V magazine makes me wish I was Linda Evangelista’s BGFF

It’s been ages since I picked up a bound magazine, and with the launch V online I may never have to. Reading The Atlantic or The New Yorker online is tough enough. So many words right? But a mostly visual book, like V or Vogue, is better suited for the vast, never depleted web — where the notion of disposable imagery is much more apparent than any printed matter. I’m less distracted by the cheap, practically translucent paper that some rags use, or worried that a signature is off register, or that color reproduction doesn’t match. Last night, sometime between 2 and 4 am, I sat a my computer hypnotized by the fashion spreads in V online. Apparently photographs of other-worldly models in other-worldly attire look better without the glossy paper, or the CMYK, or the nostalgic notion of the center fold. (Photo: Sebastian Faena)
