Let Down

So, once again I have taken a break from writing. It's not that I'm no longer interested or up-to-date on fashion it's that not only have I been running around the city like a mad lady, but also Vogue has been letting me down. Month after month, since 2010, Vogue has been dropped off in my mail box. Each month I get excited and tear it out of it's plastic wrapping only to find that there is nothing in the issue that sparks my interest. Then I throw it in my collection with my head down in shame..... Okay maybe a little dramatic, but seriously. Vogue is known as the fashion bible! It has one of the pickiest, rudest, craziest, most talented people for their editor; Anna Wintour, so I don't know what's happening. Not only does American Vogue have Anna but they have Grace Coddington, Vogue's Creative Director! Grace is crazy talented! She has thrown together some of the most beautiful photo shoots I have ever seen. She is super creative, and loves what she does! So I don't understand how Vogue has turned into something that let's me down month after month.
For example when I received my February issue of Vogue, me and a friend discussed their main headline: "Love, Sex, and What to Wear." That is not a headline of a fashion magazine, but of a Cosmopolitan. We discussed that this was a disappointment, and not what a fashion magazine should be featuring, even if it is February.
The next disappointment came when my April edition came in the mail. Now let me add a disclaimer before I say anything. I understand the 90's are back in and I think that most designers have revamped it in a way that looks absolutely me! I now own many floral printed clothing pieces. I also think that Gisele is BEAUTIFUL, like drop-dead gorgeous. BUT the front cover of this Vogue was like 90's the original way. It felt almost.... tacky, if I can even say that about Vogue. I decided that one mistake on a magazine cover wasn't enough for me to be upset, so I flipped through the pages only to realize that Vogue no longer took my breath away. I used to be able to flip through every page and be astounded by the creativity flowing from the magazine. It now feels like they've taken shortcuts.... and this may not be true but it also seems like there are more ad's then ever before.
Now that I've done my complaining I will say that American Experience (photographed by David Sims) in the May issue was enough to make me smile, and like Vogue a little more. Every picture was creative and beautiful in it's own way, as well as unique.
Anyway there's my rant and rave about Vogue 2010. I must say I'm can't wait for my June issue and am praying that it makes me fall in love with Vogue again!
Welp, until next time,
