You’re probably a bit fed up with gnawing your thumbs as your await the consequences of our farcical general election, so here it is.
Presenting the long-awaited inorgural issue of a brilliant new magazine
Years ago I sent a memo to all my creative people reminding them of what they were up against, and quoted a series of headings largely culled from the front pages on women’s mags.
To this day I gain great pleasure from the stuff they print, but none of them, not even Grazia, which is the best, quite reaches the matchless heights of thrilling new
OVERANALYZING magazine which takes journalism just that little bit further than it has ever been before.
Thank you, George Machun for sending me this. I shall not waste a second subscribing. Oh, and yes, “inorgural” is a deliberate mistake.
Oh Dear!
Drayton in your – almost obsessive – search for the vulgar, you have missed an easy chance to be offer a subtle and more insightful comment.
The cover offers “Sex”: and delivers a major character from “Mad Men”.
In the past. your advice to creatives would have been to offer 'Free'.
In these days, 'Sex' often appears to work better than 'Free'.
The subtler – and more interesting – angle would have been to make the point, out of your own experience, that “Mad Men” makes about the way women came to be accepted in the business.
Kind Regards
