Luxury city magazines go first....

So my arch-nemesis, Niche Media, the company responsible for all the 'luxury city magazines' around the country fired everyone....and it's not fun to report because my friend Stephanie worked at Philly Style and is now unemployed. 


Going all the way to my grad school days, in my project (read: thesis) I talked about the difference between Luxury titles and traditional city magazines, pointing out that while the content is not entirely there, they would survive longer than their traditional counterparts because in the world of luxury cars and fashion, things like the 'recessions' don't bother advertisers.

Looks like I was wrong. Or at least didn't take into account all these luxury titles were owned by one company. Wonder what the story is there...

Gone to California to race hot rods...


Sorry for the lapse in posts. The best way to describe it is to tell you the story about my shopping experience yesterday. Helping out my best friend shop for a wedding dress, I mentioned to the saleslady how there was plenty of time before the wedding---liz is trying to schedule something in early january.

her response? 'THIS january?'

And suddenly, just like that, I realized it was half-way through October.
