What do you do with your fashion mags?

[kkeroko]

I toss them after a couple of months.

Great shot Pavement. How are you going to keep the newspaper from yellowing?

 

[kitsch]

I keep them (British Vogue, The Face, i-D, Another Magazine, POP...) stacked in order by date/type in one side of my wardrobe. Perfectionist, much?

I can't throw them away. That would be wrong.

 

[kissmesweet]

Oooooh. I keep them on my window sill. Ordered by name & dates. It's all very pretty!

 

[GorguzLaChick]

i toss some of the stuffs i don't like, but if it's my fave model i would keep it.

 

[MakeUpJunkie]

This is absolutely pathetic. I just bought a copy of the new Allure (which I subscribe to already) just so I can cut up the magazine without guilt.

The worst part? I can't figure out the best way to cut it. Its a GREAT issue. I don't want to ruin it. Any advice?

 

[leblue15]

I keep them and ocasionally re-read them

Slice down the middle -- you'll penetrate the spine, but it's really no big deal. Once you've done that, you should be able to carefully peel off each page on the two sides of where you sliced without damaging or tearing the entire page. Just keep peeling from that point on and slice more if necessary

I do too.. and I take out ads and pictures I like and put them up on my wall or make collages

 

[StilettosAddict!]

I used to keep every single magazine I buy, but now that there is no more space in my room I started cutting my fav articles, pics, ads and throw away the magazine.

I think it's much easier than that. Just peel off the cover and start from the beginning.

I keep them if they have good editorials ... if not rip out inspiring ads, pictures, and pages that are useful and then bin the rest.

me too

i have many-many with good editorials
have them and the rip-outs in a bureau and moved with them a week ago in another city
it was ok, but maybe i´ll rip out also the good editorials somedays

 

[honeyisle]

I keep them all (hundreds) and now there's a stack beside the bed that is a makeshift night table. By boyfriend thinks I should seek help...

Yes, well you should see the reaction if one is a straight guy!!! I fit no known category..
I try to tear through the others and only keep the Vogues; I'm working on every Anna helmed issue (since 11/89)... I think medication is called for; I now have over 30 binders full of fashion shows (curse you, Wire Image and FirstView!!) ads and editorials... Maybe a fashion 12 step program is in order...!!

Indeed. As another straight guy who loves fashion magazines--I usually pick up the US and British issues of Vogue, Elle and HB, Italian Flair and Vogue plus others (sometimes many others) that catch my eye. Finally picked up a scanner a couple of years ago--it was the best $200 I ever spent--so that now I have lots of edits and ads scanned and burned onto CDs. Saves a lot of space.

I Save Them...i Am Cut All The Thing That I Need (ads Of My Fave Models And Such), And Stuff To My Fashion Notebook (like Some Cute Bags I Will Cut Them And Put Them On The Notebook-it Seems Really Cute)... i Will Never Throw A Mag! I Know I Will Allways Need Them For Enything...

 

[lmelanie]

my fashion mags are currently causing a fire hazard all over my room..

 

[kanita]

I keep them all, I use them for school, in my school fashionmagazines are like schoolbooks, lucky me

As a third streight guy, I really can't throw the mags away, especially Flair, V and Numero. There's more compassion in the real thing than scanned one! You can...feel it.

Does anyone have any advice for storing W magazines?
