]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I liked it and had a subscription -- which was supposed to start this month. Boo.

It didn't look like every other magazine, yet still had core of decent reporting. I know, I know. Reporting? In a lifestyle magazine?

But here's the thing: When Martha Stewart Living starts running articles on making POM POM ANIMALS, you know it's time to move onto a new publication.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I thought it felt Stepfordwives-ish. Also, like they just discovered Emigre type for the first time and barfed it all over the magazine. It took itself too seriously.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> @rodethetrolleywithstanwyck: @perfectionista: The Southern Progress publications all rock the house. If there was one magazine I would not want to live without, it's Southern Living. Recipes, travel, garden, decor. Perfect. I have never subscribed to the theory that fashion and the domestic arts should share the same magazine. Also, the test kitchen is freaking nirvana.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> @perfectionista: Lucky duck! I've been passing off a great recipe from one of Cottage Living's summer issues as my own for a while now. It's an edamame and green pea with mint salad.

I grew up in the Philadelphia region, but my mother absolutely loved/loves Southern Living. You guys probably eat so much better than I do...our test recipes are like brownie-stuffed cheesecake ice cream bombs. No thanks.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> @shansypants: i agree wholeheartedly. two of my favorite magazines were canned this year. what the hell.

you can't get all angry at magazines like this & still worship martha stewart as a WASP-with-a-rap-sheet diety. its the same shit. sometimes, jezzies, can't you turn down the sarcasm? you liked JANE, but they would always put the same marc by marc jacobs crap in their spreads, that no writer could ever afford.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I'm actually pretty bummed. My mom gave me gift subscriptions to all these "nesting" magazines when I just moved, but so much of the stuff is a) super expensive, and b) so high-brow that I can't be bothered to even read them. Blueprint had a good balance of fashion, DIY, and home tips - and it was packaged in a way that I actually would consider being seen holding a MSLO publication in public. Especially sad to hear that the staffers got screwed...scrooges!

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> That pink tree was totes on an episode of "Ugly Betty" from two weeks ago, and they called it the "pepto-tree" as well.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> @rodethetrolleywithstanwyck: That's because Cooking Light and Cottage Living are published in the offices of Southern Living! They have test kitchens for all the recipes, and photograph them in mini sun studios off the hallways--the photographed food is always fresh! It's always nice to try the mags' recipes in the caf, too.

perfectionista

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I actually subscribed too not too long ago. It was like a better snarkier version of RS (which made me feel inadequate and lazy). Pisses me off. Martha never even gave it a chance -- if I end up with MS Weddings instead it might be over between me and Martha. Sure it was overdesigned and the staff was font happy but it did have some gems but it was just starting to find its voice. Boogers.

Lindsiford!

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Blueprint was so over designed; there were about 20 different fonts in play in one teensy-tiny FOB piece. Everything cost 80 billion dollars, and was usually super impractical. And their masthead was about 8,000 people long!!!

Didn't the first editor jump ship before issue one even hit newsstands? To be replaced by the Real Simple special pubs editor? I never warmed to her, she reminded me of those anthropology major girls in college: gross generalization, I know.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> NOOOOOOOO! I refuse to accept this. Part of its charm was it's mishmash of content. I was just talking to someone about how disappointed in Domino I was and how Blueprint was a far superior magazine.

corruptsuperspy

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> you know, I really liked blueprint, it had nice design, interesting ideas (like the one on how to make your own coffee table for cheap in the summer issue) and what I liked to think of as attainable luxuries. YES, 1000 for a coat is out of my range, but a girl likes to dream, you know? It's a "maybe someday" price. I hate LouLou, Lucky and the like...if I wanted to see clothes from my local mall, I'd go to the local mall. The recipes were interesting and so were the decor stories. I'm sad to see it go.

mediamavenj

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I bought this issue because i coveted the dress on the front cover. That said, I found it a much better version of Real Simple than RS itself - at least for a 20-something living in New York. I'm sad it's gone since I'd basically decided to subscribe...

BaconBits

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I believe I read in the "we're folding" memo Gawker posted that MSLO thought Blueprint fell under the aegis of Martha Stewart Weddings. I say "feh" to that. I didn't need a man to covet a fluffy pink Christmas tree or a $1,500 coat for which I'm too fat.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Blueprint seemed like the new millenium version of those films in which Doris Day was an interior designer, wore matching coats hats dresses gloves, spike heels and drove a two-seater convertible, then changed into strapless evening gowns at the drop of a hat. Totally nonsensical and yet, if you squinted real hard, you might get an idea from it.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> aww, i loved blueprint too. it was kinda the martha stewart-ness for the lazy generation. why diy when you can buy something that looks like you did it! they really did have some good ideas though - maybe this was a really really bad month, with the pink tree and all. oh well. blueprint, i will forever hold your memory dear.....

It made me so happy to be called a haricot-vert as a term of endearment, thanks, sister!

So I popped over to Blueprint's site- their blog, Bluelines, which is great, is continuing!! So at least we have that.

madamequeen will not let you sleep on the couch

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Awwwwwwww, and I had just discovered the joy of taking on one project from the magazine every month and real personizing it. Aww, Blueprint. I loved (and loved making fun of) you.

howdybeep (runs with monkey wrenches)

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Dammit--I just PAID for my new subscription and haven't even gotten one issue yet! NOOOOOOOOO! Now they're gonna try to shove Everyday Food (I'm no ED girl but seriously, their "regular" recipes are not healthy enough for "Every Day" and their "healthy" recipes are pabulum) down my throat instead. And I will miss Blueprint. It was fun and not in interior design lalala land when it came to pricepoint or fugliness (I'm looking at YOU, Domino.) Time to go pout with red wine.

Yes_Tim_Gunn

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> For design, I actually really like House Beautiful (ducks). I am not one to pretend that I am still some struggling bohemian despite my West Village townhouse, so Domino does not appeal to me. HB has actual color advice; it is not just "Let's peer into this socialite's over-designed apartment that she paid someone else to do but takes all the credit for it." Okay, HB has those articles too. There is a grey smugness to Domino, at least HB admits to it.
Not a fan of MS. I subscribed to MSL years ago but I could never lived up to that. Shudder.

LimoScene

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I used to work at a craft store, and they had all the Martha Stewart magazines. Blueprint always struck me as a plot to breed baby Marthas. It would lure them in with cute clothes and easy decorating tips, and next thing they know they're making their own candles and buying expensive-ass paper trimmers.

ListedMIA

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I quite liked Blueprint. It had some good, do-it-yourself ideas that were unusual and fun, even if the Christmas issue was a bit twee.

Domino is the one I can't stand. Too obsessed with socialites and celebrities and how they live, and that's just plain out of my league!

langtry

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Oh how sad!!! I'm a designer and crafty and all that, and this magazine was just so well layed out and clean, and the content was just FUN. I'm going to miss you, blueprint. I'll light a candle in your honor tonight.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Bleh. Blueprint always looked to me like Readymade, except for people who want to buy cute design-y crafts instead of making them.

mymanicpixiedreamcatsnores

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I only ever saw one edition of Blueprint (free, at work). I still have it, as I'm doing my year-end project of cleaning up all the magazines I've saved through the year, and so I can give you an exact quote to illustrate what bothered me so much about it. From the editor's letter on page 2 of the May/June '07 edition: "When I describe Blueprint to airplane seatmates . . . or cocktail-party chatter-uppers, or anyone else who claims to have never seen our magazine and thinks it's an architectural periodical (where have they been?), I say . . . [blah blah blah]." I thought, wow, way to alienate a new reader for implying that they are an idiot to have never heard of your magazine or are for some unfathomable reason lying about not having seen it. Yuck. I found the magazine to be really twee, and was not surprised when I saw that it was a Martha Stewart creation. I did turn down 4 or 5 pages that had things I wanted to follow up on, but as I look at them now, they're all just references to store websites -- nothing worth keeping as far as the actual content of the magazine. Not my style at all! (But then, I never really liked Jane, either. I guess I wasn't the target demographic or something, because I found it unbearable, even for browsing through while waiting at the doctor's office!)

Jabes

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I suppose that means I can cross a subscription renewal off of my xmas list... At least I won't be getting unwanted issues of glamour in its place.

Erinjb

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Lucky is crappy and ugly and ghetto compared to Blueprint. Domino is sort of the same way, much better ideas, but the design is sort of ill-conceived and sort of icky.

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I work at MSL, they laid off with zero notice a SHIT TON of people, 1 person I know, Kerri Mertaugh, who did outstanding design and production for BOTH magazines had been there for NINE years!!! 10 weeks severence pay, no christmas bonus, and uninvited to the company christmans party tonight, the day after the lay offs. A CEO bigwig called us all into a meeting room to let us know about it, and when asked if it would effect us at Martha Stewart Living, he wouldnt give us a straight answer and acted very weird suddenly, so now everyone is tripping over their own dicks to be the first rat off that sinking ship. They underpay everyone except a few inept lackeys who only have jobs because they know martha. 1 girl, Isabel, an associate art director, makes about half as much as someone with the same exp working at say, Conde Nast. The whole place is fucked. STAY AWAY!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

Rachelattack

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Aww, no. I would take Blueprint over Domino any day. I loved the font and that their prices were ever slightly more realistic. Also, something about the writing in the entire Lucky clan is just...grating.

K2

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Really? I was primed to really love Blueprint, but I found it so hollow beneath the gorgeous design. I felt like all I was reading was veiled advertising. I guess I was expecting more like a cross between MSKids and MSLiving, not Lucky.

HelloNos

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> First Jane dies as soon as I subscribe, then my beloved Budget Living disappears without a trace, then the fun women's version of Vitals (they interviewed Amy Sedaris!) tanked after, what, two whole issues? - and now the fun-to-browse Blueprint is down the tubes as well?

And Allure sucks now that the heydey of the supermodel and the free makeup samples is gone.

Snakeophelia

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> @madamequeen: December Cooking Light DOES have some awesome recipes, you are not alone mon petit haricot-vert.

Cottage Living isn't so bad. It's a similar clean-lined (but still homey with a slight retro twist) aesthetic sensibility, and the recipes are pretty good, too.

RodetheTrolleywithStanwyck

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I loved Blueprint. It's like RS, except RS was too real and simple for me. I like a little more fantasy in my magazines ($1,500 coats). And I think an xmas tree is the perfect place for really silly hot pink shiny things, because I will inevitably get sick of the fluffy kitsch, but by then it is time to get rid of the tree anyway.

Fatwetdog

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Random magazine recommendation: the December Cooking Light! My mom picked it up and it has like a million great sounding recipes. Ok, I'm off to pour some out for Blueprint...

madamequeen will not let you sleep on the couch

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> Sad. I liked Blueprint better than domino, definitely. There was cheap stuff, and good ideas! And it wasn't so intimidatingly designer- ish.

And sometimes the writers would get all Sassy first- person.

Real Simple makes me feel somehow guilty that I am not zen enough.

madamequeen will not let you sleep on the couch

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I'm sad and surprised to see Blueprint go. I work in magazines and saw it as a place I'd like to work eventually. It was pretty well-received within the industry (at least by most editors) and being that it was a MSLO publication, one would think that it had solid financial backing. They didn't even give it a chance to do well...when did it launch, like 18 months ago? Nov/Dec issue aside, they had some really cute DIY/crafty ideas that were right on target to the 20/30-something reader. Kind of the way Budget Living did (but these are a little more Martha-fied, for better or worse.) Anyway, I'm just sad to see it go.

lise2177

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> It was cute and all--they were actually considering photographing my little corner of Versailles at some point.

But I have to admit, they lost me with their stories on moveable centerpieces and yes, $400 bras. Hmph.

RodetheTrolleywithStanwyck

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> WHAT THE CRAP. I subscribed to this magazine and effing loved it, especially since Domino was starting to suck. It had good music recommendations too. Dammit.

vivresavie17

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> @OnionRings: Me too! Budget Living was my favorite of all my subs (Readymade, Dwell, Domino, a brief fling with a gift subscription to Self) and when they started sending me Women's Effing Day instead, I was pissed.

TWSS

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I liked Blueprint, too. As a mixed girl, I was annoyed with how the first few issues seemed only to have a token non-white model here and there (it's marginally better now). And the early make-up stories were aimed only at the palest skin. But I think the magazine developed and it grew on me. Plus, I loved the articles on DIY organization and the spreads on people's homes.

Roundygirl

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> @shansypants: At least you got Glamour. Every failed mag subscription I have always defaults to Women's Day.

I still miss Budget Living...

OnionRings

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I actually really liked Blueprint. *sniff*

To me, it seemed slightly hipper and a little younger than Real Simple. Where Real Simple seemed practical, Blueprint was a little more aspirational ... even if I never had any plans to decorate my bedroom in a Nantucket beach theme. I'll pour a little out for you tonight, Blueprint. Give a big "what up?" to Sassy and Jane for me.

Jessi Ramsey

]]> <![CDATA[A Look Back At <i>Blueprint</i>, A Magazine That Dared To Be Pretty]]> I liked it.

It felt slightly more virtuous to be coveting pretty things as well as learning about how to make stuffing or organize my (non-existent) home office than to flip through lucky just coveting. At least three times in the last month I have picked up lucky, because I really like looking at pretty things, but forced myself to put it right back down because it will just make me feel bad about the fact that I can't have any of them.

I am a little ashamed to have used the word virtuous to describe a feeling brought on by reading a magazine.
