Got my print subscription copy of the UK version - it's 104 pages, and it feels like there's hardly any advertising in this issue. Inside front cover gatefold ad is Chanel with Lulu Tenney.
I don't know how many times the Vanities section has introduced us to a new face where, about halfway through the profile, it mentions that their parents happen to be a director or a screenwriter whose name may or may not be that well-known by the public, but are nevertheless well-established in the industry. This month we have Molly Gordon.
The interview with Scarlett Johansson isn't some two-part profile, it goes on for about six pages of text. My eye randomly falls on a section where she talks about working with Bill Murray on Lost in Translation - wasn't easy, by the sound of it.
There's a profile of Democrat congressman Ro Khanna - this is the second issue in a row where Vanity Fair appears to be covering potential Democrat hopefuls for the future.
The Twin Peaks article is one where it references fan theories on youtube, so I'd describe it as a light-hearted look at the enduring fascination with the show.
Kathy Bates is shot by Norman Jean Roy for her feature; only two images.
Janine di Giovanni revisits Syria to see the current state of affairs, another lengthy piece.
I'm not currently familiar with John Landgraf's work, so his profile could be about anything.
Molly Jong-Fast has contributed a piece about her mother's dementia, "feminist icon and literary celebrity" Erica Jong. I approach this article with trepidation. Not only is there always the wish to remember someone as they were, there's also always something that doesn't sit well, when hearing about the disintegration of a woman who once occupied a prominent role in society, as if time finally took her down a peg or two. This may be Molly's account of something that's deeply affecting her, but it's also a closing chapter about Erica that she doesn't get to write herself.
Back page Proust Questionnaire is Kevin Bacon.
