how can you not love Vogue ? in this day in age of reality tv , do it you self magazine , and everything banal that Americans love so much , it be really quite wonderful to have a fantasy . who want to read about themselves ? certainly not I . I love Vogue 's photography and I really like the fact that they often publish photo that push the envelope , then someone will write a letter to the editor in a fury , and Vogue will publish the photo again - little tiny this time - right by they little letter . but c'mon now - what other fashion magazine can you read that also talk art , politics , and food ? yes , even people who can keep they food down like this magazine . Jeffery Steingarten be informative and entertaining , Irving Penn be a genius , the art direction be chic and smart , and the editor do a great job keep a instituion alive and modern .
