Not only is "A Month Of Outfits" in the May issue of Lucky for the skinny who live in warm climates, it's for the very rich.

In an op-ed video about a subject we monitor very closely, Jesse Epstein explains why magazines should let readers know if images have been retouched. Check the Lucky cover made from four different images. [NY Times]

Editor: "I want to resist, yet I can't help thinking that they're actually really cool." Commenter: "Are these something you'd want to be wearing if you ran into an ex-boyfriend or current meangirl? And the price?…Insulting." [Lucky]

Screw the economy: Condé Nast's shopping magazine has launched an iPhone application which uses Lucky info and GPS to help you shop for shoes in your area. Increased credit limit not included. [NY Times]

The new issue of Lucky magazine, with the glowing and gorgeous Rosario Dawson on the cover, has a forward-looking fashion piece inside called "The Next Big Things '09." You'll find the "most wanted trends" for the new year: Oversize '80s earrings, cuban heels, cropped slouchy trousers. And, what the magazine calls…

Ali Larter is on NBC hit show Heroes. She's also on the cover of the May 2008 issue of Lucky magazine. And look! She was also on the cover of the March 2007 issue. The magazine that loves to repeat words is also repeating cover models! (They used the word "sophisticated" twelve times in the January issue.) Why does…

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…

Each month, we make it our mission to point out that the editors at Lucky are still in dire need of a thesaurus or two. Perhaps the constant exposure to minor variations of the same triangle bra has prevented them from getting one. (Or maybe there just aren't enough words in the English language to describe women's…

One of the reasons I never read Lucky is that the "real people" they choose to showcase their "foolproof outfits" never somehow cease to seem actually more unrealistically gorgeous/thin/put together than the average runway model; they're just, like, photographed less imaginatively. Witness January's Courtney Childs…

Earlier this year, we pointed out that the editors at Lucky might be in dire need of a thesaurus or two. Perhaps the constant exposure to minor variations of the same holiday cocktail dress has prevented them from getting one. (Or maybe there just aren't enough words in the English language to describe women's apparel…

We found Jessica Seinfeld's book, Deceptively Delicious to be just an eency bit annoying. So we were dying to see if her same smug self-righteousness would spill over into her so-called charitable works (though of course there are rumors that she stole the idea for her charity, too. Hmm.) Seinfeld helms a group called…

People have a certain feeling about a 'pageant girl,' opines former Miss Teen USA Vanessa Minnillo in next month's Lucky, page 35. They do! "But I learned a lot during that experience that you wouldn't expect, like how to dress in a respectful, sophisticated way that's still fun and appropriate for my age." Funny how…

In the space of a single year, the average reader of Lucky has seen her (or, haha, his!) household income rocket from $68,200 to $84,400, according to some highly credible research out today (and about which the publisher of Harper's Bazaar said something truly inspiring about a "shattering" of the "glass ceiling.")…

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…

Sometimes we think about the legacy left by the iconic Sassy Magazine. By which we mean, we think (in no particular order), about Sassy founding editor Jane Pratt's eponymous Jane Magazine; the post Jane-Jane pimping out of 30-year-old virginSarah Dimuro; Pratt losing her lesbian virginity to Drew Barrymore; former …
