Let's Boycott Maxim

Maxim: Unsexiest Mag

Pardon me as I vent.

I buy Maxim almost every month because I like to scope out the gadgets that neither my favorite geek nor girl mags usually review. This month= Oh no they didn't!

In a tasteless article called "Hollywood's Unsexiest Women" (or something), Maxim ranks female celebs by their—you guessed it—most 'unsexy' qualities. How rude. I hate even drawing attention to it, because it makes my skin crawl, but guess who topped the list? SJP. As in Carrie Bradshaw. Says the mean mag:

"How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very un-sexy women and still star on a show with 'sex' in the title?"


Who says that? Clearly, they do NOT get it. (... by 'it,' I mean everything.)

Click here for the rest of Maxim's victims, and promise me you won't buy it their November issue.

She Inspires Me...

The Atoosa Rubinstein story is one I never, ever get tired of reading or telling my friends about: As a Cosmo fashion editor in the late nineties, she had a dream (literally) about creating a little sister title for the brand. She pitched Cosmo Girl! to her employer, and was immediately named editor-in-chief. She was 26 years old. Twenty-six.

I was hiding in the beauty closet with a hangover at twenty-six.

This morning, the NYTimes updates us on the latest chapter in Atoosa's story. If you're looking for some inspiration, check it out. I just know you'll love her energy.

Approve This!

New York Magazine's infamous approval matrix finally has a web component! Readers can rate current events/ people/ places/ things against their personal despicable/brilliant/ lowbrow/highbrow/ scale. My favorites always fall in the "despicable/ highbrow" quarter. Click on the image to play, then see where your thoughts fall on the normalcy scale.
