Where credit is due • I read an issue of Missbehave a few months ago and haven’t picked it up since, but I’m tempted by Issue #8 solely because of two of the cover lines. (Never mind the banana-hugging model.) In the lower left hand corner, it says

Perez Hilton is vomit

and in the upper left hand corner:

Lose 10 pounds! Or don’t! Nobody cares!

Both of those lines seem much more sensible than InStyle’s “Anne Hathaway Makes Fashion Fun!,” and I read that dreck every month.

While I do agree that Perez Hilton is vomit, Missbehave seems like another one of those boring hipster magazines much in the tradition of Jane or Nylon where they find it endearing to be vulgar. I looked at that cover and wondered: when did being a skank become aspirational? I would much rather see the same emotionless starlet on a magazine cover than some chick with a giant banana. That's just nasty.

I'm thinking there's got to be some kind of middle ground, somewhere between emotionless starlet (horrible) and skank (er, not so great either) -- or is it just me? Where, oh where, is that magazine?

Anyway, just stopped by to say thanks for driving some traffic my way via my post on "Marie Claire Vs. Details", and now that I've looked around, also to say that I dig this blog. A lot.

MISSBEHAVE is one of my favourites. I subscribe - it's halarious. Then again, I fucking hate vogue, so maybe my oppinions don't align with my fellow magazine fiends.
