I like that I get Elle, Vogue and Harpers Bazaar subscriptions online, the style whisperers. Love finding them there among my email morning and night, sandwiched between Visa's "you have a payment due" and eBay's "you've been outbid" notices. A spoonful of fashion helps it all go down.
Do I miss paying 8 dollars a copy for reduced sized, ad-filled paper issues? No I don't because I subscribe to those as well, locked into Publisher's Clearing House such that I am. And the US Postal service. And the timber lobby.
Blame the gloss. Blame the ads even more, because they're over the top and full-page gorgeous. Time and money were spent here. I guess that makes me a student of style marketing. Or just a student of style. I like the ads. Chanel and Versace speak. I just want to hear them out.
Guess who else has gone over to the glossy side? WSJ. The Wall Street Journal wants us to know that black is this season's new color (like we haven't known since we were 10 that black is always the season's new color) and looping a dapper scarf over one's suit is the gentlemanly way to prevent winter chill. Their words, not mine.
And Forbes is in the game....their Style File "covers all things design". Pick up a copy to catch up on SoHo's street vendors or jewelry chic along with your stock quotes and they'll throw in an essay about asset allocation. Day traders are like everybody else. They just want to beat the street while looking drop dead dapper. ~ Carolyn in Mexico
