It's rather astonishing thinking back to Men's Vogue. It was as if (even in 2007) the kind of reader they were catering to didn't really exist.

Men's Vogue is such an aughts relic. My favorite line about it was written in Gawker in 2005: "The man who has it all, but still aspires to be a knicker-wearing fop toting a big rifle and a dead quail or pheasant or whatever." https://www.gawker.com/118022/just-in-time-for-thursgay-styles-mens-vogue

I interviewed to be an assistant there a few months before it folded. I got the distinct sense I was a little too "gay" for their taste and never got past a first meeting. I wanted to be like, "my dudes, who in the world do you think picks up a magazine called....Men's VOGUE??"

I rather like my life, but I wouldn't mind coming back as Brad Pitt and enjoying his preternatural YOLO attitude, in fashion or otherwise!

I laughed out loud at your YOLO commentary. Brad should be so lucky to have you as a ghost writer. Well done.
