Brand new month, brand new magazine!!!

SEPTEMBER!

In the Northern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological autumn is 1 September. In the Southern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological spring is 1 September. We don't care much about southern spring because that is rather irrelevant to this post.

September also brings joy and misery together for fashionistas *Have always hated that term. If any of you have any recommendations for a synonym, please feel free to lemme know. But remember that I have the last word on this blog. Maybe don't even try. Just kidding*, unless grand dad left you a trust fund or daddy take cares of your credit card bills.

Joy? Let me explain. September issues are without doubt the most important published piece of the year. It marks the advent of autumn trends and preps people like us for what to look forward to in the coming season. *When I say people, I mean someone who bothers to care a little, just a little, about what hangs in their wardrobe. Not preaching or will ever preach anyone to be obsessive (Know many a people like that) about clothes; not that its a bad thing. Sometimes so wish I was like that. Sigh. I guess dear Lord hath other plans.* Trust me, it would be blasphemous to wear nautical stripes when everyone would be tarting up in animal prints. In other words, September issue is like Moses, leading the exodus of the hungry fashion conscious out of summer and across the Red sea of 'Last season's trends'. *Would this analogy get me into trouble?* Another good thing about September is that since its the fattest issue of the entire year *Thanks to 200 plus pages of adverts*, flipping through it is the best form of exercise your arms could ever ask for. Must say that fashion works in mysterious ways.

Lets get on with the misery and I'm going to make it very concise. So many things to buy and no means to buy. Sometimes I wonder if these magazines are not meant for people with limited means because you can't have all that you covet. It's more like a tease. Have you ever flipped through 'Get the same look for less?' In this case, less is certainly more. Literally. Most of us still cannot afford this watered down 'look'. But religiously, every month we go and get a copy of our favourite magazine or more. This is what I call masochism at its best. Exactly the same reason I don't step into shops with snooty sales boys and girls. What's the need? Tom Ford's window display beckons every time I pass by but I have not mustered courage to step in. Sigh!!!! I shall some day, Tom. I shall and I will get a suit from you. And I digress yet again. Hence not so concise anymore. Getting back to business of fashion, I wonder how many women look at these magazines and feel good about themselves. Send me a comment if you do. I don't. I look at men's magazines and at the end of it, I'm this close to slashing my wrists. God has been kind to us but he is just unfair. But c'est la vie.

But one has got to do what they got to do. Can't do with the magazines and can't do without them. Certainly cannot.

Below are some September issue covers from across the world *after a very strict elimination process*. Some of them are not so impressive but I still put them because I like the covers models. Enjoy.

To many more issues and heartaches!!!
