We've been dedicated to the idea that Details is in fact a gay magazine for some time, and more proof has arrived. Earlier this month we reported that the men's magazine sold its subscriber list to the gay themed Advocate, and now there's further evidence:Our tipster subscribes to magazines under different names to…
Ever since gay men's magazine Details launched, sharp-sighted observers—those with two eyeballs—have pointed out that it is, essentially, a gay magazine. We were writing about it five years ago! It's led to years and years of jokes about the magazine's gay contests and gay covers and gay vending machines. But now, at…
This here website (among many others) has been asking the same question for years. Is Details magazine gay? I mean, yeah, they pretty much are with all their fancy fashion ads and fancy men who are always gracing the cover. This month's bois are the dudes from teen soap Gossip Girl, and look! The cover is eerily…
It's complicated. God, is it ever. The same October Details story that follows around New York's "Internet playboys" and their bicoastal hangers-on runs with this chart of who dated, funded, or hated in this overdocumented side of the Web scene. So sweet to know we're not the only ones keeping a scorecard, but one of…
The September issue of Details features a two-page spread on Vito Schnabel, the son of painter-turned-movie director Julian Schnabel. Strangely, the headline, "The 22-Year-Old Art-World Power Broker: How Vito Schnabel became a big-time gallery owner—without his dad's help," is followed by an article detailing all…
Is this woman having an orgasm, or simply on The Hills? That is the question of the day on the Details (a gentleman-on-gentleman's monthly) and GQ (same, basically) website. They've taken a smattering of extreme facial expression close ups from the sun-soaked MTV reality "smash" (sometimes that's what the Brits call a…
Details Magazine executive editor Greg Williams was caught by a Times reporter sipping Snow Mosquitos, twee blueberry/ mint/ vodka drinks, at a terrifying den of yuppiedom called The Hideout in the already teetering hood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn . Look how precious:
Details editor Dan Peres—not gay but ok with that, unrepentant douchebag and totally ok with that—just had a kid! Peres' son, Oscar Dallas Wynter Peres, was born Monday and will be impeccably groomed. [WWD]
Details has finally ended its backpager, "Gay or...?" We did not realize it was still running! In any event, the sometimes-apologized-for "humor column" is now dead. [Ad Age]
So the tussle between the Details freelancer and Ben Affleck gets murkier. Says a spokesperson about the mag's correction, which says the piece quotes Affleck saying things he did not say: "Statements taken out of context.... Nothing fabricated." Well, they can't have it both ways. The New York Observer asks: "Will…
Today's Page Six provides a vehicle for Details editor Dan Peres to either school or destroy his former staffer and current freelancer Bart Blasengame. In a December editor's letter editor's note, Peres claims that Blasengame (who goes unnamed) printed a quote by Ben Affleck that Affleck "never made." Also, the…
Even though there aren't any gay neighborhoods anymore, all the gays in Latin America are still moving to New York to be Out and Proud. But they don't really need those lame old homosexualist ghettos because they're all super-rich. They can never go home again, despite their massive wealth, so they're forced to live…
Good question, Details! We asked our resident sexual etiquette expert. "Absolutely not," says My Cock. "Beg, wheedle, cajole, whatever you need to do. But a true gentleman never demands. Of course, that's not to say that you can't buy a certain pill and make her slightly more receptive. Nah, I'm kidding - it's…
Supposedly formerly cool Details editor Dan Peres doesn't want to be the new Dave Zinczenko, but, okay, he'll "get out there and shill" the new Details men's style book. [WWD]
Might Details go the way of ElleGirl, Teen People, Life and all those other magazines that close their print versions to go web? A source in the advertising industry has begun thinking that Details' days are numbered, spurred by the fact that many of latest issue's ads came through from bundled corporate ad sales,…
Conde Nast is rolling out its celeb-studded print ads, in a campaign called "Point of Passion." It's this nifty thing where people who might be in the magazines are shilling for the magazines! So you have Mary-Louise Parker posing for the New Yorker, and Patrick Dempsey working it for Details, and Richard Branson…
Late to the party with this one, but what a party it is: a Mandingo party, to be precise! This phenomenon, detailed in March's Details, entails a bunch of rich white men getting together a bunch of well-hung black men and then paying these persons to do their saggy wives. Wait, maybe not paying them: "Each guest at…
Damn, you people know a lot about pot. The flood of tips engendered by our solicitation for expert advice on current spot pricing resulted in a number of e-mails, but our favorite came late in the day:
