Allure's got to keep itself alive by any means. An awkward cover shot to match the awkward cover line.
I get this magazine every month, and I don't mind what the new editor is doing, because she hasn't shifted radically from the formula that Linda Wells created, but still, it often feels like there's a wind blowing through the magazine, because there's an empty sense to the pages, so I'm giving it until the end of the year before I abandon the title.
