Magazines

I was doing a little rearranging in the home office yesterday. To my magazines. It always takes a long time because I end up getting distracted and flipping through a ton of old issues!

switching out magazine files

so casual cool from 2009-2010!
old Pinky magazines

Pinky magazine. No longer produced. I have every issue between November 2007 - February 2010.

I started this list a couple of years ago. It was an easy way I could keep track of my “collection” plus know the real volume number (now 380+.) Then booklog.jp caught my attention. So I just use that now. Updating it today was mostly for fun. No pressure to keep adding to it ASAP. I’ll probably update it again in a year lol.

My collection dates back to around 2003 and it was easy to move at first when it only occupied a drawer or even 1 shelf. But now… It’s become clear I would be a fool to try and bring these along my next move. It was hard enough to get the 1 shelf worth moved into THIS house 3+ yrs ago. When the time comes I’ll just pick out my favorites. That would definitely include the 3 issues of CUTiE that started it all.

For now I keep them on 2 large bookcases contained within IKEA magazine files and organized by title, issue date, or both.

古着MIXガールズ Subscription

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011 | 53 Comments

Since I blogged about it some yesterday, I thought I’d share some clippings from 古着MIXガールズ (Furugi Mix Girls) Vintage Mix Girls. I contacted Fujisan.com asking if they thought they might start carrying it and a few hours later they replied saying they’ve added the subscription HERE! I was so excited! It’s an incredibly difficult magazine to get.

I already have a subscription to PopSister, Used Mix, and Sweet through Fujisan.com. Now I have 古着MIXガールズ!

It’s a bi-monthly magazine like Used Mix. It’s got a similar flavor as used mix but it tends to mix in more toward girly style while I’d say Used Mix mixes in more casual street. But that isn’t true issue to issue. Since both magazines are bi-monthly (they both used to be quarterly too) I really wanted both to sorta fill the void between issues.

Anyway some stuff I scanned in tonight from vol. 6 released this July I think *forgets now*
