    Print journalism is official dead.


    Stunts like this make it not worth saving anyway.

    In order to economize I've let most of my magazine subscriptions expire and there are some magazines that I miss desperately (Food & Wine I miss youuuuuuuu!!!!) but not even once have I missed Allure. This post just confirms that when the good times come back I won't need to renew Allure - I'll have you guys to share the inanity!

    What ticks me off beyond the obvs abuse route they took is that really they had a nugget of an idea that coulda be great if excuted differently. If the women were shown as strong and confident. If there were a way to emulate this shot:



    Just the power the dominance without any kinda sexual innuendo (like their gonna make out afterwards) but still "sexy".


    I know I'm high for expecting this from a fashion mag. Carry on.

    @ApteryxAwl: Is that like mom's warning to wear clean underwear because you never know what will happen? I first heard that in a CPR class. I was sufficiently appalled that when hurt in an accident I should be focused on my underwear and how cute I look to the paramedics. Somehow I thought one should focus on being safe and trying to get help.

    I'm less upset about this only because it appears she got it being a badass woman boxing and not glorifying a significant other beating her or something like that. There is a difference. Don't get me wrong this is bizarre and wrong on several levels but it isn't as if it was made to seem like her being a victim of domestic abuse is sexy.

    @foco fo-SHO!: Exactly. It's not great. More creepy and unsettling. I think my standards for these magazines are so low that I'm happy no one's actually being outwardly shown as a victim like in other things.

    If she looked like she was boxing it might be okay. No way was girlfriend boxing in feathers and that giant bedazzled studded encroachment across her chest.

    Sigh. Had the spread actually shown them hitting out - rather than being hit - this might have worked.


    Anyway! This is how it's really done:

    So glad you guys addressed this -- I was so taken aback when I saw it! The paramedics in the background make the whole thing so much more dramatic too. I understand they were going for boxing but I don't think it mentioned that in the TOC...

    @emandem: You're right it would feel a lot less ominous if she was in a ring with a coach or a ref next to her -- and we could see that her opponent was a woman. Because this is the same woman right? Oh wait I guess their budget only covers one chick and someone else's chest.


    DO NOT DO PHOTOSHOOTS LIKE THIS IN THAT CASE.

    It's not Allure's fault. I'm always being clumsy and making the ladymag mad. She doesn't mean to eyeshadow me she's just stressed out about the economy.

    Ok true story. When I was in college I was a photo major. Senior year we had after hours darkroom privileges. I used to bring a six pack with me to the color darkroom which as some of you may know are pitch black. It was late and I was some combination of drunk/tired and ended up hitting my face on one of the enlargers and giving myself a huge shiner. For the duration of that shiner men were constantly hitting on me asking about my eye as an opening for conversation.


    HOW FUCKING WEIRD IS THAT.
