The magazine has gone down hill big time imo. Maybe it's the maxim influence or something but it's hardly worth buying anymore.
Now I was never a regular subscriber, and maybe the few issues I had picked up in the past were unusually good, but to me there's way too little in it pertaining to clothes and fashion these days (maybe a few pages in a couple hundred?). It's filled with tons of other junk that's not even worth reading. It would be really nice if magazines could resist the temptation to show graphic photos of people sticking things through their mouths and *************s and focus on the things that sold them in the first place.
But I guess it's hard to do that when showing pictures of people with bloody stumps, almost naked chicks, and neat ways to open beer cans have been proven to sell so many copies.
Robb Report is so much better these days although it's a bit unrealistic for me. While I like reading about $250,000 grand complication Patek Phillipe's, it's unlikely that i'll be able to afford one within the next 10 years. Ditto for the $4000 a bottle cognac, the Gulfstream 5, and the $500,000 Ferrari Enzo (or FX).
Anyway, is anyone aware of something in between? There's gotta be a magazine with a little class left in it that covers the finer things in life without going to Robb Report extremes. I think the format of Robb Report is ideal and I'll continue to read it, but it would be nice if there were something that covered the same range of things in a lower price range (although I know it's unimaginable to drink cognac unless it's been aged for 40 to 50 years ;p)
