Sebastion, I wasn't forgetting that Dazed also produce Another and Another man, I wouldn't exactly call that 'a shed load of other magazines'.
I also feel that just because they have two other publications, that is no reason to stop caring about the state of Dazed - which over the past ten years has laid the foundations for the Another publications.

In my opinion it seems to get shitter every issue. There was a time when it was interesting and actually cool.
Today it's full of fucking advertorials, shit music and mediocre fashion. The art direction is predictable and the cover stars are boring - Franz Fucking Ferdinand in 2005?????
At the end of the day, it comes down to ££££ and sales, and Dazed have chosen to sell out.
If they got rid of some of the bigger names (Cathy Edwards, Nicki Bidder, Callum McGeoch, Peter Stitson etc) and replaced them with a bunch of kids who are still have some excitement, they might bring Dazed back to life.
I really hope something happens before it does exactly what The Face did.
I hope this post is not offensive to anyone in the wider Dazed family, but I remember when I was aged 25 and Dazed was fucking rocking. I find it quite sad that I now don't even bother to flick through it, am I really the only one?

I still think that Wonderland is shit, it's not even worth discussing.

The best new fashion magazine in my opinion is Superblow. That rocks, and they actually give a shit.

i thought superblow had been axed. Did you see the ham thing, that was so funny.

er...do you write for superblow?

No - I don't write for them. I didn't hear that it was axed - I thought it just came out around every London Fashion Week. It seems that they actually care about what's happening now, in London especially.

Just checked out the cover on superblows website itt looked fun, Not seen the magazine down here in cold Plymouth yet though.

Speaking of Superblow, that WOWOW moving fashion film is cool. I'm not sure that Superblow will make it down to Plymouth in the near future, do you ever come up here Seb? We should party

i thought the 1st issue of wonderland sucked. i picked it up 3 times to flick through it but i could never get myself to buy it. maybe 2 will be better. i like the title though.

i used to be a dazed reader too, i don't know what happened but i don't buy it anymore.

I saw the 1st issue of wonderland, and thought for a premier issue without the "usual" big named contr. it was ok, I am def. gonna check out the 2nd one. I remember seeing the Dragons thing as well......

D&C well I think they try out a lot of things, some go right and some go wrong, all part of the learning process me thinks, plus we ought to be happy there are still mags that dare to try things......

I get to London tweo or three times a year, I try and get there for the Mardi Gras., Iam trying to produce a book from a large collection of pictures I have taken.
All the best Valentine and maby we can meet up when I get to the big City.
I go to Adonis art its great for a cross section of art mediums.
