Strike a pose, Vogue! Vogue! Vogue!

I like to call this sculpture at Sculpture Square "stuck on you"

My doctor is the best. I mentioned to my doctor that I really liked his waiting room because, instead of the usual free crap magazines the other doctors had in their waiting room, he had Hollywood gossip rags, International style magazines, men's magazines (I find much humor in reading these men's magazines) and "how to decorate" your house magazines. I really don't mind waiting for the good doctor when I have so much entertainment around. He says that they are all courtesy of his friend who gives him the magazines that he can't sell in time at his magazine stand.

So, I asked my doctor for a few back issues that he had, since I really wanted to make more collages. And a month later, voila(!) I have about 60 magazines. It's kind of fun reading old Hollywood gossip rags to see how silly everything is and also the style magazines are really cool. I love how, a lot of the fashion photographers that work for big mags like Instyle, W, Vogue and Elle are very artistic. I forget I'm supposed to be looking at the models and the thousand dollar clothes sometimes and I get caught up in the way the photos are shot, the styling, the angles, the beauty in the background, etc.

So thank you to my doctor and his faithful receptionist. I think everyone should have a magazine stand owner as a friend. :) I know that is my new goal.

How are men's magazines humourous? Just curious what you think of em.

Hmm, ok, so reading things like Maxim is funny because well, there are funny articles. And then reading some of the other ones - which are modeled after women's advice mags like Cosmo - they are funny because they tell you how to get girls, etc. I mean, you just have to read it, it's funny. I'd read it and go, nah uh, that's not how you get girls - lol. (even mags like Maxim falls for this soemtimes)
And then - there are these huge pictures of almost naked women in men's magazines and sometimes, it craks me up as to what men think are sexy poses.

And cosmo (women's mag) has stopped being funny - it's kinda pathetic now.

oh and the other reason I like men's mags?
Hot guys who are more often dressed well than not. :p
