The new POP is out!

Just saw the new POP in the in the mag shop, hidden in the men's mag section - Stam on the cover, plus all the usual stuff inside - Iselin and Freja get the Mert & Marcus treatment, plus there's a Solve Sundsbo portrait series where various models (Stam, Lisa Cant) are like futuristic 'white light' vampires and freaks, all airbrushed creamy skin and fake teeth. Nice thick issue, lots of stuff inside. Guinevere's in there, as well as Gemma, and much much more.
Um, and when I say 'all the usual stuff' - that's the issue's biggest downfall. It looks like any other issue of POP, using the same photographers and inserting the models of the moment.
The creamy, simple vampire editorial I instantly adore, but the rest I could take or leave - and the final insult is that I put POP back on the shelf and bought Allure instead.
It's like POP has passed the point where it has anything new to offer. It's a solid production with tons of content - but I don't find it as exciting as I used to. It's not an impulse purchase any more.
Besides, I've already bought 6 other mags today.
