Business as Usual: Blonde Celebs Land September Covers
We’re just a few weeks away from the massive September magazines! That means it’s almost time for the same crop of overexposed celebrities who appear on all the covers to snag yet another one. (Vanity Fair, while not strictly a fashion mag, will feature a handful of models.) Here’s who’ll be gracing, er, appearing:
Vogue: Keira Knightley (and just like last year, I’ll be liveblogging as I read the issue)
Allure: Carrie Underwood
Cosmopolitan: Blake Lively
Elle: Jessica Simpson (who, apparently, was on the cover of Elle’s best-selling issue ever. Ever. How is that even possible?)
Glamour: Penelope Cruz
InStyle: Uma Thurman
W: Kate Hudson
No word yet on which flaxen-haired tabloid fixture will land Marie Claire, Lucky, or Bazaar.
Is it a well-known fact that blondes usually get September covers? And what was going on at the time Jessica Simpson sold that many magazines? That sure would not have been my guess!

I am soon going to become an addict to your blog!! Would you like swapping links be possible? (Actually I've just added you!:)
How on earth do you know who will be on what covers and when? This mystifies me greatly.

More boring "stars" who will undoubtedly be attached to superficial and poorly written profiles. Why are American magazines so scared to try something different? What do any of these women have going on that is so interesting?

Hey there - I met you at BlogHer during the "speed dating" session. I love your blog. I'm magazine-addicted too and I've shared this with some friends too. I love the fall fashion issues, plenty of pages to tab.

Thanks, Jessica! I just checked out your blog, and I think I may be the only BlogHer attendee who didn't have a run-in with security!

Brunette Milla Jovovich landed the cover of the thick, cardigan-obsessed September issue of Lucky; maybe it's a Very Special September issue... all the mag editors might draw straws for who has to feature a brunette on the cover of their September issue each year as the result of some "Trading Places"-style bet. I know this much: the issue is super-stinky, perhaps the foulest-smelling magazine I've ever been sent.

It appears that the success of the Black Issue Italian Vogue has had some effect. Tyra Banks (ugh) will be on the cover of September's Bazaar. Wish it was Kerry Washington or Tracee Ellis Ross instead. Great blog.
