Okay, let's get some
Gigantic magazine stuff out of the way first. Things are really snowballing and we will have a lot of exciting new stuff to unveil in the near future. Since the only way to reach the damn-kids-these-days these days is newfangled social networking sites, we'd love to have you follow our
Gigantic magazine twitter and join our
Gigantic magazine MySpace or our
Gigantic facebook page.
We also completed our three part teaser series with
bits from our interviews/dialogues with Malcolm Gladwell, Joe Wenderoth, Deb Olin Unferth, Tao Lin and
Gary Shteyngart.
Gigantic fiction preview and
art previews are still up as well.

In other news, I'm really digging this blog
J. Cruel that Michelle Legro has started. Some great sartorial advice on there.
When budgets are stretched thin, we think it is especially important to pay attention to quality. Consider the longevity of the item you are purchasing, how much you really need it, how pretty it will look pinned onto your bathrobe, what you might name it (perhaps Madam Shiny), its clarity, its color, and the usefulness of any curse purported to have been attached to it. Obviously, then, diamonds are what you should be buying. Go on. Indulge. You deserve a little pick-me-up, especially one that will last forever.
Diamonds: hard, just like the times.

Finally, I liked
