I guess it doesn't help that more and more niche magazines keep popping up.
When I was in Saigon, my cousins and I found a cute bookstore selling old junk left from the French rule. The back of the store was pretty much a mountain of junk (literally racks and tables with nearly toppling piles of papers). I did bring back some quirky things like postcards and pictures of half naked people (ho ho ho, I won't elaborate) though. And because the store doubled as a newsagent: a July edition of German VOGUE. I understood none of it of course, but on a whole, it wasn't anything special.
I am also holding SO-EN, which I asked my brother to get me when he did his Asia trip late last year. He brought me back 2 different issues which made me squeal quite loudly. If you haven't seen SO-EN, you should really track down a copy. I love it to death.
The copy of RUSSH is the first I've received from the subscription I was gifted. I haven't read it all yet but it's beautiful so far (as always).
I snapped up INDUSTRIE as soon as I saw it in MagNation. Everybody was raving about the first issue which I missed out on so I wasn't going to take any chances. I'm about halfway through and it's probably the most fulfilling/satisfying/goddamn amazing magazine that I've ever touched (sorry POP) and the article to fashion editorial to advertising ratio is perfect (haha, it's important to me ok?). Not to mention that the articles are well written, the interviews incredibly insightful and Marc Jacobs looks like a super coiffed and well mannered pirate in his feature. You should buy it based on the last reason alone.
Last is WHAT SHALL I WEAR TODAY?, the book penned by the most stylish bunny on the interwebz- Fifi Lapin. The book features Fifi's fashion advice, outfits as well as interviews with some of the best talents in British fashion. It was a gift from Likkle Girly Poo who knows how much I love cute fashion illustration. Thank youuuuuu Likkle Girl!

The other day I thrifted this amazing fringed blazer. The shoulder width is way too large for me but I bought it anyway, figuring I might use it on a shoot one day. Well actually that's a lie. I bought it because it instantly reminded me of the fringe and feather action going on in MBLAQ's MV for Oh Yeah (now an oldy but still a goody). So yes, to answer your question, I am still a big fucking KPOP fangirl.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW JYJ MUSIC VIDEO "AYY GIRL?!" pffft, i don't know what to say.... it's part love/hate
anyway! you are totally killing it in that blazer and creepy natalie face. definitely disturbing, but very black swan-esque in terms of movement!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA I AM LOLLING AT THE LAST FLAPPING PICTURE OMG. WHAT IS AIR.
I also see you're wearing a super awesome pleated (?) dress? Where from does it hail?
:D
I have a ridiculous obsession with periodicals as well. Newsagents and MagNation are my biggest foil. Also, really feelin' the Black Swan mask.
wow. i'm not sure i can ever look at mblaq again without being reminded of this post.
thanks -__-
HAHAHA I don't know if the black swan is funny or scary.

Bien joué pour l'animation cary, ça rend les expressions encore plus fortes.
