DISCUSSION
I took the September Vogue with me to the recovery room after my surgery a month ago. It was nice for my friend to have it to leaf through as she waited a couple of hours for my brain and body to start working again. It was also nice to hold on my lap while I was dozing in and out - it was just heavy enough to feel like it was weighing me down, which was comforting at the time. Surreal, but comforting.
I must admit, the cover photo looked no better when I was under the influence of serious drugs, so I have no idea what inspired the stylist.
