No question, Elle Girl joins mag death day
— Tue, Apr 4, 2006 —

Elle Girl

At this point, we have a glass of gin (light on the tonic) in hand and are smoking in the apartment. Via the Fishbowler, the news that really is bringing a tear to our already salty ojos:

Elle Girl, headed by Christina Kelly since the departure of she's so Jane Brandon Holley, will say goodbye with their June/July issue.

One source says staffers were alerted earlier today, and that the June/July issue will be its last.

Shocking, too, because, 2005 was a monster year for ElleGirl in terms ad pages and revenue — taking in over $33 million in advertising revenue on 750 ad pages, increases of 77 percent and 46 percent, respectively. And in 2006, the magazine was outpacing 2005's numbers through February.

UPDATE: Women's Wear Daily allows us to remove the question mark.

What the fuck is going on? What are we supposed to read at the gym now? How are we supposed to know what our little sisters are listening to on their iPods or what's cool in pre-teen feminism?

Inside Mischa Barton's home we can live without — but inside her heart? We just don't know if we can make it without that.
