The status is NOT quo.

Here, here. Can the Buffista teachers take turns writing an education column, too?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Aw, man, Allyson, if I had any money to invest I'd totally invest in your magazine. I'm still mourning the loss of Budget Living, which sounds like a proto-your magazine and folded something like three years ago. I just ran across one of my few remaining copies on a neglected bookshelf this afternoon and got sad all over again. Theme parties for under $150! How to assemble thrift store and Goodwill finds into a neo-Victorian glam bedroom for $25 or less! John Waters raving about the glories of SF's Kayo Books! Redoing your entire kitchen with a yard of gingham rickrack and two paperclips!

It was awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Budget Living was awesome before The Man wrecked it.

hwæt

Last week, at the bar, the bartender was complaining that her subscription to Jane was replaced with issues of Mademoiselle or something. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I agree entirely.

I hacked up most of my copies for cool images to use on CD covers, which I now bitterly regret. Had I known, I'd have treasured them just like I do my mint runs of the golden era Sassy and Spy.

I do love Ms. Magazine, though, got to say. Definitely not a magazine telling you to BUY BUY BUY and LOSE WEIGHT and GET A GUY!

It's much too serious for the kind of magazine you're talking about, though. I'd like a little frivolity and budget living in my non-gender-stereotyped magazine.

Good man.

Allyson sounds like she's talking about a Bust/Budget Living mashup to me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Man, I loved Sassy. *Before* Jane left, it should go without saying.

But the magazine I miss most of all is the dear, departed Mode. No other magazine for plus-size women who want actual fashion instead of muumuus comes close.

t edit This cover, more than anything I can think of, exemplifies MODE in its glory days: [link]

Because books.

Oh, YES.
