Magazines / Wallpaper* October 2008

Yay!
So far, the best issue. AND best cover, ever. Yet. Creative, hi-tech, and forward-thinking without relying on overtly hi-tech thingamajigs. I'll let the pictures speak for itself.

Nay!
If there's one, let me just say some pages are starting to fall off. But there's probably nothing glue can't fix, no? hehe

I say...
This magazine is the reason why I am 1: happy, very happy 2: broke, very broke.

Magazines / October 2008 Mags - Rogue, Preview, Mega, T3



__

Preview:




Yay!
Very, very cool editorials. 'Nuff said.

Nay!
From P125 to P140. Oh no! Not in these hard times and personal recessions. Oh well.
And oh, I thought too (and most of my friends too) thought that the cover that didn't make it was def better. The cover that made it probly made it because it fits the headline "Bold Looks" better than the other one.

I say...
I am going to make it to that creative it list someday. Not just me. Me and my friends. hahaha! JK!! No, seriously, libreng mangarap. Who knows what would happen in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 years?

Rogue:



Yay!
The profile on Gary Lising was really, really interesting. I always saw him on TV as this goofy-greeny comedian/actor; He is actually much much more. And Earl Ignacio's piece about Rufa mae Quinto—smart and funny! Do you think it is really him inside that monkey suit?

Nay!
The boot feature was nice and cool, the little soldiers and all. But I think they pushed the creative limit a bit too far—I could hardly see the boots! and the slacks feature (not pictured) suffered the same thing.

Mega:




Yay!
The Jasmine M arty-arty ed was really nice. And some eds too.

Nay!
The binding (see last photo)! Am I just unlucky or the binding is really sad? The BB feature too. I was happy/surprised to see some BB feature here but, look at that (1st row right) and compare it to L'Officiel's or Tank's. (I am talking talking about the sad BB portraits) I'm sorry but it seems to be a very quick and not-so-planned shoot. They should have used his self-portraits-in-Marc-Jacobs-and-leggings instead, no?

I say...
The thing with Mega is, there are stuff that I find nice and ok; and there are stuff that I don't. My friend B would probably agree with me on this: it's about consistency, no?

T3:



Yay!
Hooray for the home-made features. And CEL!! Consumer Electrics Live. Will post about that later.

Nay!
Not so mag related but. might as well say it. Again, CEL. was so fun and nice...buy too short! Only three days. (They should've made it a week-long event. :-D Or maybe a two-weekend event. Oh, well, I am just happy I got to go there and see it live. I guess this is going to be an annual event. October 2009! Mark your calendars.)

Fashion & Style / Opening Ceremony Spring 2009






__

My Favorite looks from Opening Ceremony's Spring Look Book. Check out all looks here. This collection had a lot of "shorts looks"; I think it looks ok but I don't think I could pull that off; the shorts are too short for me (for my big thighs that is hehehe). It'd probably look better on manorexic guys. The photography (KT Auleta) looks good too, no?

This is the first Style Sundays post—a weekly post of the stuff me and my friends wore (yes...so don't be surprised if you see basically the same people here hehehe). Kind of Daily Outfit-ish. And if I have enough courage and kapal ng mukha (to ask them for a photo), other people's too.
