Things We Enjoyed This Week: Esquire Magazine

We’re pleased to launch a new series for MsCheevious.com, entitled Things We Enjoyed This Week. (And by ‘we” of course, “we” mean me – Editor in (Mis) Chief, and primary writer here). This little nugget will come to you as frequent as those things we enjoy are revealed to us – and equally as seldom. Let’s try not to keep track, shall we?

Things We Enjoyed This Week – The Week of August 26, 2012

September’s Esquire Magazine

Recent issue read, cover-to-cover: September 2012, Volume 153, No. 2

Why: It’s intelligent, interesting and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s also environmentally friendly (in this month’s note from David Granger, Editor in Chief, he cleverly wove his obsession with energy into an interesting and witty introduction of an article on the United States’ use of oil and the tar sands. Sounds dry, but he forayed that into a teaser-finish on a article still brewing about natural gas, and, he was able to “still be crazily entertaining.”).

One Thing We Especially Liked: Esquire Indulges, page 42

It’s a page devoted to requests by readers, and this little gem shows up in the Front of Book, which means there’s a boat load of good, meaty reading to follow.

Kudos to the magazine for recognizing that its writers and editors don’t hold an exclusive on good ideas.

Our favorite from this page? Recent Birth Announcements by A.J. Jacobs.

Jacobs brings little known current events as well as social mores or cultural quips to our attention in the form of witty birth announcements (Below are re-config’d samples – a cheap attempt at replicating what you will see in the magazine):

There’s bouncing baby boy “My Grudge” –

And little whipper snapper “Sin” –

To see what’s in the issue in a nutshell go to the Esquire Magazine website:

Stay tuned for more of the Things We Enjoyed This Week, and perhaps something entirely different.

Enjoy Every Moment my lovelies.

Ms. Cheevious

Ms. Cheevious is the alter-ego of Lisa Jey Davis (former publicist, and television talent manager, current award-winning writer & author, & health and fitness pro). Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis

  1. This week I read “I am Jennie”. I am seldom at a loss for words. Plainly, it is a book you cannot put down. I am not recuperating from a porn life nor a
    broken family (at least when I was in it) nor from alcoholism nor from drug
    abuse nor from many love breakups nor from self-loathing nor from fame. But her story and need for cure hinges in
    great part on her realization that she has avoided intimacy. Not trusting herself and not trusting others,
    she bolts and injures when the going gets too close. Tell me about it. Two intimacy free emotionally safe marriages. Viewing the world through the isolation of
    math, physics and aphorisms. Enough
    said. You know the picture. A horrible frightening
    realization. For me a tough, personal
    book.

    If you don’t have a copy, I would like to send you mine,
    postage prepaid. I trust you. J

    • Why yes it is Cinta! But (read the sarcasm here) I have been known to have way more than my share of testosterone…! LOL! But I love it just the same. The writing is exquisite, intelligent and funny! 🙂

  3. Fabulous! I love anything that is intelligent, interesting, and doesn’t take itself seriously. 🙂 The “birth announcements” are brilliant. Thanks for sharing, Ms. Cheevious.

  5. Great post! Personally, I like the “My Grudge”. If that really happened, I would find myself back at the store, buying more of the same. Weird looking, indeed. 🙂

  7. Given the fact that it took me several hours to post this comment, I’d like to announce the birth of My Perseverance. Mother and baby happily smile from behind the screen. Even after this post got erased by mistake…

  8. LOL! I love this. I saw my sister for the first time in 6 months and received her usual generous welcome: “Oh you would look so lovely if those bags under your eyes didn’t make you look so tired.” Ummm… thanks? (Grudge born once every 6 months 🙂

  10. OMG I loved the birth announcements! Classic! Thumbing through men’s magazines is WAY more interesting than anything you’ll find in Cosmo. Great post @Mscheevious:disqus
