Jane calls the pose "Downward Facing Slutdog"
Last time we visited with the Kafka-reading Jane, the stats said she wasn't really reading her namesake magazine much anymore. She's got no time! What with all the teeth-whitening, memorizing Zoolander, yoga classes, perfecting her bikini keg stand, and the subsequent bitchin' hangovers. Seriously, look into those eyes. J-Love's a Zombie these days.

Is that a current ad? Looks like some crappy airline ad from the back of People magazine circa 1976.
I have ZERO understanding of the whole woman's magazine genre, so forgive me asking this obvious question.
Is Jane aiming to be an FHM "lassie" mag? The cover's font looks pretty familiar. If they are, why put women on the cover? Ever see a guy on the cover of FHM?
She's taken sushi classes.
She knows how not to smell like day-old sushi.
She looks like she's been chewing on an ink pen. Get the girl some lip balm.
Meet Jane.
Meet Dick.
See Jane Meet Dick.
oh, forget it...
She knows Excel macros.
She can do the humpty-dump.
six anon postings. you have a good readership CR.
and for once, we're missing the "i'd fuck her/him" anon. this comment page isn't complete yet.
archeress: Should I stop? Don't want to be a complete annoyance to my fellow readers.
I admit that I read the mag when I got a free subscription but under Holly- it really has gone to shit. The company got rid of Jane P. for understanding who her readers were and not caving in to celebs that became celebs because their best acting performance was in a sex tape or they're truely "desperate" as their show implies. Or they are getting sudden fame because they've become anorexic or imaging themselves after a blonde diva who makes the f*cking weirdest facial expressions when they sing. Yes, I mean the whole Paris-Eva-Nicole- Ashley thing! Give me a real mag for young women who live a little bit of sass! Any one know of any. I find myself getting more into British mags. Until I then, I think I'll stick to my Nylon, Zink, The Fader, Flaunt and Blackbook.
Anon, I think that Jane is striving to reinvent itself as kind of mag in the vein of Details (which features aspirational men on its covers). Furthermore, women (supposedly) won't buy mag's with dude's on the cover. Men like to look at women and it turns out women like to look at women too (even straight ones). I guess I buck convention, however, because I, a chick, totally bought the August issue of Details solely because Wentworth Miller was on the cover. Meow.
is that Lindsey Lohan?
can't they just pull the plug on jane and let us fondly remember her as sassy's big sister instead of seeing her become the old broad at the bar?
ps - details and gq are for gay men. and esquire's 60-40.
