Edie Sedgwick, slight return

[substitute]

The Los Angeles Times Magazine has been in decline at least since 1986.

They have tried to recast themselves as the New York Times Magazine, as a Southern California Lifestyle Thing like Sunset Magazine, as maybe four other things. Nothing works.

This week they managed to hit a new low with a feature article on a young woman named Cory Kennedy

I hesitate to say that I don't see what makes her so interesting since, sadly, it makes me feel old and/or out of touch

I wanted to say that too, but I felt the same way.

She is incredibly unfortunate looking, in a way only teenage hipsters can be.

I hate this article on so many levels. I cant handle people that are famous for absolutely nothing. Does she have like a flexible asshole or a raging high IQ? Give me something here.

Living in LA, I see literally hundreds of girls with this look. They do hair, bartend, go to school. Just normal...people.

Cobrasnake is a douche with customized luggage, horrible political views (google his take on the war on Iraq "everyone should be happy, this isn't vietnam, la dee da") and even worse ironic facial hair that has gone from homely to campy ironic to leather bar gay and back to homely about 300 times.

The general public needs to surrender the fantasy- and the 16 year-old. This isn't interesting, its sad.

A flexible IQ and raging asshole.

I used to like Shawn Hubler as a writer.

I also used to like the Times Magazine.

Now, neither.

Kind of makes me glad I spent my own adolescence reading algorithms textbooks and masturbating.
