HOT
Lady Gaga and Small Wars Journal. Both hot. But don’t take my word for it. Rolling Stone:
Since we launched the Hot List in 1986, we’ve had our share of hits and misses (check our cover gallery to revisit all out past Hot Issues, from Angelina to Giselle to Britney). In 1988, we profiled “Hot Character Actor” Kevin Spacey, and we’re particularly proud that in 1990, we introduced readers to a 23-year-old screenwriter named Jeffrey Abrams (you might know him now as Lost and Star Trek visionary J.J. Abrams). Of course, we’ve also missed the mark — in 1990, we thought Renny Harlin’s hot streak would last, and the same issue that featured Abrams also declared Tevin Campbell “Hot Prodigy.”
This time, we’re banking on an assortment of movers, shakers and muckrakers that runs the gamut from the warfare digest “Small Wars Journal” to Hot Issue cover girl Lady Gaga (check out video from our photo session here, and shots of her wildest moments here).
Yeah, well, anyone with a Y chromosome can see the chick with the Phyllis Diller fright wig and the bubble bikini is hot.* Glad to see RS is getting hip to how hot Small Wars can be. Now breathlessly awaiting the print version with the actual RS SWJ review.
Hate to get political about it. But seeing as SWJ was the go-to place for understanding the Iraq surge … which the larger part of our media and body politic didn’t … and Rolling Stone is only just catching up two years later, forgive me for suspecting that the recent Odoption of Bush counterinsurgency chic has something to do with the new Small Wars fashion craze.
* Gaaak! Buddy emails to say that hot chick’s a dude! Quick google check says no, though there has been some catty chatter. But another pal, astute scholar of feminology Vodkapundit, notes the reassuring presence of bubble hips. There are some odd images out there but I didn’t see anything that screamed “bloke.”
