Mallory's Pop Culture Roundup

[missbingley]

Mallory's Pop Culture Roundup is a new feature that I'm bringing to you kind people, where I read magazines and watch TV for you so that you won't have to. You can thank me later.

Allure

Cover Model: Jessica Simpson.
Initial Thoughts: "Ew, why does Heidi Klum look so ugly? Oh, ew. Ew. Jessica Simpson on the cover of my magazine. Ew."

The April issue of Vogue is pretty good; I thought the articles about obesity and diets and stuff were somewhat interesting, but I could have used more. I think I'm the biggest fan of Vogue for its fashion photography more than I am for any articles it may write. Then again, it's Vogue, so its strength really isn't supposed to be writing deep and intelligent articles. They leave that to Vanity Fair. Oh, Conde Nast Publications. How I long to work for you one day

Oh, I nearly threw Vogue out the window. I fucking hate the Shape Issue. Plus, they used Veronica Webb as a model. I have long standing, famous issues with Veronica Webb. Ugh.

SJP is so cuuuuuuuute.

And Yoanna is beyond pretty. Her final portfolio on the ANTM website is lovely.

I know, I saw it this morning and nearly died. How wonderful. It has renewed my goal to become America's Next Top model. well not really, but like. model-like?

Veronica Webb sucks.

Shake ya body body, Mal.

I'd kill for her cheekbones. Well, maybe not kill, but seriously punch someone at the very least.

Veronica Webb can BITE ME. I have never hated a model more than I hate her. She's one of the most loathesome celebrities ever.

Come on tell me what's good wit you, I'm feeling you while you're feeling me, I'm feeling like I can dance all night, So tell me if you can handle me...

Ahem. Not that I listen to that song or anything.

[coast]

Not that i HAVE THE MP3 or anything.

Yah, Yo's cheekbones are to die. did you hear about how apparently it's her on the new sephora catalog? i remember thinking that when i first got it in the mail but didn't think much of it because mostly it doesn't look like her. but UPN failed to comment and sephora just said it isn't her but wouldn't say who the model was, haha.

[missbingley]

Nah, we're far too good to listen to Tyra's song. Or watch the video on BET.

Ahem.

I remember hearing about the Sephora drama, but I thought tha tthey said her name was Cassia? Or something? That could be a lie. It doesn't really look like Yoanna at all.

Word, word, triple word!!!

The Shape issue needs to be retired, like, last year! If they were serious about it, they'd cut the "thin" and "tall" categories. Isn't every single fucking other Vogue issue already about thin and tall people. "Pregnant" is just their excuse not to feature actual non-thin people. Gah.

And I LOVE your Reese icon! She needs to get back on the social radar. It's not fun without her.

Re: Word, word, triple word!!!

[missbingley]

Seriously, the Shape Issue SUCKS. And, of course, the pregnant women are models who are stick thin, except for their bellies. Yet I keep reading...I don't know why.

Reese is crazy adorable. I love her as Elle Woods, I really do.
