Page Fetish

Rescuer of Makati pusakals slash Dutch lensman Mark Mulder messaged me straight from Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago. His earthshaking question via SMS centred on my favourite fixation: what kind of magazines do I want for him to bring back to Manila? Friends would know that the question is like asking whether I prefer crack or heroin. My thumb automatically zipped through my phone’s keyboard spelling out a hard to get title. Mr. Mulder however surprised me by adding these two titles in his pasalubong bag. I have back issues of Sleek Magazine and I welcome into my ever expanding collection of print fetish the edgy Blend\ Magazine. Thank you very much Mr. Mulder and Marvie for lugging the titles all the way from Netherlands! (See you on your housewarming!)

Excuse me while I inhale fresh ink and fondle gorgeous paper.
