Magazine Editor Hot-or-Not
Longtime Cosmo editor Helen Gurley Brown heartily encourages affairs at the office. With which magazine editor would you have yours?
June 15, 2004|
Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Office, originally published in 1964, is a how-to guide for girls trying to make it to the top. The book was rereleased this week, but back then office affairs were so much a part of success, as far as HGB was concerned, that she devotes three chapters to their vicissitudes. After all, she says, romance flourishing in the workplace is only natural. "No office anywhere on earth is so puritanical, impeccable, elegant, sterile, or incorruptible as not to contain the yeast for at least one affair, probably more," Sex and the Office explains. "You can say it couldn't happen here, but just let one yeasty type into the place and first thing you know the bread starts rising!" Which got us to thinking: When that bread starts rising in today's magazine offices, which editor would you pick to further your career? Help us answer that question by playing mediabistro.com's first-ever Magazine Editor Hot-or-Not. Pick your favorite gender and preference—or, like Jann Wenner, pick several—and tell us with which editor you'd most like to get between the, um, tearsheets. Look for the results this Friday, June 18. WOMEN STRAIGHT MEN GAY MEN LEGENDS |
