For the last 6 months, Esquire Magazine has been building up to their annual "Women We Love" issue by gradually revealing their "Sexiest Woman Alive". I received my issue in the mail today,and boy am I disappointed. When I say that they were "gradually revealing", I mean that literally. Each issue has featured a 2-page foldout photo of a woman's feet, legs, torso, chest, etc... If one were to cut them out, you could probably make youself an almost-lifesize girl. In addition to the photos, each month a few bits of trivia about the so-called "Sexiest Woman Alive" were revealed: * She shares her birthday with the inventor of a brilliant scheme. * She is not Sarah Michelle Gellar, but they have ...
My favorite magazine, Esquire, is running a little survey over at their site. It's a single-elimination-tournament featuring the 64 "best" bands in the world. I'm a little dumbfounded at who did and did not make the cut, but it was fun regardless. As of now, the band I moved into the finals - R.E.M. - has a pretty sizable lead over the field at 12%, and those hacks U2 holding the 3rd slot with 8%. If you've got some time to kill, go check it out.
I received the January 2005 issue of Esquire in the mail today. I haven't had the time to read through it yet, but it's potentially the best issue ever. I thought *last* month was the best ever - an interview with Bill Murray, and a piece on Ricky Williams. It's the annual "Meaning of Life" issue. What's usually a one-pager, they've taken my favourite part of the magazine - "What I've Learned" - and made it the lead. So, where you typically get insight into one person a month, this month you get like 10. The masthead of the cover reads "Enlightenment, illumination, Sandwiches". How great is that? Clooney. I'm greatly looking forward to giving it a read. Maybe next ...
As those who know me, uh... know, I'm a subscriber and big fan of Esquire magazine. Historically, I have taken the night or two following the arrival of the latest issue in my mailbox as "magazine night[s]", whereupon I sit myself in bed and read for a few hours. Late last week, I received the September issue. In it, among other things, was a small ad directing me to go to the website and participate in the "The Women You Love Survey". Here's the lead-in from the site: Who's the sexiest Bush daughter? The hottest Survivor? The foxiest first lady (in her prime)? ...
I can't say that I'm a fan of his music. Actually, I can't say that I'm not, either - I've only heard one song. But for the last 3 months, John Mayer has been writing a short column ("Resident Rock Star") for My Favourite Magazine - Esquire. It's not really about anything, just his musings and insight. It's actually pretty good stuff. Last month, he wrote about some of his ideas and suggestions for the record industry. Here's one I enjoyed; I can only assume he's talking about the RIAA suing P2P users: ยป Stop suing kids. If R. Kelly can't piss on 'em, you can't, either. This month, he recapped some of the highlights from his recent credit-card ...
