Do you need to prove your net worth before buying a copy?

Power plus glamour... sounds like "George" the Second.

The pillow is a great merch branding tool, because even in it's first issue is tired and needs a blankie and put off to bed.

I wonder about the business sense of advertisors who take out 50k-100k page ads in this Conde Nast fantasy, and what that says about American style business practices as a whole. Is your target market He-Man fans who want to see Tiger Woods sold like a piece of meat at Nasdaq? If so, have a pillow!

And what Clare said.

"Idea lab" = "place to workshop with the Hedge Fund purchased prostitutes"

As every good portfolio manager knows, if you have a good model, just go with you.

@Clare: Actually the issue as pictured is only for prime ministers of a parliamentary governments and is therefore correct.

@Clare: Seriously. If you're spending $125 million to make the mag a "success," just go nuts and hire a couple of fucking copy editors. Christ.

Do we need to go through this again?

Premier: An adjective that describes something that is first in rank or importance.

Premiere: A noun that is the first performance (generally of a play or film, but a magazine works too).

What I look for in a business publication is superior office accessories. And when I'm looking to hire an architect, he or she better know how to fly fish for tarpon.

Heh. After checking out that blog, all I can say is: Is Tom Wolfe supposed to be the real-life male counterpart of Becky Bloomword (the heroine of the Shopaholics novels, who at the beginning of the series faked her way into financial journalism)?

If so, I hope that he has a better grasp on his personal finances than she does... ;)

I remember years ago a roomate of mine came home from a temp job depressed that she had spent the whole day taking dictation at a meeting of people debating the colors of nex Dixie cups. My new goal in life is to be the person who chooses colors for pillows.

I'm hearing that many businesses are sending their employees home early so that they may buy and enjoy the debut issue. Kind of a quasi national holiday.
