You guys remember that I got really upset when NYLON featured Avril Lavigne on their cover? Well, I’m still VERY annoyed by that but for some reason Diddy on the cover of this NYLON for Guys doesn’t bother me as much. Maybe it’s because I respect him more (even though I’m not a fan) or because it’s more of a Men’s lifestyle magazine so I can’t really go on my tirade about actual Fashion should be presented by actual models. I’m not quite sure but if that makes me hypocritical, so be it.

I subscribed my roommate to NYLON guys a while ago and despite the fact that the cover says “not for girls”, I read it anyway and always really enjoy it. It kind of reminds me of a masculine version of the older days of NYLON that I’ve been longing for. A little smaller, a little more obscure, a bit more intimate. The editorial is great and I especially dug the bit on Freddy Krueger sweaters. So…even though theres a celebrity on the cover and even though it’s not for girls, I really love it and will be looking forward to the next issue.

I just thought that to be fair, if I am willing to diss someone publicly when they do bad, then I should be equally willing to praise them when they do good.

Ironically, my roommate couldn’t care less about the magazine.
