out that "the well-read 26-year-old ... " and I kind of chuckled.

The other most-pleasing sight was a picture of her in black bra and panties, pouty-faced (what's new?) sitting at the edge of a bed. Man alive. Good god.

As for the article, the writer did a nice job considering the way the interview began and ended. In my mind it was nothing more than a preview for her new movie with Samuel Jackson, in which she wears dirty underwear for most of the flick.

 

This post is worthless without pictures.

 

Here you go, Boobie ...

 

WWE Magazine
Weekly World News
MAD Magazine

Well, if I had enough money. For now, it's Sports Illustrated.

 

I read ESPN the Magazine for the first time today. Full of knick-knackery and gidgets and gizmos. Only one feature story, but I thought it was very good, by Ric Bucher on Shaun Livingston of the Clippers. One of the better sports stories I've read lately.
