Ah brain ... I used to have one ...

I need a tiny favour from those of you who still have access to your brains.

Could anyone who reads magazines and has a functioning visual memory please take a look at the cover of The Quibbler Luna is holding at this link here and tell me what famous and *obvious* real magazine cover the art direction mimics? It is driving me crazy!

In pleasant news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to
[personal profile] allifer and [profile] aqua_chuu ! Not just dead sexy, you two are great parts of the alpha section of my flist, and I hope that your birthdays are similarly A-grade and full of A-list gifts! Though not aardvarks, that would be weird ...

Yes I see the magazine and I can't quite place it either, but I keep thinking of the old fashioned Post magazine. The one that used to have all the dirty comics and the Ettamogah pub comic. Been to that pub actually....very strange...

The immediate thought was: Entertainment Weekly (Sort of looks like the cover from the old Prisoner of Azkaban issue). But hey, maybe it's Psychology Today.

Well, it makes me think of The National Enquirer, which is the prototypical 'Aliens Ate my Bat-Baby After Dragging Me to Hell' tabloid. But it's also American, so probably not.

My first thought was TIME Magazine... Something about the layout.

It looks very much like our local "What's on in the Hills" magazine. I suspect that's not what you're after, though. *g*

The mag looks a bit New Scientist to me: something that's purportedly all 'fact' rather than gossip, anyway.

(and I just accidentally posted that comment on the thread that the pic came from - that will be a bit random in someone's inbox!)

It kind of reminded me of the New Yorker...

Are you thinking of the 'Fortean Times?' It certainly fits the bill, as its a UK publication and it deals with the strange and paranormal.

Reminds me of the old LIFE magazine.....or possibly the LOOK magazine. Gah! I just aged myself.

My first thought was Discover.

Ít looks very New Scientist to me as well..... I hope after sharing the çrazy with us all, you will put us all out of our misery when you finally figure it out:)
