Rickey Henderson’s Number One Fan

Several years ago, I mysteriously received a subscription to Sports Illustrated. Shortly thereafter, I received a subscription to Stuff, by Maxim, as well (my then military boyfriend, thought I was the greatest when he got three Stuffs and the Swimsuit Issue in a care package!) .

DT and I were watching the reporting about Rickey Henderson and I mentioned a sweet article I remembered. Turns out it wasn’t from the era that I had the free subscriptions but I’m glad I looked it up. It’s sweeter than ever.

In honor of Rickey Henderson’s Hall of Fame induction, is this illustration of his relationship with fans and more importantly, one special one. I wish there were more articles showing the humanity of the athletes; that is one thing sorely missing today.

Goodbye, Jane Magazine

I’m a little sad. The internet is a-buzz with rumors that Jane Magazine is folding. Conde Nast is saying it just isn’t fitting into the future plans.

I was a subscriber to Sassy, of which, Jane Pratt was the editor prior to being the namesake of Jane Mag. I was a flagship subscriber to Jane too. It was a little bit of a different magazine in that it wasn’t just a bunch of articles on “How to keep a man”. It was sometimes biting, always witty, and always full of cool things for people like me, or for the person I’d like to be. I subscribe to several magazines, Blender, Spin, Game Informer (don’t ask), among others. Now, what will be my girl-magazine? Boo.
