Daddy Dearest.

Yesterday, my father returned home from a business trip with a magazine in hand. A magazine for me! This was particularly exciting because it was the first magazine from another country that I've ever gotten my hands on (hands currently sporting a brilliant coral polish). The magazine is entitled La Vie En Rose and is from the UK. It's bigger than your average magazine, and the cover (same picture as above) is one of the most fun and interesting covers I've seen in a long time.

The cover itself is pretty great, besides the great picture it has minimal headlines, which are all in one corner. This way they do not distract from the picture itself. The cover also has a quote on it, and you should know I'm a sucker for a good quote. This one is from Humphrey Bogart, "The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind".

Inside the magazine were lots of amazing ads I had yet to see online or in print, and a lot of pictures from amazing runway shows. There was also a very impressive interview with comedian, Russell Brand. It was probably one of the best interviews I've ever read.

Creative and different I would have gladly subscribed to this magazine, however there wasn't any information about subscribing inside. (Interesting to me considering American magazines are always crammed full of those little cards asking you to subscribe.) I guess I'll be hitting up the bookstore more often in search of the magazine. Or I'll just have to convince somebody to take me abroad. Sounds like a solid plan!
