Urban Junkies London - Wednesday April 9


Wednesday, April 9 2003

	Want something sleek and foreign lying around your bedroom? Magazines are our new bibles. Just as serious foodies wouldn't dream of scoffing down store-bought cake, mere plebs may be satisfied on a diet of Vogue, Tank and Creative Review, but true style-snobs like to have something a little more exotic scattered across the flat.
		"Jerry, Jerry, Jerry". No fancy magazines as the stage is handed over to our favourite trailer trash hero: Jerry Springer - The Opera has its world premiere tonight. After a Fringe success run, Jerry becomes the first new opera ever to open at the National Theatre. 7:45pm. South Bank, SE1. £12-32. Book on 020 7452 3000 or online.

Here's a selection of little-known and cult magazines to impress the visitors with your savoir-faire. SEED - www.seedmagazine.com A slick new title with offices in Montreal and New York that attempts to pull science out of the laboratory and into design based culture. Geek-chic never had it so good. The Fader - www.thefader.com Another tongue-in-cheek music/style/culture mag, but this one is actually a) informative b) funny and c) well-written. Blank:: - www.blank.cl Latin American picture book. Cool Chilean mag with beautiful images. Definitely worthwhile, even if you can't understand the copy. Sleek Magazine - www.sleekmag.com Bring on the gloss. You really shouldn't be living without this gem - beautiful photography. Metropolis - www.metropolismag.com Art/architecture/design. Intelligent editorial and great graphics. Superman would be impressed. Scandinavian Living - www.scandinavianliving.com Oh to live like those Scandis. Evolved from the too-cool-to-be-sustainable Copenhagen Living, this slick journal-sized quarterly will hopely have a longer life span. Most magazines available at RD Franks, Kent House, Market Place, W1 EC
