MY SHIP HAS FINALLY SAILED

Hello all,

I have finally achieved my ultimate goal!!! I was not only offered one internship but TWO in the space of one day! How strange after all this time. I am so so so excited to start at Cosmo on Monday and then move straight on to Marie Claire. I AM OVER THE MOON! SO I will be in Cape Town for the next two months and will be blogging from there. I will of coarse be filling you in on my experiences and using the knowledge I will gain in my blog -Persistence really does pay off! YAY. Have a fabulous weekend and until then chow chow!

BOOK OF THE MONTH

I am a major Vogue fanatic so its natural that the book of the month for me would be, "In Vogue: The Illustrated History of the Worlds Most Famous Fashion Magazine". If you heart Vogue and photography go grab one quickly. Here is a review on Amazon.com about the book- "What attracts you to Vogue? Chances are that element is represented someplace within the pages of In Vogue.To me, the photographs are the main appeal of Vogue. Since its founding on December 17, 1892, Vogue has attempted to capture current and future fashion through its images. The magazine has been blessed by talented work done by most of the world's best fashion photographers since then who brought us the most interesting society women, celebrities, cultural icons, and, of course, fashion models. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the book contained at least a few works by each of the greatest photographers to appear in Vogue. Most of the images were known to me, but a number were new. My main disappointment was that the photographers I like the most didn't have more photographs in the book. But the book is very bulky and heavy as it is. To my interest in the photographs came many essays about why the photographers were selected and what the editors asked them to accomplish. The interaction of the art directors and the photographers was particularly noteworthy in regard to covers. I have also spent many years as a management consultant in the magazine industry. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there's a pretty complete overview of the management thinking and decisions that led to Vogue becoming so successful.But the most interesting surprise came in the extended views into the editorial philosophies and working styles of the magazine's editors. Creating a fashion magazine is very demanding, and Vogue has been fortunate in its editors both for their energy and their vision for the reader.If neither business nor editing interest you, you'll still find lots of marvelous images to help you trace the development of fashion and style in the United States over the last 100 plus years.
