10 MAGAZINE: SHE’S ONCE… TWICE… THREE TIMES A LADY!
And she’s out this Thursday! Buy one, buy two or buy all three. But definitely buy at least one.
Editor’s Letter
So, finally, our winter issue is here, packed to the brim with inspiration. Its primary function is to provide a little platform, a window to showcase all the season’s wonder and surprise.
Our summer and winter issues have now become a place of sanctuary for both the cruise and pre-collections respectively. Why, you ask. Well, I totally feel the need to highlight and discuss our fashion options for those seasons, which now make up a phenomenal 70% – yes, 70% – of all designers’ sales revenue. It’s too huge a percentage to ignore.
We have also snuck in a little glimpse of the new spring/summer offerings, previewing our favourite gems.
Also, what sort of a luxury quarterly would we be if we didn’t also indulge, dear reader, in a touch of the ultimate in fashion luxury: a glorious couture story to drool and fantasise over.
As usual this issue is also packed with some of the most brilliant, engaging features. On that seamless note I have shamelessly decided to take a little excerpt from my favourite: Glenn O’Brien’s piece, 99 Theses for the Ladies’ Room Door. Which are effectively rules of engagement, from a boy’s perspective, of dos and don’ts for girls.
I have, in all honesty, only selected 10 of my favourites – you’ll have to read the rest to gather all the amazing gems of wisdom that my darling Glenn has had the intelligence to impart. Truly brilliant.
1. Stockings are out of fashion, but there are other things to wear besides fashion. Fashion is about woman to woman; there’s also woman to man.
2. Don’t walk around naked. Save that for special occasions.
3. It’s cool to correct your significant other, but do it in privacy.
4.Women wearing clip-on earrings have a reckless quality.
5. There’s something about a woman in gloves. Not rubber gloves or the driving gloves a certain pop star wears to cover age spots, but real ladies’ gloves.
6. Emery boards, public make-up application and cigarette holders can be attractive in a cheap sort of way. Gum, never!
7. Never get drunk or text in public.
8. Age isn’t a big deal. Bitterness is a deal breaker.
9. If you shake hands, don’t be limp. It’s a test.
10. Women should have at least one heterosexual male friend.
I mean, genius – genius, I tell you!
Happy reading and viewing all I have to share.
Until the next,
