I feel like some issues of Samira's Bazaar are soooooooo close to looking good, but everything ultimately flops. I was surprised by how the Feb cover with Gisele doesn't pop on the newsstand like I thought it might (but I bought the W Performance issue, so there's no accounting for taste).
Solange (and Gisele before) looks less miserable than most of the previous cover stars Bazaar has had... so something is moderately improving. I don't hate the cover. I feel like Bazaar (foreign editions included, except UK) are constantly trying to re-create the magic in the bottle that was Liz+Fabien, when ugh... they'll never be able to.
