If girl magazines could convey this
I used to be an avid reader of Harper’s and then started to feel sometimes like there was one monthly out of twelve that engrossed me and the rest were all collections of articles trying to sound hip and erudite simultaneously. Then I found myself on the road a lot, and fatigued, a friend suggested arriving at my hotel late at night to a drawn bath, a candle and a girl magazine to just flip through the pages. Suddenly I became a voracious online shopper because the magazines were decidely the equivalent of retail addiction – I had to have what I just saw.
Giving all the zines up in favor of getting my information through various venues, I’m sort of enchanted with new media and the world it creates. To that end, dig this snippet from W, a montage of opera, fashion, photography – it’s all wow.
