en vogue

Some of you know how religiously I buy British Vogue every month, and how I'm still searching for those missing Jan and Feb issues from last year. A curse on you who borrow and never return my precious mags!

But recently, I've semi-decided to stop wasting $15 every month because there's absolutely nothing of value inside.

In November's issue, for instance, the most interesting thing I read -- I go through it from cover to cover and even use a bookmark -- was the contributors' page. The writers and photographers always sound so witty and with-it. Or at least they appear that way.

Mine would read something like:

"Lifelong phobia of butterflies and moths. Hoards old things, collects clutter and accumulates dustballs. Able to eat the same thing every meal for a week. Transparently bad liar. Bag lady, not shoe hag. Longs to keep a puppy called Comere. Thinks alarm clocks are the purest form of evil."

Here's my version of your bio:

"Lifelong phobia of crossing roads and going down escalators. Hoards, collects and accumulates books and magazines. Unable to even repeat ingredients for consecutive meals. Transparently bad liar. A bag lady by default (because feet too small to be a shoe slut). Content with a plant. Can't live without watches and alarm clocks."

Am counting down to release of new Jay Chou album...less than a week to go!

I encourage everyone to write their bios and post them here too, in the spirit of friendship, soul-baring, self-promotion, time-wasting, etc etc.

This is mine!

"Office social butterfly (or nuisance). Able to remember own dreams with amazing clarity. Has a tendency to jump to conclusions and explode into rants. Lives to dig in Salvation Army bins. Ultimate sexual fantasy: to comfort a crying Tony Leung Chiu Wai."
