After reading through issues of Teen Vogue, I am normally left thinking, "Oh, my. Why did I subscribe to this magazine again?" and comforted solely through the thought that it cost $5/year for 12 issues. But today, after flipping through the pages while eating Tostito's Restaraunt Style tortilla chips and salsa (that my dad incorrectly bought yesterday at Wal Mart. I wanted Hint of Lime chips...) with the wafting smell of perfume samples from the magazine. It was not a pleasant mix, but the magazine was very nice overall.
1. The cover is very fresh and the colors used are not too neon ish gross or serious, but a perfect mix of spring without classic spring colors.
I love the advertisements, they're very nicely done, especially : COACH. I sort of hate this brand, but I cannot deny the wonderful ness that Ali Michael has brought to this ad campaign. (Ok so I also liked their ad campaign with Irina Lazareanu, but this one was so much cuter/ sweeter.) I love love love all the 4 pages of super Ali spread across my hands.
Favorite Editorial: Blues Traveler with Jac and Ansel Elgort, shot by Arthur Elgort. SOO CUTE! omg the girl is pretty and the boy is cute. I love every single spread, you can see the spring spreading around the eco nature scenes. Ahh, I will scan every single page of this editorial later.
The next editorial (Twilight) sort of SUCKED. It screamed "drama wannabe drama queen" shit and I was like "ugh, I'm so over it" and didn't bother to examine the clothing. I figure I will when I'm bored enough.
I don't care about any of the "hot" music people: lily allen, ladyhawke, pshh I don't care. Let's interview Rilo Kiley or Bishop Allen, please.
OOH AND THEY GAVE BISHOP ALLEN 2.5/4 stars and Kelly Clarkson 3.5/4 LIKE NOOOO. I didn't even know Bishop Allen was like "new" and "hip" or whatever it is kids my age these days are saying... I was listening to Bishop Allen this weekend, thinking it was a band like Iron and Wine that I'd just never discovered, and loving them. They're definitely skyrocketing to my last.fm past 7 days list...
ALSO: I like the Emma Roberts shoot, she's really grown and I can admire her beauty now. haha like before I couldn't? Idk. I liked Unfabulous, though. Favorite show on Nick? besides Ned's Unclassified, maybe. Tie?
EWW hate the 4 page spread featuring Agyness Deyn, Rhianna, and Ashley Tisdale's fashion spree things. OK mostly just Agyness and Ashley's. Rhianna is ok but I don't like her in that new Unicef Gucci commercial.
AHH FINAL EDITORIAL: adored it! so cute and fresh and whatever over adjectives are used to describe spring. ENCHANTED SOLDIER, I think they called it, and it is so lovely and different but not radically different to be like "freakkk" and the colors are so freshly pale, unlike some of Teen Vogue's past editorials with such saturated colors that I can't distinguish colors in reality because they're so pale.
Ok so overall impressed (: for Teen Vogue.
