Well done!
I especially like the one with Jillian Holtzmann on the cover ;)
I lost it at “Girlfriend Jeans” and it only got worse (better) from there.
it always does
The Teva thing… oh man, I’m literally LOLing like an idiot in my office!
When Birkenstocks suddenly got popular earlier this year I was lost.
Wish we could read those, funny as hell!
“how much should you read into that X-Files tattoo?” i feel personally called out to by these covers
Also “process your feelings, not your food” who did this. Where’s your pulitzer.
Yep this is the best thing i’ve read all day and I’ve read Ruby Tandoh coming at Paul Hollywood on Twitter.
lol @ “spray tan dustings”
we r all 1
You know me. I just bought a pair of “girlfriend” jeans, wore them a few times, and promptly bought two more pairs. The name kills me but they make my ass look great!
Amazing. MORE MORE MORE!!!
*passive-aggressively throws hummus ingredients into a VitaMix* DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, ERIN
4 ur health
I was hoping one of the headlines on one of the magazines was going to be “DIY Non-Toxic Spider Control…..Using Kitchen Utensils and a Mason Jar, video by Dr. Erin, PhD, BioControl, and assistant”.
ohhh I’ll do a whole cover for this
I can visualize a photo of your face on the cover right now. Ball cap on backward. Your mouth scrunched into that intense game face of yours! There are some creepy ass spiders in the house that have got to GO! Your mild mannered assistant urges caution. But there is a calm confidence behind the protective goggles that cover your steely eyes, as you hold your trusty tongs and long handle spatula!
Just below your photo is your famous quote: ” Stand behind me, sister, and keep that Tupperware handy! WOMEN at work here!”
I want “process your feelings, not your food” on a T-shirt.
actually me too who will help us
I just saw Kate McKinnon and the word girlfriend and said ‘YES’ out loud.
sometimes thats really all it takes
omg but seriously my naturopath told me I can only have tofu once a week WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO.
the world is cruel. hail seitan
These are utterly brilliant
And why are so many straight women wearing Tevas? Before it was just the queers and German tourists but now…
Right?! This is happening with Chacos, too, I guess, my best friend (a straight lady in the shoe business) told me that Chacos are the hot new thing and I feel like my gaydar is broken now. I’ve had my main pair for about 14 years, before I was even out of the closet. Maybe the Chacos chose ME.
ahahaha yes! pair some chacos with a patagonia and i’ll be even more torn
I had no idea chacos/tevas were a queer lady thing. They’re definitely a raft guide thing (and more generally outdoorsy-person thing but like REALLY a raft guide thing). Like I legitimately don’t think I know a single queer lady that wears tevas or chacos but I know many a straight lady that does (bc they’re all raft guides).
Chaco used to be owned by an amazing, progressive company that actually gave a shit about their core customers (as Hollis says, they started as river rafting shoes in the late 80’s and expanded to a more outdoorsy-of-all-trades sandal company) and social justice issues — I feel like the original owners would be pretty happy about selling to queer women.
Sadly now they’re owned by a shitty corporation in a very conservative part of West Michigan so basically they’re the equivalent of the zombie AfterEllen, profiting off queer women while looking out for the straight man’s interests.
This whole conversation was really enlightening!
thank you carmen d!! but really i havent been this confused since college
I mean if it’s really a straight girl wearing Tevas she may let us know by wearing the Teva/Ugg hybrid

I legit thought these were mobility boots for a broken ankle for the longest time
what is HAPPENING
<img src="http://cdn.psfk.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/New-Footwear-teva-UGG-psfk.com_.jpg"
not my day
who did this and what do they want from us!!
I think you did the broken image posts on purpose because by the end my anticipation was SKY HIGH and I was not let down by those beauties.
@thesocietyfor ahaha no i am just a wreck who can’t close my tags this week.
I had to google what Tevas were(they are 90s nerd hiking sandals to me), but my only guess is that outdoorsiness is becoming popular as a look if not a way of life.
This popped up my search and I feel obligated to share it with you fine folks.
I want the black ones for domme purposes, but I don’t have anyone in my life at the moment who enjoys being walked on, not even a bit of high heeled trampling or crushing.
Also no cash to spare. >_>
Oh goodness, those are like the Converse wedges all over again.
Not gonna lie those socks are kind of a turn on. (By that I mean I’m so happy it’s almost woolly socks weather again soon!)
A fashion-forward friend to whom I had only kind of recently come out to one day suggested that I buy some girlfriend jeans
I was like “Jane, just because I’m queer, like, you don’t have to change what boyfriend jeans are called. I can still wear boyfriend jeans.”
She was like “no you dope that’s what they’re called it’s a style.”
The end
wait girlfriend jeans are real
yes. http://www.gap.com/products/girlfriend-cropped-jeans.jsp
looks like gap calls them “BEST girlfriend jeans” as in “no I mean my BEST GIRLFRIEND I’m not, like, gay”
i believe those are called capris!!! ahaha, ahhh the three quarter length shirt of pants. bless the work that went into “best girlfriend”.
No homo jeans?
Well, it’s kind of a sign of progress they feel like they should do that in the first place (regarding the use of the term “girlfriend”)…
is the idea like, your best friend is 5″ shorter than you but you stole her pants anyway? and it’s laundry day?
my favourite jeans are the same as my ex’s because she liked them so much she bought her own pair, does that make my jeans girlfriend jeans or only hers? pls advise, I don’t want to have to throw out my favourite jeans
Y’all I been working with InDesign too much because I tried to the select type like I was going to edit it, forgetting for half a second it was a jpeg in a web browser.
I see a layout of a print item on a computer screen and my brain immediately assumes it’s InDesign and something editable I’m supposed to edit.
This is my life now, there’s no going back.
CTRL Z does not apply.
Heyyyy fellow InDesign user! (Fellow designer?!) I go between InDesign and Autostraddle all day long so I relate to this SO well.
My first thought upon seeing this feature again was “I should offer to design the next one and make these scarily realistic” and my second thought was “no, I would take that way too seriously and it would destroy me and I would have to leave AS forever.”
also yes plz do the next design
Hey back (and yesh degree almost complete with a profesh job offer to do a logo). My lab and classroom have the “supervisor” placed at the back of the room so uh yeah no going back in forth between web surfing and InDesign. Just long hours plugging away on Adobe software coming home and my brain getting temporarily confused.
I got a question do you work in the preview mode or the regular one with all the lines? Because I notice some people can’t handle all the damn lines even at the “data input” stage.
My 3rd is basically the same as your 1st thought, but more “I don’t think they got the budget to compensate for me to destroy myself like that for parody. Meybeh submit a t-shirt design someday.”
Plz do not judge me on my typefont choices- i am a mere human working with the youdoodle app
No judgment whatsoever, these are glorious!
My issue would be that I would spend 10 hours designing just one of these because letting things go is not a strong suit and they would be no more funny for it.
Ahaha thank you, i do know a little bit what you mean bc even though i dont have design training these covers take up more time for me than I’d like to admit!!!
When I see a printed billboard or some sort of advertisement on the street and I see that the kerning is way off, I WANT TO FIX IT. #graphicdesignerproblems
Yes, 100% with you on that problem! The worst is that my brain reads stuff like that as ALL my fault if I’ve been proofing a lot of jobs at work before they go to print because it still feels like it was my job to catch it and fix that stuff. Everything is ruined, I see design issues and typos and bad Photoshop jobs everywhere and it feels like a personal failure when it’s like, a realtor billboard on the side of the highway in a strange town.
Ironically I’m sure there’s a typo somewhere in this comment that I didn’t notice.
Oh JP I been like than since I was a child, graphic design is what made realise I wasn’t out of my gourd or being too judgemental.
My mother probably had to stop me from cutting up paper ads trying to fix them and wondered what in the damn hell did those billboards, street ads ever do me from the way I glared them.
…..I was an intense child.
#graphicdesignwomb2tomb
i totally did watch Carol again. September knows me.
I have been having a lot of feelings abt Stephanie Beatriz, thank u for addressing this
wait, no one told me wearing tevas was gay!!!
NOW I KNOW WHY I LOVE MY TEVAS!
IT’S BECAUSE I’M GAY!!!!!
seriously though, my sandals have been tevas for like 5 years. and now my sneakers are too!
The “Girlfriend Jeans” bit made me inhale my coffee up my nose–so funny! Also, (in a general shout out to the universe) I’d like to see Kate McKinnon on more magazine covers, please!
