I am a magazine fanatic. My dream is a to have filing cabinet to catalog all my finds. Sad? Yes. But when you live in small space having the room for the "luxury" of a filing cabinet is a rarity. Hey, no judgements! Some people have shoes I have...shoes and filing cabinets. But one of the perks of working in the fashion industry is I HAVE to read magazines. And then hoard them until they are years out of date and filled with dust. But before that point, I do something I find completely satisfying. Before I dare even read the magazine I go thought it page by page throwing out everything I don't need. Really awful perfume sample, the 27 magazine subscription forms in any given issue, what ever "look at me aren't I gorgeous, I've put myself in my own ad again" Tom Form campaign that happens to be plaguing us that season. It cuts the issue in half, down my 3/4 Th's if you get Vogue on the right month. Easier to transport and easier to concentrate on the important stuff. Like whatever luxury item I will be trying to find my own way to rip off at the thrift store that month.
