******* Ed's going outside for lunch today. Because really, how many more pretty days do we have left before it gets cold? ******* ******* News ******* 1. Boston Globe Vanity fare 9/26/06 By David Mehegan http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2006/09/26/vanity_fare/?page= full Harvard isn't just a university. To the founders of a new bimonthly magazine, Harvard is a sensibility, a state of mind, a kind of tribe. They hope it also turns out to be a national brand to build a business around. This is not the tweedy, ivy-covered image of Harvard. The cover of the first issue of 02138, mailed free of charge this week to 50,000 alumni, shows actress Rashida Jones, dressed in a smirk, suit-jacket, and apparently little else, with the headline ``She's Harvard. So are you. Discuss." Besides the brief profile of Jones, daughter of arranger Quincy Jones, there's a gossipy section called ``Vanitas," described by the magazine's marketing literature as ``a Page Six for the Harvard set." It shows a young man gnawing playfully on the shoulder of a comely woman in a New York restaurant. Apparently, though it's not spelled out, they're both Harvard alums. Another feature, ``Passions," reports on sportswriter Bruce Schoenfeld's refined taste in Italian wines. It's a bright and sprightly way to imagine the world of Harvard graduates. Whether it will work as a magazine remains to be seen. MORE ONLINE 2. WWD Memo Pad: Nothing Like A Harvard Man ... Stage Fright ... Sexy Moves (Items 1 and 3) 9/26/06 By Stephanie D. Smith and Irin Carmon http://wwd.com/issue/article/109325 NOTHING LIKE A HARVARD MAN: As many glossies increasingly skew toward an elite as their ticket to financial survival, the new magazine 02138 does selectivity one better: The title limits its readers to those who can recognize that it's named after the zip code home to Harvard. Though its press materials insist it is "NOT an alumni magazine," and the launch party tonight is at the Core Club, not at the purportedly stodgy Harvard Club, the magazine is for and about the "320,000 people who can list Harvard on their r?sum?s." SEXY MOVES: Taking a career lead from legendary GQ editor Art Cooper, Mark Healy, articles editor for GQ for the past three years, has jumped to Penthouse as its new editor in chief. Healy, who takes his post Oct. 30, becomes Penthouse's first editor in chief since the company restructured under new ownership. Healy joins president and publisher Diane Silberstein, who joined Penthouse Media Group in January from sexy competitor Playboy. Healy, 38, also has been a senior editor at GQ, senior editor at Details and associate editor at Rolling Stone. Said Jim Nelson, GQ's editor in chief, in an e-mail to staffers: "I gotta say, Art ... is smiling today." MORE ONLINE 3.
