where art thou editorials?

My tale begins in the magazine section of the local Save On Foods, where I stopped in on the way home from yoga class earlier tonight, on a quest to restock a dwindling reserve of tea varieties and almond milk. The thought occurred to me that if I plan on making the transition from B market (Asia) to A market (NYC) with my modeling career, I really ought to brush up on my industry knowledge (designers, models, and publishing-house going-ons, etc.). Pardon me if I'm a little late on the uptake, but


WHERE HAVE THE EDITORIALS GONE?!


I seriously considered the possibility that I might be delusional when I found the thickness of every publication I thumbed through at least halved. Quick peeks at the (best) back sections of magazines revealed that this was due not only to the reduced numbers of ad pages I've been reading reports of, but the NEAR TOTAL DISAPPEARANCE of fashion editorials

I'm crushed. heartbroken. devestated. Not that I'm likely to be the most impacted by this recent development, but...

Is the editorial model entering into an age of obsolescence?

Alas, given the general look of pallor which plagues many an 'editorial' model, it's not exactly a wholly negative prospect...

p.s. I got mail!
