Magazine Love
one editor's search for love via men's magazines
GQ has often been described as a gay men's magazine, but after reading Details, GQ is actually just metro. At first, I was confused about why a men's magazine would put a woman on the cover. My roommate's answer: "GQ is for men's men, and men's men like puss-say." Hard to argue with that, but ultimately well-groomed men's men don't interest me. Misogyny and manscaping aren't for me.
What struck me about this feature is the emphasis on how "cool" Daily Show correspondents are. GQ in general positions itself as a style maker, but it's lowest common dominator style. If a man needs help figuring out that the Daily Show is funny, he'll probably need more guidance than I'll want to give him.
This month's GQ has a four page spread on hot potential First Ladies. Yes, I don't want to talk about the crisis in the Middle East in the front of the book or on the first date, but my interest in politics goes beyond this. Scroll Posts
