'a fancy bouillabaisse of Vogue, Town & Country, Holiday, etc.', so quipped Time Magazine discussing the launch of Fleur Cowles' extravagant and innovative Flair magazine. It was the brainchild of Cowles, who wished to create a journal with 'flair'. One that covered the best of fashion, décor, travel, art, literature, humour and entertainment, and featured the words and images of the best twentieth century writers and artists. The first issue of the magazine appeared in 1950. It was published by Cowles' husband, Gardner Cowles, and his brother John, but the editorial control rested with Fleur. She insisted on the finest production values and each issue featured cut-outs, fold-outs, inserts, different paper stock and lots of colour. Art direction was by Louis-Marie Eude & then Hershel Bramson. Cowles persuaded writers such as W. H. Auden, Jean Cocteau, Simone de Beauvoir, Colette, Jean Genet, Gypsy Rose Lee, Eleanor Roosevelt, Angus Wilson, George Bernard Shaw, Tallulah Bankhead, Tennessee Williams, Jean Cocteau, Clare Boothe Luce, Beverley Nichols, and Elizabeth Bowen to provide text and artistic contributions came from the likes of Dali, George Hoyningen-Huene, Lucian Freud, Rene Gruau, Walker Evans, Saul Steinberg, Alexander Calder, Barbara Jones and Winston Churchill. There were issues dedicated to Paris, New York, Christmas, Colleges, and even one devoted to Roses, infused with the scent of the flower. All this cost money, circulation did not rise above 200,000 and each issue was losing Fleur and her husband funds. After the twelfth issue in January 1951 the magazine closed. The magazine was short-lived but it's reputation as one of the boldest and innovative periodicals of the twentieth-century lives on and it remains the gold standard for luxury magazine production. The fragile nature of the magazine with its various cut-outs and inserts means that complete sets are hard-to-find.

Family friendly burglary that stands the test of time
"Mom! Dad! It's evil! Don't touch it!" -Immediately proceed to touch it- I bought this movie solely because of a clip showing this scene from the movie. It makes absolutely less sense with context, and for that reason I happily award this 4k disc 5 out of 5 stars.

Great quality. Great collectable
Came undamaged great quality put it up on a shelf next to my steelbook version of season 1 glad I got it. This show is so great. Owning a great quality version of it physically I'm so happy about. I should note I don't plan on taking out of the plastic shrink wrap it comes in. These in my opinion are great collectables so not opening either season. If I want to watch Ill just watch it again on netflix.
