October mags.

- I do like GQ's 50th Anniversary issue. I wanted the Paul Newman cover--I received Johnny Depp. That's cool I guess. For last year's Men of the Year issue, I wanted Jay-Z; I received Will Ferrell. I suppose that's the downside of subscriptions. Of the top 50 men of style, several designers are included like Slimane, Saint-Laurent, and Givenchy. In the top 15 to watch for the next 50 years, not a single designer--no Tom Ford, Thom Browne, or Nicolas Ghesquiere. Not a one. Either US GQ is ignoring the fashion world, or they made a huge oversight.

- Although we all probably could've guessed it, Justin Timberlake and Jake Gyllenhaal do not dress themselves for events. Surprise! Gyllenhall uses stylist sisters Clare and Nina Hallworth; Timberlake, Annie Psaltiras. And I thought those two guys just "had it"...at least Jake! Justin's "FutureSex/LoveSounds" look was a little, well, styled. But he did make me covet a YSL three-piece suit, for sure.

- Also received Men's Vogue. I love that Ralph Lauren has a big layout. He deserves major props. He is American men's fashion.

- I received October's Details a while ago. I always love what they do over there. So they need to keep it up. I don't know if I agree with their top ten item list, though. Isn't it just a rehash of last year's from nearly every F/W issue? All criticism aside, their editorials are always incredible and they have the best fashion coverage, I think.
