Readers of Harper's Magazine refer to their magazine as Harper's; Harper's Bazaar readers refer to their glossy as Bazaar. The only possible confusion might between HM and a British title "Harper's and Queen", which many a reader simply calls "Harper's". With that latter, they have a case, but with Bazaar? Not really. All this really means is that the idiots are winning!

I've been embarrassed about having confused them since 1981 when a pudgy, bozo-coiffed, pearl-wearing librarian laughed at me. Thank you. This has been cathartic.

I just subscribe to both so I appear a self-satisfied liberal, yet fabulous at every age and shape.

Who can't tell these apart? One has on its cover a super hot machine that I'd like to take for a long ride. The other has a car.
