    Lucky Magazine's Idea Of "Sexy" Simply Isn't

    Captions are just sooooooooo hard to write sometimes! The effort it takes Lucky magazine editors to describe the true essence of the latest satchel or wedge must be so backbreaking that they often dump redundancy in favor of just making shit up. (Granted, most of the invented words are just real words with "-y" added to the end like "antiquey," "blousy," or "goddessy". But the annoyingly stupid ones like "glowifying" "louche" and "hipsterish" (used twice!) really just, I don't know, blow.) Don't get us wrong, there are times that we enjoy turning off our brains and numbly flipping through Lucky with only two reactions: "Bleh" or "THAT'S CUTE." [What about: "Yes!" and "Maybe"? -Ed.] But since we actually read women's magazines so you don't have to, we can't help but point out the biggest offender in the April Lucky: "sexy," used some twelve times. After the jump, we show you what's "sexy" on the pages of the magazine we love to hate and hate to love.

    Lucky Says: "Low-key (and sexy!) Hair and makeup" Where: On the cover, referring to the hair and makeup feature starting on page 180, specifically this type of eyeliner.

    Lucky Says: "A sexy fresh blend of Egyptian Jasmine, Turkish Rose attar, and Damascus plum." Where: page 164

    Lucky Says: "As a manicure, it's too daring for me, but there are those who will pull it off; on toes, its sexy and funny, which is the best one can hope for in polish, no?" Where: page 176
