I had not leafed through VOGUE in decades until today and now understand why it is still so popular: it never strays from fashion (as good as it can be in this era of slips as haute couture) and clothing and good photography. Guess we won't be seeing anymore of those distasteful Helmut Newton black and whites....though I did love that one a thousand years ago of Claus von Bulow with an inverted sugar bowl and antimacassar on his head.
