it's cool that BUST is in the front, it used to be that I couldn't get BUST outside of the comic book store

Not even writing any article text? So basically people won't know what to make of this unless they've read other writing from you. Confusing.

No... those are MAGAZINES today. Women aren't as floppy and it's more difficult to take them through security at the airport.

Maybe the title was supposed to be:
Women today, geesh!

I've learned having read Charles' previous writings never really help understand his current offerings. Something tells me he's proud of that.

I'm still shocked by Nicole Kidman's perfect cleavage.

Exactly.

Um, not women today. Professional entertainers today. Entertainers with professional photography and styling. Some non-professional entertainers look like this, but not enough to label them "Women Today."

Can you not tell the difference?

I find it funny that the magazine, BUST, is the only one with the woman not showing off her bust. The cut on the rest of the clothes in the three mags to the left of it is almost identical...
Was that the point of the post?

That is the rack at the University Bookstore. It's quite a nice rack.

Yeah, the title of this post should have been...

MAGAZINE RACKS

Hurm, I could have sworn that was the mag rack at the Harvard QFC.

But then, racks all look the same to me...

So it's all about the underwear, then?

more like the lack of underwear. someone needs to put 2 and 2 together and knit these bitches a bra.

Wait -- wait -- in the back, top: "Star Trek"! Those women today.

No, some have bras on. And that's all.

Look, the best ones are Bust and Vanity Fair, of the ones I see there. In terms of content - and at least Bust has a better self-image for women.

I still wonder how how the only time non-white women are featured on magazine covers are when the magazines themselves targeted at such women.

@25

Yup. The exceptions are women who are incredibly hot and famous, such as Halle Berry or Sandra Oh.

Posted by Greg | October 3, 2007 1:39 PM

Does this have something to do with Charles's deep infatuation with Ms. July (the Bust cover girl)?

@26: At which point, really, they're practically white.

Women are stupid, reading garbage like this. I only read men's magazines for men, like "Bus World", "Garden Railways", and the like.

@26,28

umm... the only time white women are on magazine covers is ALSO when they're incredibly hot and famous.

that is all.

Hillary Swank looks like she fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, yet she gets magazine covers.

@30: Incredibly hot in a pale kind of way was kind of my point. I don't see many faces darker than milky tea on most covers. Not many narrow eyes or broad, flat noses. Granted, that's because those things aren't hot in general. Right?

Posted by Gloria | October 3, 2007 5:32 PM

Garden Railways?

@30

Nah, they put some ugly hoes on the cover of Cosmo.
