Magazines : Vanity Fair (1-year)In association with Amazon.comRating:  - Fashion but Smarter than VogueThis magazine is provactive and thoughtful, with groundbreaking interviews- yet it still has the fashion. - Noga Rosenthal Rating: - The great writing keeps me coming backThere's only one reason I look forward to receiving this magazine - the way the feature stories report not only an event, but also the characters (I mean, people) within them. Writers would benefit from reading these pieces on a regular basis. Rating: - WOW - be forewarnedShipping estimate:February 23, 2008 Delivery estimate:May 8, 2008 Arrived between March 16 and 23, 2008 Vanity Fair has always been a favorite of mine. But be warned: the subscription may arrive sooner than expected, about 6 weeks before estimated in my case. Not wanting to miss the current issue I purchased one to take on spring break. When I arrived back from vacation I found the same issue in the mail. I know, I should have been patient, but I couldn't help myself! I guess I'll be giving one away. Rating: - Picked only one from all the others.I quit subscribing to all fashion magazines. The models are emaciated and look like freaks. Our society is sick. Women are not supposed to be angular, they are naturally rounded; These magazines include Vogue, W, Elle, Cosmo. I keep Vanity Fair around for the articles. Well written ones on politics, art, business, and life in general. Loved the stories on Eli Broad, Rupert Murdoch, George Bush, the Obamas, Clintons, White House strategies, Karl Rove, and wasn't there one on Brooke Astor? Takes a long time to read one issue. Kiss Kiss! Rating:  - A very pleasant surpriseThis is one magazine I have wondered about for some time. My first issue was a very pleasant surprise. While the preponderance of ads put me off when I flipped through it, the articles erased my idea that this was just another sales vehicle. I thoroughly enjoyed the article on George Bush which was well written and very informative. This is one subscription I will keep and the ads are pretty if nothing else. |
