Vogue Not For Light-Weights

Yes, everyone's been commenting on this new issue of Vogue Magazine which is about the size of the Boston phone book and weighs twice that. I took it off to Vermont this weekend and nearly had to pay an extra trucking tax at the state line as the car was so weighed down.

Don't miss Kottke and Gawker on the subject today:

KOTTKE: Meg's issue of Vogue arrived today and I about got a hernia carrying it up the stairs. The damn thing is more than an inch think and weighs about 5 pounds.

GAWKER: It's official. Vogue can now be measured by weight. Currently a stunning 4 pounds and 8 ounces, the magazine is now heavy enough for multi-tasking fashionistas to do little bicep curls while they treadmill.

Don't miss the Victoria's Secret ad with the lacy black boycut panties featuring a pink ribbon that zig zigs from the waistline down the girl's behind like a corset string tied demurely at the place a bunny tail might be found. What do you wear with such a pair of panties? well, you go topless, of course, but be sure to bring along your pink mink stole if it gets breezy. And don't you love their 404 girl in the black panties, black push-up bra and black laptop? This is, of course, what I always wear when debugging, downloading or playing with a hard drive.
