Egg July 09

I love Egg, only because it is usually the first magazine anyone into gal reads. You can definitely see how long someone has been into gal by how they feel about Egg magazine.

EGG JULY 2009 (1)

Phase 1: Obsession – Egg is the gold standard. They read scans and go for the most extreme styles. Old Egg with Ka-tan are usually the most revered.

Phase 2: Disgust – After discovering that Egg is not the only magazine out there and that most people don’t think Egg is really that great, quickly pick another magazine to love. Will complain about Egg whenever mentioned.

Phase 3: Apathy – Looks at scans of Egg when posted, either doesn’t admit it or plays it off as too cool to be held down by what everyone else likes.

I’m phase 3, I won’t lie.

But anyway.

I was talking to a coworker of mine about how I’d never wear overalls.

Trying this. Super hot.

OK, now I’m pissed. Egg photo mail isn’t full of funny pictures, but super up close pics of gals with fake glasses. THAT’S WHAT MIXI IS FOR. I want funny pics…. :(

Also, there weren’t any ads for surgery or weight loss, which makes me think that some pages are missing. Depressing.

    Yeah, the ad pages are missing in the scanned version. I bought the real one and it’s got them.

    I like egg for Kaoru, and she really wasn’t in this one, so it was disappointing. I like the fashions in Scawa or Woofin Girl a lot more.

    Most people don’t like Kaoru, so that’s really cool to hear.
