Vogue Paris December 2008/January 2009 : Stéphanie de Monaco by Mert & Marcus

I'm pretty sure it's everywhere in the UK now

But I hate seeing old issue's on the stands.

A little story for you about my purchase of this issue today I am a fanatic about perfect, un-creased issues. I took it to the till and bought it. Got it home, and noticed half the back cover was ripped I wasn't that bothered though, because I don't really look at the back cover

Well, when you stand in the shop and inspect every copy to ensure you buy the most perfect one, people probably see you and think you're mad or have some sort of OCD.

That said, I still do it. I hate misprinted spines, where the cover picture 'slides' onto the side.

Another thing I hate is pages inside that have big printing 'spills' on them - like a runny droplet down the page - and there's never any way of seeing those before you buy, unless you go through every page, but no-one's that mad.

This issue is so 80's

Thats what i do.

I dont care if people think i have OCD, i want my mag to be "perfect" i hate tearings.etc with passion, so i make sure the copy i pick up is indeed up to my standard.

Vogue28 i'm sorry to hear you got a bad one.

so far i expected more from a December issue, but hopefully a saving grace will come along. the calendar's pinup theme was executed flawlessly, but it still comes off as very safe and expected. last year's calendar with the body art was gorgeous.

thanks Berlin and Diorette for scanning

 

[wongak]

damn.... i could not get the calendar.... because i am so looking forward for it.... damn it Hong Kong sucks... but anyway, hopefully i can get the calendar when i arrive in UK during Jan....

I totally know what you mean. I hate those spills.

 

[Li Ya Fan]

It's one of my favorite covers this year. Thanks for all the scans.

Terry Richardson is trash!

 

[Northern Star]

^^The whole issue is trash I really am not impressed at all.

uhhh ... some of us are that mad

I don't care about the issue itself, but I really wanted the calendar even if it wasn't perfect like last year's IMO...so I went to the bookstore and spotted Stephanie's cover, but alas, no calendar in Holland...so I left it where it was. Boo

 

[alix*]

^ I want the calendar too...
But there's no calendar over here either

 

[vogue28]

Does the calendar only come with the issue in France? Or just to subscribers?

 

[Starry]

So I guess this time no one would get the calendar with the issue outside France.

 

[thiago:)]

What about David Sims ed? I saw 9 pictures from it. Are they just a preview or there are more pictures ?

Only in France (but not just for subscribers).

 

[vogue28]
