Today, I am so happy, because you know what happened? I bought V55 and French Revue de Modes #13! What a surprise? If you could recall, I did declare my desire to own V55 back in October (link). I thought I missed those issues, but it turned out they just arrived late to my store. Phew… Best of all, my favorite covers were available, because V Magazine feature 14 covers this fall/winter 08/09, which are [1]:

- Malgosia Bela
- Anna Selezneva
- Daria Werbowy
- Frankie Rayder
- Abbey Lee Kershaw
- Natasha Poly
- Sunniva Stordahl
- Christy Turlington
- Agyness Deyn
- Naomi Campbell
- Lara Stone
- Anja Rubik
- Eva Herzigova
whereas French Revue de Modes #13 features 13 different covers, which include:
- Abbey Lee Kershaw
- Karlie Kloss
- Ali Stephens
- Ksenia Kahnovich
- Olga Sherer
- Regina Feoktistova
- Polina Barbasova
- Rachel Clarck
- Arlenis
- Yulia Kharlapanova, Nicole Kasper and Sarah Stephens
- Eniko Mihailik
- Coco Rocha
- Sarah Stephens
What I had not foreseen in October is that I never would have thought I would become a ‘fan’ of the Australian model Abbey Lee. As a result of this new passionate flame, a war struck instantaneously in the so-called organ within my body called “brain” when I saw the two issues of V55 - Ms. Kershaw vs. Ms. Selezneva - stacked rather scruffily on the shelf, each of them alluring me to take them home with their wildly insanely framed good looks. After a 15-mins or so struggle, during which the vendor of the ‘brain’ just stood still with one eye fixed upon the aussie rebel and the other at the russian babe, Ms. Selezneva won as originally planned, only because her face is better positioned on the cover.
After that difficult selection, I barely had any energy to move even though I had been standing still at one spot. Perhaps this is because many braincells had been working hyper-actively previously. Thank god that the choice of French was made so easy: only two copies of Ksenia were left. I just had to choose one that is in perfect condition… and well… that took another 10 minutes.
But it’s worth it, as you can see below, they are looking good at my home, no?
Mmm... made in Russia
I just want to thank the lord for answering my prayers. I will treasure them for sure. See you tomorrow soon [2]!
Yours,
-Yul X-
