la belle et le desk job

"The hardest period in life is one’s 20s. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous and you’re physically in peak condition, but it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening."

Not a fan.

Ever since Harper’s Bazaar’s use of a recycled image of Jolie for their July 2009 issue, I continue to see any covers with her as the subject to be a pure marketing play — rather than any sort of artistic expression or reflection on what’s currently inspirational in fashion — and I expect much more from a publication such as Vogue.

Another study, by Nielsen, found that Kindle’s reader base is wealthier than readers of the iPad: 44% of Kindle owners make more than $80,000 a year, compared to 39% of iPad owners and 37% of iPhone owners. Kindle also skews male (52%), though not as strongly as the iPad. They also tend to have more education: 27% of Kindle owners have Master’s degrees or doctorates.
