BlogHer Bound
Okay, not bound—I’m already there! Are you at Blogher, too? Say hi! Posting here will resume on Tuesday, but I’ll be Twittering until then.
Self-Promotion
Sex, Soda, and Showers • Things take a turn toward the steamy in this month’s rundown of magazine relationship advice. Learn why Self suggests you kick the diet soda habit, what it’s like to be married to a sex expert, and why he hates showering at your place, in my July column on The Frisky.
Now on Facebook • Glossed Over’s Facebook group is live, and it’s right here.
Happy birthday! • Glossed Over turns three today. Hooray! To celebrate, here’s a flashback to two of my favorite posts from the last year, Live Blog: Reading September’s Vogue and We Read It So You Don’t Have To: The Entire January Issue of Cosmopolitan.
Magazine Marriage Madness • What does Cosmopolitan consider the prime age for a marriage proposal? What did Allure’s second-time bride wear underneath her wedding gown? And what $950 bauble does W recommend for the “unconventional” bride? Find out all that, and more, in my index of June-issue intimacy advice on The Frisky.
Countdown • Only two hours to go until we peel back the cover of September’s Vogue and commence live blogging. Join us at 8:00 p.m. Pacific, won’t you? We’ll be going non-stop until we hit the back cover, except for coffee breaks and the half-hour when The Hills is on. Team Lauren!
Glossed Over Goes Live: We Live Blog Vogue Monday Night
Yesterday, we picked up a copy of the new Vogue at the newsstand. Though the issue has now been in our
possession for
more than 24 hours, we have yet to crack the thing open. The anticipation is killing us. Sienna Miller’s new eyebrows are explained inside, right?
Still, we’ve decided to wait…until Monday night at 8:00 p.m. Pacific, that is, when we will live blog as we read the massive September issue. We’ve never read any September edition in just one sitting, and we have no idea how long it’ll take. (Actually, we’re rather afraid this experiment of ours may run all night. Yikes. We get even crankier than normal when we’re sleep-deprived.) But we’re gluttons for punishment…and for Vogue! Check in with us Monday evening as we discover the “magician of makeup,” “fearless fashion,” and the exact amount of caffeine we’re capable of consuming in the course of an evening.
We're Bitching Again (Okay, Still)
Remember this tale from W about a handful of women who just couldn’t find the right nanny to scour the
marble bath and wetnurse the kids? We do hope they’ve managed to find suitable household help since that article was published, a feat surely made easier by airing their complaints in a high-circulation magazine! How’s that nanny search going now, we wonder?
Anyway, Bitch magazine has reprinted the post (which stirred up some very interesting comments) in its Summer issue. And if rereading our words from a few weeks back and supporting an independent media voice isn’t reason enough to pick up a copy, this edition also contains sharp insights on (among other things) the Pussycat Dolls, Gardasil commercials, and email scams, as well as a lengthy interview with Kara Jesella and Marisa Meltzer, authors of How Sassy Changed My Life. We are definitely staying up late to read that.
Editor's Self-Aggrandizing Note: Brit Newspaper Calls Us "Hilarious"
Despite our perhaps myopic focus on American magazines (hey, we can only read so much), we’ve merited a brief mention on the other side of the pond. Read about us in “The Click” from the UK’s Times. (And by “us,” we mean the website, just as when the Times says “people behind the blog,” they mean us. Er, me. There’s only one person writing this thing.)
Oh, and as for content other than blatant self-promotion, check back later today as we make the undoubtedly futile attempt to parse Jean Godfrey-June’s latest Lucky column.
Editor's Note: Yahoo Pick Edition
