Alexa Chung on harper
As A child, i couldn’t
fgure out why i wasn’t blonde.
i remember my friend laura, age fve, had
this shimmering gold mane that she tossed about
with aplomb in the dinner hall and let sneak out in shock-
ing tufts from her riding helmet. i seethed with jealousy and
asked my mother why my locks were the color of earth. And so, in
this inaugural issue of harper, a magazine that celebrates youth, passion,
and dreams being fulflled, i have fnally realized a lifelong fantasy. Which
leads us to the inevitable: do blondes have more fun? Meh, maybe on
fashion shoots. As enjoyable as it was to play the part of a ’60s–’90s mod girl,
i was happy to return to my roots. Trying new things is important to me,
and what better way to kick of March than with something light. This
month heralds the start of a new season, but it’s an awkward time in terms
of clothes. All i want to do is wear a pretty dress, carry a basket, and not
have to grapple with tights in the dark as i get dressed. Alas, we must
struggle on, so i’ve assembled enough activities and eye candy to
keep you going for at least another month. This is my frst
time editing something. i hope you like it. And if you
don’t, please send all complaints to Harper’s Bazaar
to the attention of laura Brown. it’s all
her fault. Peace and love.Jump up.
