'zines

if you know me, you know how much i LOVE magazines and always have. i want to chat about them for a second because we can slowly start to see that, due to the internet, mags are not getting the circulation (money) they used to, and are starting to die. blogs are most likely a huge reason for this, and i'm not going to apologize for being a part of the blog-movement, but i can't help but shed a tear for some mags which are drifting away (gourmet! shock. cookie-cute parenting mag-was it alive for long?) And most, most, most sadly: Jane. groundbreaking. edgy. quirky. girly but strong. best editor ever, who was also the founder of Sassy mag, which died a premature death as well. And I must speak of Domino, which was an amazing home decor-ish mag that i didn't get to know well enough until it was too late. Now I scour Out of the Closet for past issues. We gotta cut down on our paper usage for sure. But darn it, how i miss Jane... (p.s. why did i randomly get an issue of The Knot: The Nest in the mail? it's almost too domestic. it's pretty corny. it's meant for newleyweds.) p.p.s. i love real simple now, like i used to love nylon. am i getting old?
