May have sold them an extra copy or two, nearly killed off the convention when the kids' parents saw it.<br /><br />I gather the ads are useful to fashion design students.Anansiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683802209937257616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-14520399593165755612012-04-20T17:47:22.154-04:002012-04-20T17:47:22.154-04:00Well, VANITY FAIR then was given its head by Nast,...Well, VANITY FAIR then was given its head by Nast, and edited by a lover of innovations in art. The current VF is PEOPLE magazine, only desperate to be hip and Serious. And it shows. There are magazines that still have innovatively engaging covers, but most of them are the more arty fashion or actual art magazines, and ZOETROPE ALL-STORY and little magazines.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-58728565578746877312012-04-20T17:39:29.513-04:002012-04-20T17:39:29.513-04:00When you look at their current covers, it makes yo...When you look at their current covers, it makes you pause.

I'm listening to DOUG LOVES MOVIES, and can remember all the film titles I'd ever need to play "Build a Title," but can't remember anyone's name that is simply said to me...and have never been able to, need to read it.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-36107157769850179652012-04-20T16:26:33.122-04:002012-04-20T16:26:33.122-04:00Further to my message I just turned around in my o...Further to my message I just turned around in my office and there it was sitting on the top shelf of a bookcase no doubt covered with dust.Kent Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834261948994921554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-10193708345527372992012-04-20T16:23:43.376-04:002012-04-20T16:23:43.376-04:00Seeing the cover I know I have that first edition ...Seeing the cover I know I have that first edition somewhere.
