Business Class to Switzerland? Oh, the humanity! As someone who spent years flying coach in and out of Cincinatti and Indianapolis may I hear them cry me a river? And not the "good" coach, either. The seats in the back, next to bathroom and galley, that don't recline. #media
See, the shelter blogs have to get their images somewhere. It can't all be photos of their vintage sock monkeys on their reproduction Scandinavian sideboards. (That's what she said.) So what happens now, that most of the shelter magazines are relics or are heading in that direction? #magazines
@RodetheTrolleywithStanwyck: Design Sponge has made a living off sock monkeys and faux Scandinavian sideboards. And Etsy-purchased pillows. She doesn't repost too much from the shelter mags.
Is anyone liking Lonny? (www.lonnymag.com) They've reincarnated Domino and it looks great, I just wish I could have it in real old school paper magazine form. I guess all good porn is now on-line. #magazines
@gladys_kravitz: You're right, but often comes up for at least one or two posts a day. Same for AT. (And Grace @ Design Sponge got her start at H&G, I believe.)
I am a bit biased--I'm a decor writer, and its tough to see the niche fall.
Don't like Lonny...content is good, but hate the faux-mag format. #magazines
I am literally sitting here with my mouth open. First Conde takes my Domino and now HFMUS pulls this on me? My home decorating porn stash is now empty. What happened to the rumor of shutting Elle Decor? please tell me the profile raising of Margaret Russell on HGTV didn't play into this. Met Home was by far the superior book, in my opinion. #magazines
This is sickening. There is just no crossover between Elle Decor and Met Home. Met Home is for lovers and appreciators of Modern Design and its aesthetic. Elle Decor is for a bunch of tasteless sorority girls that think its fun to decorate rooms in contrasting plaids and florals.
I can't take much more of this. All my touchstone mags (Gourmet, Met Home, Cargo) are getting cut loose. Obviously media companies need to dumb it down and go lowest common denominator in order to preserve profit but pretty soon, all we'll be left with is pedestrian fare (Rachel Ray, Food Network Mag, etc) with little to no aspirational message. #magazines
In related news, Coffee Table manufacturers stock plummeted on Wall Street as investors absorbed the news that there was now nothing left to put on them. #magazines
So is the silver lining message of all of this is that online alternatives for similar news is thriving? Because lord knows luxury living is actually thriving; perhaps the media used to share news/info for stuff like this has just changed. #magazines

I'm trying to figure if the lack of Girl Wonders is because of patent sex bias on the part of the media gatekeepers, or if it's because they've got cooties and (except for Mom) are sorta yucky. #wehateyourkids

I wonder when the economy turns around if many of these folded magazines will be back or will they be gone forever? Anyone? #magazines
