Back in the dark days of 2007, Jane magazine was fighting for its life — and so, it placed these ads in Women’s Wear Daily to capture the attention of people who still spent money on magazines.
In an interview with Can I Get A Man With That, Tracy Grandstaff, who voiced Daria, addresses some lingering issues surrounding our favorite Misery Chick, and answers questions from Diablo Cody, Tavi Gevinson, and Jane Pratt in that dulcet monotone.
Lucky was once called the successor of Sassy, and now it's being taken over by the former editor of Jane, which was the official successor to Sassy. Will you read? (Or... will you flip through and use those little stickers?)
It wasn't easy for a starlet to get through this decade with her cover-worthy popularity intact. These women survived waning attention spans and editorial capriciousness to emerge with their newsstand cred unscathed. Number one isn't who you think it is.
It sucks big time that Daria isn't available on DVD (only the two made-for-TV movies are). Apparently, it has something to do with music licensing problems. But there are some bootleg torrents available online, and we recently watched some episodes from the third season. One that totally escaped us at the time (we…
So much nineties today! The latest Page Six Magazine profiles Jane Pratt, a legendary magazine editor whose "unique personality" it describes in a phrase demonstrative of why Page Six Magazine is the only good thing about Sundays, as "a mix of Peter Pan, Carrie Bradshaw and Simone de Beauvoir." She's still not really…
We were left with a big cliffhanger on last night's Fashionista Diaries when Andrew and Rachel received text messages from Bridget (who heard from Cunt Face, who read it on the internet) that Jane magazine was folding. The poor kids were sitting in a conference room eating lunch, blissfully unaware of all the…
The esteemed writers of the Sassy book have finally eulogized, all gravitas-y and "dying publications are like leaking balloons" and shit, the magazine we once called Jane. Marisa Meltzer and Kara Jesella subscribe, as a lot of Janeeologists have, to the notion that Jane was the casualty of readers' love-hate…
So what's become of that subscription offer on the Jane website now that Jane is officially dead? An invitation to subscribe to Glamour, a "dorky" reader tips us. How dorky?
Oooh, tell us more! Well for starters, the food was not exactly awesome.. Ouch! Good thing no one but Intern Maria ever sees what we actually…
Jane Pratt just won't shut up about how actually she really hated Jane after Conde Nast ousted her ass. In fact, she wonders why the whole world didn't just come to a screeching halt the day she left! "I have some questions why they stayed after it became crappy," she said on her ragingly popular satellite radio show…
The internal memo about the demise of Jane Magazine is making the rounds, and we've got a copy. The summary: It was a difficult decision to shut down the magazine, and Conde Nast President/CEO Charles H. Townsend says that his company has come to believe "that the magazine and the website will not fulfill our…
Last Thursday I had a date with Sarah DiMuro, the 30 year old virgin-on-hiatus from her role as the Jane Magazine 30 year old virgin. We didn't have sex, though she gave me a hug (I think I initiated it) but she's not the kind of girl you really want to hug, not because she isn't warm and genuine, but because she's…
If there is one thing we are more soooooo sick of than Avril Lavigne giving interviews about how she is soooooo sick of everyone talking about how she is this, like, tomboy in Chuck Taylors and suspenders because she is suuuuuch a feminine grown-up now (and p.s. Mark Jacobs and Proenza whatever and every other cool…
Brandon Holley's April editor's letter in Jane is getting lots of play online today. WWD reports on changes to the magazine trumpeted in Holley's latest reader-directed missive, the reasons for Jane's falling newsstand stales last year (Holley says its due to magazine's price-raise from $1.99 to $2.99), and Holley's…
Jane Magazine's website has a mildly-interesting but potentially-fun feature called "Rate My Outfit", in which regular women are asked to submit photos of themselves for visitors to vote on.
It's tough running a magazine, you know, and it appears the strain of it all is getting to Jane Magazine's Brandon Holley.
Poor Brandon Holley. Having given astoundingly unfunny 'comic' Sarah DiMuro a whole three months in which to lose her virginity and win a book deal after blogging her efforts, the Jane Magazine editor finds herself saddled with someone who couldn't apparently lose her virginity if she laid naked on the cobbles of the…
There's a certain type of male journalist who makes his living writing for women's magazines about how crap men are.
