I might have admitted this already but I love men's style magazines. Most women think that the magazines are masoginistic and only talk about booze and tits, but take the time to read one and you will find that the articles are extremely well written, poignant, and insightful on their topics. The reason I bring this topic up is because GQ Magazine has been on a roll with their feature articles. Two Months ago Justin Timberlake was on the cover, and last month was Kanye West (If you have not read that article I suggest you find it, and tell me if you do not love Kanye after it) this month is Robert Pattinson, and I hear through the grapevine next month will be Zac Efron? Uh, KU-DOS to GQ for picking up some awesome covers.
Ladies, I'm telling you...put down the Cosmo. You will learn nothing about your fave hot celebs there. Those interviews are by women, so of course the stars are going to say what Cosmo's women readers want to hear. If you want to get some insight at how they really think pick up a Men's magazine where they were interviewed. This might make me sound like a traitor to my sex, but the interviews wered one by guys with guys...there is no one to impress. So the stars are going to say what they really feel. For instance, We all know at this point that I love me some R-Patz....but he's like king of the emos in the interview. Kanye West is not a diva...although I think he might have some type of OCD. A while back there was a great feature on Jake Gyllenhaal, who might, in fact, be gay...because his interview was dripping with all of these little blurbs that just made him sound, well....completely fabulous if you know what I mean. So what I'm trying to say, the real stories about our favorite male stars are in the men mags.
Have you ever read a Cosmo interview with a male celeb? All the questions have nothing to do with the star himself, just how the star would be with a woman, and women this and women that. (Ugh...I sound like such a dude) I mean, I guess that's great for Cosmo because that's the audience, but it doesn't offer any true insight into the star's head. Romantically sure, but I think we all know that the average Jane is not going to bump into R-Patz in the street and have him fall madly in love with her just because she was wearing his favorite type of perfume on woman. Maybe if she knew he couldn't stand lulls in conversation, or that he's actually kind of a wimp when it comes to women...well...maybe Jane would have the upper hand, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. And sure, GQ interviews are only interviews as well, there is so much more depth to the stars than interviews could ever offer a reader, but for some reason...Men's magazines hit their target more so than the women's magazines.
Oh, and have you seen the picture editorials??? Swoooooon!! GQ is a Men's fashion Mag...so they gotta sell some men's fashion. All of the feature stars are put into designer men's clothing. Sweet baby Jesus, a suit never looked so good on a man.
I guess GQ just does for men what Vogue does for women. I wonder if guys read Vogue to find out about their favorite female stars for the same reasons I read GQ?
Anyway, props to you GQ, for always doing outstanding interviews with Hollywood's hottest eye candy. I loved the past month's features, and if Zac Efron is posing in Dior men's couture for your new cover, then count me in for next month's sale's quota. And to my ladies, I'm serious, the men's magazine's are where it's at. It's like adult Teen Bop....on crack.
Until next time, happy reading, ladies.
