Glossed Over
 Glossed Over patrols the border between high style and high sleaze that snakes through the nation's fashion magazines. From Cosmopolitan to W, no monthly mag slips through unexamined, and few gushy profiles emerge unscathed. Mandates issue forth ("Memo to Allure: Celebrities not always trendsetters"), truisms sprout ("News flash: not all men are worth knowing"), and an unsparing tally lists stats (number of plus signs on Elle's May cover: three). The categories alone are worth the visit. We loved the murders' row of absurdity, accessories, and André Leon Talley, Vogue's editor-at-large. Speaking of Vogue, all devilish editrixes get their comeuppance, of course. But in the end, this is tough love at work. Glossed Over bemoans the dearth of supermodels on covers these days and still lists all the lambasted periodicals as "required reading."
