A cover of a magazine is usually what attracts me to a particular issue. When I'm in the supermarket checkout, I might buy a magazine based on who or what is on the cover. Sometimes the contents are good and sometimes they aren't. I'm usually still satisfied with my purchase if I'm a big fan of the cover. I really love seeing vintage magazine covers. They really knew how to make an amazing cover back then. They did so much well in those days. I could spend so much time checking out classic covers online. I so totally am in awe of this GQ cover. I'm a huge Sammy Davis Jr. fan. He's one of the coolest cats of all time. The image of Sammy on this cover oozes so much coolness. I wish I just had an inch of his coolness. I hope you like it too.
P.S. Check out my latest post at Celluloid Slammer. It's a clip of Sammy Davis Jr. singing Mr. Bojangles. It's a different clip than the one I posted up here in the past. Plus you gotta see what Sammy is wearing. I hope you will check out my post and leave some comments there. Thanks.

Seriously an inspiration! And vintage covers always seem to have much more cool and power to them. I suppose they didn't feel the need to cover them in all the jump out phrases and words we have on covers today. And I know what you mean, I usually buy magazines depending on their cover! Hope you're having a beautiful day :)
somethimes I do the same...and then I regret...buying something that I really don't need ^.^

Of course you have more of an inch of his coolness b/c your recognize his coolness and that's a great starting point. I have to say, that cover is just awesome.....
