UNPACKING THE MALE MIND
By Jeff Bercovici

Editing a men's magazine is, one might think, a pretty good way to learn what makes men tick. But what's one to do with this valuable knowledge? More to the point, who might be willing to pay $23.95 for it? Why, women, of course. Hence "Men, Love & Sex: The Complete User's Guide for Women," by David Zinczenko, editor in chief of Men's Health. The book — which was very nearly titled "What Women Don't Know About Men, Love & Sex Could Fill a Book" — won't be out until September, but WWD got an early look.

Essentially a long research project, "Men, Love & Sex" draws most of its material from a Harris poll of more than 5,000 women and men, who respectively ask and answer questions such as, "Why won't he open up about his feelings?" and "What's up with golf?" According to the introduction, "The only way to get us to crack each other's codes is to delve deep into the psyches of both sexes — and that's exactly what this book does, for the first time ever, in a most unique and insightful way." (Not to mention modest.)

"I'm a professional student of men's hearts and minds, if you will," Zinczenko writes, by way of articulating his credentials. Although he has never been married, Zinczenko said in a phone interview that he did not consider that a handicap: "I've never had a severe concussion, a torn Achilles or avian flu either, but I'm pretty comfortable editing a mag that gives men advice on how to avoid or manage those issues." Besides, he added, his co-author, Men's Health contributor Ted Spiker, is married with kids.

Head-to-toe black robes rarely make it into the pages of women's fashion magazines. But Elle magazine is changing that with the launch of its first Middle East edition this week.

The issue, which arrives on newsstands in Lebanon, Jordan and Morocco on Friday, mixes glossy photos of stylish clothes with fashion advice for readers who wear loose-fitting abayas or chadors in public but want to look chic underneath and indoors. In one spread photographed in a Damascus souk, a model pairs a purple Etro dress with a violet head scarf; in another photo she's wearing a long black embroidered robe with Ferragamo sandals.

"We can mix the East and the West in fashion," says D?sir?e Sadek, publisher of Elle's Middle East edition, which is part of Hachette Filipacchi M?dias, a division of French media group Lagard?re SCA.
