God bless the New York Post's magazine round up, which, like Mediapost's Magazine Rack and Slate's Other Magazines, saves us from having to actually flip through the two dozen glossies that get messengered over every week. (But don't stop sending them! We read them for the … ads.)
And since we will only pick up Paper for the photos, it's great to know their current issue features "64 More Beautiful People," which is a follow up to every single issue they've ever published. Interview scores a Madonna interview, that barely passes journalistic muster, but, well, it is Interview. In Zink, the "embarrassingly bad design and poor production values" get in the way of the "decent fashion spreads in the back of the magazine, but they are so much better than the stuff in the front that they appear to be from another publication. Unfortunately, the stories aren't much better." And in BlackBook, "the photos of [Janet] Jackson trussed up in latex and headgear are supposed to be provocative, but the S&M spread comes across as silly playacting, and the interview with the pop star falls flat." Good to know. We'll wait for that Us Weekly.
