Jalouse, the thinking person's Numero, has the strangest cover I've seen in years for its November issue. The model is Aiste, she is photographed in extreme close-up, and then a thick red plastic cover was added to the magazine. Even the logo can't be seen - talk about courageous marketing decisions. If you remove the red cover -- I haven't yet for my copy, buti've ruined another one at the store -- you can see a colorful studio make-up on Aiste's face.

The issue itself was quite a disappoinment to me, there is one real fashion ed (I will talk about it later) and the rest is beauty etc. ELLE France is also all about beauty products this week. I hope all these people are busy preparing a wonderful December issue.

A nice perk in Jalouse: a bookmark (a real one) by Dior, with a photo of Liberty Ross. Certainly helps you to read more.
