I just saw the news that Teen Vogue is no longer. They're being folded into Vogue. They say that it will continue operating as its own distinct brand, but we know how these things go. I grew up truly obsessed with Teen Vogue. I know many of us did. Teen Vogue literally changed the course of my life. This was the very first issue, I believe, ever. It came with Vogue. I got it in the mail. It was a test issue. It says Vogue on the spine, year 2000. And then there were a couple of other full size of these, like, large issues. And you can see compared to the the rest of the Tier Vogue that they're much larger. Teen Vogue inspired me to start a fashion blog. I was a teen in rural Missouri. It's called Tier Fashionista. I literally studied journalism and moved to New York because of Tier Vogue. I still live in New York fifteen years later. I interned at Teen Vogue in, I think, 2008. In 2010, I moved to New York, and I worked at Teen Vogue. I worked on the web. If you read teenvogue.com between 2010 and 2016, there's a good chance you read some of my writing. Obviously, media is entertainment, lives across social media. But I just there's something about the tangible nature of these beautiful magazines. It takes me right back to 2000. 2000. This is 25 years old. I ran Instagram account called thank rank, Atusa. Atusa was, of course, rank iconic editor who worked at tier and started Cosmo Girl, a very important figure in teen magazine history. And I ran this Instagram account for a long time where I uploaded scans from magazines. So if you're feeling tier Vogue nostalgia or tier nostalgia or YM or L Girl or any of these amazing teen magazines that used to exist and no longer do, I still the Instagram account still exists. I just don't upload. But maybe I should. Maybe I should because what other record is there? RIP Tier Vogue. I loved you.
