The Glossies

My stewardess aunt dropped off a pile of books and magazines last Sunday. Best sellers, Oprah-recommended novels, celebrity gossip magazines, GQ (yay!)---they came from the airline's subscriptions and from passengers who leave behind their reading materials. I'm tempted to talk about the connectedness of strangers whose books I am reading, my hands

And bearish, bullish.

I didn't know I knew so many synonyms for the phrase, "elections going smoothly"

do you raid book sale stores? sometimes they got great back issues of obscure (at least in this country anyway) but interesting magazines. i used to collect fader mags (thefader.com) until it got too hiphop :P

Oo minsan, I once picked this literary reader The Oxford somethingsomething, nakakainis ang galing.

Will look out for fader mags now :)

hindi na siya ganun kaganda :/ but it's still a pretty good buy for 90 pesos, i think

I love GQ too! My mom would also bring home back issues for her nephew, but I'd always manage to read the feature articles on hot celebrities and their commentaries on political issues (in fairness, this was even before and after I joined debsoc, and I don't think their commentaries weren't bad at all). I couldn't help but think each time I read GQ, "Why can't InStyle be less superficial sometimes?"

PAL ba mom mo? Umuulan ng InStyle magazines din dito because of my Tita.

Its sad that women's magazines perpetuate the world order of men having all the say in politics noh?

Maghanda sila. :p AHAHAH what.
