Cape Etc, Issue 2, 2016
A beautiful shot and cover of the greater Cape Town area (not too sure where exactly). Nature + animals + going green = great! To preview this issue of Cape Etc, or its previous (also stunning) issues, go right here.
ESPN Body Issue, August 2016
Every August, we’re treated to beautiful athletic bodies (in all shapes and sizes) on many, many ESPN covers! This year is no different, and the dedicated website is even better and hotter. The athletes who took part this year are: Nathan Adrian, Jake Arrieta, Antonio Brown, Emma Coburn, Courtney Conlogue, Elena Delle Donne, Ryan Dungey, Adeline Gray, Greg Louganis, Conor McGregor, Von Miller, Chris Mosier, Nzingha Prescod, Christen Press, April Ross, Allysa Seely, Claressa Shields, Dwayne Wade and Vince Wilfork.
If the official pictures aren’t enough for you, you may also view behind-the-scenes pictures and videos here.
Forbes (Spain), July/August 2016
A bit of a higher-grade cover to ‘get’ at first glance, but, now that I do, it’s quite brilliant! Take some time, and soon you will also think the same… If you read Spanish, or use Google Translate, find out more about this issue here.
OUT
Ah, fab!!! Actually, double-fab, because there’s double the amount of fabulousness as OUT magazine has two covers featuring Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley). They’re promoting their new movie, and I personally can’t wait to go and see it! To read the article, you absolutely have to click here.
Here’s the fab Ab Fab trailer:
TIME, 11 July 2016
It only takes one drastic change to have a massive domino-effect, and the reality is that the true effect we’ll only feel properly at a much-later stage… Perfectly illustrated. Preview this issue of TIME here.
MagLove by @MediaSlut is a regular slot featuring the best local and international magazine covers every week, recognising well thought-out, powerful and interesting (and hopefully all three-in-one) covers and celebrating the mix of pragmatism, creativity and personal taste that created each of them. The anonymous (for now) blogger behind MediaSlut knows way too much for his own good about media in South Africa, magazines in particular. His mission is to show when SA magazines fail but, most importantly, also when they succeed. If you’re looking for a library about SA magazines and news, this is your one-stop pitstop.
