It was a soporific, sunny, Sunday afternoon (a nod to one of my favorites, Gabriel Garcia Marquez), so I went hunting for some periodicals.
Prior to the internet, I had a voracious appetite for magazines. One of my favorites is the New York magazine (the other New York favorites being the Village Voice/Sunday NYT). The Sept. 8th issue has Hugh Jackman on the cover.
The Oct. 2nd issue of the Rolling Stone features Britney Spears, virtually
buck naked, even in comparison to her recent RS covers. Rolling Stone is hit or miss with me, but being a red-blooded american male, I fell prey to the lascivious, body-popping photo.
Both issues caught my eye since they feature a Hot List. Both focus on primarily pop culture, although the NY magazine peppers its list with the obscure, vernacular, and artiste-tic.
Good reads both of them...catch them if you have the time.
