Get Lit: A Few Magazines

May Details, April & May American Vogue

I've always loved reading magazines. I could spend hours getting lost in their content. One of the reasons I didn't want a tablet device was because I prefer to have the print editions of my books and magazines. There's something special about flipping through the pages, smelling the perfume ads, taking notes in the margins and having it to keep on your bookshelf. 

When I was little, I would cut up my subscriptions and make my own magazine creations. I'd write articles and pretend I was a fashion/beauty editor. I remember putting scotch tape over the pages I did myself to try and mimic the glossy effect. We didn't have a laminating machine at the Roman residence.

Having this blog and using sites like Polyvore allow me to feel like that little girl in her bedroom, dreaming of bigger things. Real magazines are my touch of nostalgia and I hope they never cease to exist in the publishing world.

Things That Make My Head Spin

Many people fear removing this tag. Others are bothered by its fierce warning "UNDER PENALTY OF LAW". I assume those individuals who are troubled by this mystical piece of literature either didn't read the message in its entirety or are seriously lacking in vocabulary and reading comprehension skills.

EXCEPT BY THE CONSUMER

Newsflash! If you purchased said mattress, pillow, etc... YOU ARE THE CONSUMER! You can legally remove the tag! The shadow government isn't going to electronically trace you (this time). It's okay, really.

Yes, Please

If I could design a boyfriend, he might look like Shia LaBeouf does on the cover of Details... but the car would be black.
