Hah, it does seem to come much, much later to subscribers after it appears on newstands, doesn't it? Cosmo is the worst, for me! I usually get it 2 weeks after it appears at the store.

They've got the new cover image on Glamour too.

It irritates me to see lucky on the newsstand and me be a subscriber and not have it. GRRRR!!!

It just came out on my newsstand today. I bought it, and still looking through it, but they really need to work on their layouts. It is hard to tell the ads apart from the editorials, which I'm sure is the point, but it drives me nuts. Everything is so choppy and the styling is still that VS/Newport news 1990 look. But maybe because we are trying to relive that era right now.

Marie Claire and Glamour were out too.

I'm a subscriber to both Lucky and Glamour and believe it or not, they both came in the mail yesterday! I'm sure they meant to mail them out two weeks from now. Somebody must have screwed up.... confuse

I got my Lucky early last week - mine usually comes very early in the month. That being said, the issue is a total bore.

That layout thing you mention is a new phenomenon for Lucky. Usually the advertisers are the one to blame for looking too similar to the articles, but this time it is the other way around. I keep looking for "Advertisement" to be printed at the very top of the page. Not a smart idea for a magazine to look like a hundred-and-some pages of sneaky advertisements. They'll hear about it and change it within a few issues, I bet.
