Some Favorite Web Articles i wanted to share ...

Here are some articles i NEVER posted on this blog but always wanted to.  They are all from this past year and they are all fabulous in their own distinct way.  Enjoy.

http://thehairpin.com/2011/01/short-lived-70s-groupie-magazine-star-now-online/:
Star magazine was a teen magazine, but it was essentially a magazine for groupies. Published by Petersen Publishing, it lasted a mere five issues in 1973 due to an influx of complaints from the public. Those five issues are now going online with the help of one Ryan Richardson, who's uploaded digital issues here. So what was the public so upset about? Oh, how about the first feature story in the very first issue: "Your Very Own Superfox: How You'll Know It's Him."
