This Fashion Week you can't seem to sit anywhere without finding a copy of October's 944 magazine under your bum. Or in your giftbag. Or in the bathroom. I must have at least 5 copies in my car.
It's a great read - you should check out the L-Word-esque Pizza Rustica ad two pages from the back. Who knew Italian food could be so sexy? And what about those lip implants five pages from the back cover...it's the blond Lisa Rinna!
There's an ad for Brent Bolthouse's awesome new club spot Area 310, and a few pages later (after a 20-page T&A lingerie spread), you'll find a story all about this great new club...called Area 310! Then there's a big piece on the "faces of Smashbox cosmetics". And a story about loft-living, just a few pages after an ad for Spalofts. Hurrah for advertorial!
The masthead is the best - Davis Factor, who co-runs Smashbox, is one of their photographers. The KROQ DJ Stryker is also a writer. Hilariously, they have a writer called Brock Landers, in honor of Dirk Diggler's porn character, perhaps? Or maybe Brock The Freelance Writer is "gifted", just like Big Man in 'Trapped in the Closet'...
In conclusion: 944 magazine is, in my opinion, a most valuable anthropoligical tool. Essential reading for anyone interested in finding out how LA really works, the secrets hidden within the pages of 944 magazine will tell you much more than any guide book ever could.
PS: On page 79 it says they are looking for new editorial talent - you think they'll give me a job?
