I said I'll flip ya, flip ya for real

Every spring the trees are full of underwear, every fall the toilets explode...and in summer Gawker starts its annual fall fashion magazine coverage, as they did yesterday with this post. It links back to August 2004 where I contributed a chart measuring magazine weight and circulation for a slew of titles. I wanted to state now, for the record, that I would never besmirch Anna Wintour's good name with any disparaging remarks, much less one involving the phrase "fucking flip" that appeared last year.

My copy was viciously altered by the real hater, Jessica Coen, who I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw a 50 lb bag of vicodin. I believe my original parting thought was: "Couldn't we just litter-bomb Iraq with the entire load and wake up in the morning to a new capitalist-loving free democracy sweeping through the Middle East?" See, I promote world peace through rigid fashion analysis while others would like to use it as a wedge to widen our differences, from petite to triple-plus.
