Got Swag?

Well, Then Come Read Some Mags!

Before you rat me out for such a pathetic title, let me just say that I was thrilled with the amount of praise that my last post on magazines got. So to ride the wave of that success, I am releasing some of my other favorite stories and articles in a bigger, better, and b*tchier post. I've got loads of dirt on all your favorite stars, and a lot of cool new ones I'm sure you'll love. This wont be the last magazine post either! I love this type of thing almost as much as I hope you do. So without further adue, sit back with Louise and her swag and enjoy the show:

The Wonders and Glories of Celebrity Magazines:

The Stunning Marion Davies (you've gotta be stunning to get a fat cat like Hearst)

I love how in the twenties everyone called normal clothes street costumes. I think I'll be bringing that trend back around this summer, just you wait.

I love those old articles and films that boast "Featuring the stars of tomorrow" and only hold one name in 12 that you are even slightly familiar with. The article on the left reminds me of one of those online forums that are filled Britney Spears fans defending her sainthood. God bless celebrity madness.

I don't know if they still do this for magazines today, kinda like man (or woman) of the year, but I hope they do! I can see it now; "Tina Fey for her wonderful work on 30 Rock..." and "Lady Gaga for her total and complete awesomeness..."

I love this! Its so Jazz-age and Victorian at the same time! Oh, and no, it will not.

Honestly, every time I see the gossip section while browsing through a magazine, my heart skips a beat. Is it pathetic? yes. Is it wrong? NO!

       

One thing I've noticed in all the photoplay issues I've read is just how unashamed they are to be feminist. These days they won't do a story on a woman director because she just wants to be considered a normal director (which is understandable) but every issue of these magazines seems to shout "WOMEN CAN DO EVERYTHING MEN CAN DO BUT BETTER AND IN HEALS!" (which, although militant and slightly terrifying, is kind of refreshing)

 

Although I am not a huge Moore fan, I've gotta give her props for her publicity. There are like 3 of these fold out ads per issue, no other star did that. Also, does she remind you of Snow white a bit in this cartoon? Who knows, maybe I'm crazy.

If Allure ever wanted some cool new photos, it need not look any further than the Photoplay New Pictures section. It is always filled with gorgeous photos of stunning starlets! Myrna is simply breathtaking

Again, more sizzling photos. Is it hot in here or is it just that Gilbogarbage

I love the color articles, their so steam punk cool! Also, I will be working to bring the word SEXPRESSION back into common use. Come join me people.

I think I'm going to start applying my make up like this. Gawd, Carmel, it looks like your a geisha or something. Maybe it's just the lighting... I hope. I'm happy to say I actually know most of the "RISING STARS OF FILMDOM" in the article on the left. Given that If i didn't really love classic film I would know of about none of them, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say; don't predict who will be successful, its always a let down.

Some, like myself, are blessed enough to be beautiful from every angle, hmph (hair flip).

Again, this entire magazine (as well as almost everything else in the twenties) seems to be centered on women. So to any guys out there who have made it this far in the post, cods to you! because you have just gone through lady land unscathed (but slightly flustered).

To Be Continued...

If you want me to feature articles or pictures of any silent star in my next magazine post, just tell me and I'm sure I can find something interesting. I hope you guys enjoyed the post, and I can't wait to get my next one up! Love you guys, over and out.
