Nylon May '09 - Young Hollywood issue

I always love the "Young Hollywood" issue from any magazines; Nylon, Teen Vogue, Vanity Fair. It's usually a good buy - like an investment buy - to find out who's who and what's going to be the Next Big Thing in upcoming months.

I initially didnt plan to buy this issue of Nylon. I didn't get excited for its cover & its 45 Stars of Next Generation cover line. But when I picked up the magazines and was just planning to flick through it, I got sucked into the Almost Famous world Nylon offers.



Nylon has done a terrific job in carefully handpicking the 45 stars featured in this issue. Who doesn't love Kat Dennigs (and Olivia Thrilby)? Kat's blog is one pure source of entertainment (read it religiously) and last night, I've planned to watch her vlog to when I get the chance.
Both Olivia Thrilby and Kat Dennings will star in upcoming movie The Answer Man.

I'm not going to name everyone listed in the issue, but here are some that you might be already familiar with...




Jackson Rathbone (Twilight), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad), Dreama Walker+Amanda Setton+Nicole Fiscella+Yin Chang (Blair's sidekicks in GG), Anna Sophia Robb (Bridge to Terabithia), Isabel Lucas (Transformer 2), new Skin cast, Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionare & previously, Skin).

Speaking of new stars and upcoming big things, I'd like to have your special attention to Paper Heart. Just to start it all, Michael Cera is in it... if you were like me, this movie had already made it into the list of Favourite Movies.
Paper Heart is a documentary about love by Charlene Yi, a girl who doesn't believe in love. This movie is a docos but - not a real documentary... Charlene Yi and Michael Cera plays character, but uses their own names. Complicated much? Hope IMDB could help. :)

Here's the trailer:

In real life, Charlene Yi is a Canadian comedian and had starred in some small roles in Semi-Pro and Knocked Up.

Other stars in this fabulous Nylon issue includes:
- Taylor Momsen, looking absolutely stunning in the fashion spread. She also talked a little bit about her music band and upcoming fashion design project.
- Mathew Williamson talked about his collaboration with H&M
- The Olsen Sisters and Steve Madden on their shoe line.





One little annoying thing I spot in the mag: How come Peaches Gedolf's occupation is stated as journalist? She is not.

But yeaah. this issue get two thumbs up! Pretty much everything from page 95-147 is worth reading/looking at. Not to mention the other bits and pieces earlier in the magazines. I can guarantee you this is a much fun required readings, compare to your uni notes.



Marvin's editor letter doesn't even leave me cold, like he usually does to me.
If you are still doubting to buy/not to buy this issue, or having "I'll just wait 'til the sea-freight comes in" thought...See the light and run to nearest newsagent.

NYLON, I love you.

Glossy Bits - All Over the Place

Hello, dearest! Things have been very slowly here because uni & work (yay, I'm working now!)have taken over my time, thus I have less time to devour all glossiness.
My copy of April Teen Vogue (seen last when I took the pic last weekend) went missing somewhere... As soon as I find it, I'll start the reviews.

Glossy Bits

- Nylon goes back to 1999 with Lindsay Lohan. See more of the photos here.

- Chanel Iman hosts MTV new TV series House of Style , in partnership with Teen Vogue. The show will give insight to the latest fashion trends and tips, also some interviews with designers. Chanel's thought on switching career: "I'm thinking of slowing down on modeling and branching out to other things. I want to pursue some new and old dreams and start making them happen. House of Style is definitely just the start. I want to do television, film, music and designing. I want to do it all!"

Nylon Feb'09: Camilla Belle

The February issue of Nylon doesn’t disappoint those who picked the magazine just because Camilla Belle looks stunning on its cover. The covergirl gives us a lowdown on staying true to herself in the complicated entertainment industry. Plus, there are a number of pretty pages to adore...

Inside, Nylon gets a slight make-over as it welcomes back an old friend, Michael Pangilinan, as the Art Director.

Model Behati Prinsloo seems to be on radar these days. In Model Citizen “Sitting Pretty”, she answered the most simple questions we've been wondering about the supermodel.

Others on the spotlight includes: Jamie Bell, the Osbournes (Jack & Kelly), Franz Ferdinand, the Dragonette.

It's a short one. I'm flying back to Melbourne tomorrow!
See ya in the land of Oz! <3

Glossy Bits: Paris Hilton for Nylon

In the midst of US presidential election and financial crisis, Nylon November issue will feature Paris Hilton on its cover.

Update: Here's the final look of the cover.

New Twilight trailer is out...(in case you haven't seen it)

Nylon Cover: Looking Pretty

Sit up and get over Zac Efron being on Teen Vogue cover (sorry to mention this again & again, but I have personal issue -couldn't even face the person at the cash register when I bought it ;p). Nylon October issue is looking pretty with Zooey Deschanel on the cover. Straight after the TV issue in September, this month issue would be the It Girl issue featuring Daisy Lowe, Alexa Chung, Coco Rocha, Abigail Lorrick, Lou Doillon, Geldof sisters and Kennedy sisters.

Good start & we'll see if it lives up to the expectation.
