Tracey: Sometimes we think so much alike it's almost eerie! I wrote about the very same thing at my own blog.

I love how the cover says 840 pages of fearless fashion when, in fact, I'm getting exactly 113 pages of content created by something other than their advertizers (how much of that is Table of Contents, Editor's Note, and Contributors?). As cirby wrote, that a pretty measely content-to-advert ratio.And sorry (NOT!) to Anna Wintour, but the issue is boring. Staid, knit-witted (the section on handknit pieces is hilarious, and not in a good way), and dull. The cover feature with Sienna in Rome for the Valentino Anniversary was lovely, but a rare bright spot in an otherwise moribund publication.
