fuck that shit!! it sucked!!
First!
first!
I didn't think I'd ever get work help from this site, but thanks for this.. now I don't have to process the 900 orders for Jane!
Sassy.. Jane.. now what?
what?!
what do you mean? is the mag done?
ARRRRRGHHHHHH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im so happy the comments are back!
huh?
One of the worst magazines ever published. How did this not happen sooner?
WHO/What Magazine??
Ha. When that new editor came on it really went downhill.
:(
who cares
of course it's dead…once jane pratt left it was total shit… they tried to turn it into cosmo which is a fatal error… i'm sorry it lost it's original point of view with the new editor.
When will it stop printing?
FUCK! I love that magazine. Damnit
Jane Magazine???
Was there a mag called Jane???
Is this a slow celebrity newsday?
PS–Thank God for the return of the comments. I thought something was wrong with my computer!
I never even read it.
WHAT? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What? No way!?
The whole mag went downhill after Jane Pratt left. I bought a few issues after she was gone but it just wasnt the same…it lost the edgy/smarta$$/b*tchy vibe.
Bummer deal though.
The first few years it was out, it was a great read with clever well-written articles and minimal superficiality. It was really depressing when they started putting people like Paris Hilton on the cover and eventually became a less-interesting ripoff of other fashion magazines. Good riddance.
HOLLER!
Jane Magazine?
There was a Mag called Jane?
Must have been shit
I never even heard of it
NO!!!!! they should have friggin kept jane pratt on! BOOOO
Good riddance! A magazine offering sex tips to the pre-teen and teen set. Not cool. Trust me, I'm fully aware that teens are having sex, but advocating it and offering tips on how to "do it better" is just irresponsible. I ended up receiving this garbage publication in a two year long subscription package of five mags, and this is the one that immediately went into the trash the second I retrieved it from the mailbox. Ugghhh.
noooo!! I just got the current issue and their killing it?? I just ordered a sub. like 3 mos ago! This fuckin sucks!
Yeah, well, it had been going pretty steadily downhill for awhile. It used to be original and interesting, one of the few womens magazines with some depth, but then it became just another lame, gossipy, Cosmo wannabe. Stupid move.
who the hell cares?
i can barely even remember seeing a single issue anywhere.
good riddance.
long live cosmo
thank GOD! that was the worst rag ever. it talked about a whole lot of nothing. one article ran into the other and was printed in cheap stock
Jane was once a really good mag…!!!
asdjfsadfj io oij io j
jane magazine sucked as hard as jane pratt herself. brandon holley, the new editor, kicked ass at ellegirl and tried to bail out a sinking ship at Jane. A lost cause and a sad move from the start. I hope she finds a new mag to head! I've always been a fan.
I am sad-but it was a given, when Jane Pratt left…down the tubes it went…I loved it when it was a more independant alternative to cosmo, etc…lately it was way too commerical.
a little tear…
It sucked from the first issue. Shallow and content-free. Jane Pratt and her mag were always a waste of time and trees.
Wow! Bloggers rock! They're taking over the world … pretty soon we will not need any magazines (ha ha)!
Yeah… should have seen that one coming… I read an issue once and found it pretty boring. The next time I saw Jane mag. I decided to buy a second one just incase the previous issue had just been a flop. But no. The second issue I bought was even worse.
Eh, what can ya do? They shouldn't be putting anymore effort into the company. Time to move on. Good choice.
i actually liked jane. it made me feel not to old yet not too young. it was perfect. but yeah, after they got the new editor everything went downhill.
i guess its all about NYLON now.
perez, you should bring your own magazine out. i would totally read it.
Haha… maybe they'll stop sending it to me now!! I haven't paid for Jane in almost a year!!!
perez you should bring your own magazine.
title it perez
Good, I'm glad. Jane Pratt is a hideous egomaniac and that stupid magazine was the definition "snarky." It was perfect for loser outcasts who needed an old lady to tell them what was cool (basically, whatever is popular at the moment is not cool, so just go with the opposite of that). Hopefully Jane will die next.
oh well.
bring back sassy!!
NOOOOOO!!! it Cant BE!!!!
it was still around??
Good. It was a waste of paper. Even after I cancelled it, they still wasted paper trying to get me to resubscribe.
WOAHH!! bekka - that's a really good idea! Perez needs to make a magazine this second! I'd totally read it too. ♥
No way! That mag was awesome, edgy and different with some great writers! Sad!
Good riddance. That magazine was so dull.
The first few years it was out it was great because Jane Pratt made the magazine what it was, I'm surprised it's gone.
not
Noooooooooo. That sucks! Jane was my favorite magazine. It was one of the few that talked about other things other than just sex and fashion. Anyone who says that Jane sucked has obviously never actually read it or they are really dumb. =[
Sad day. i freelanced at Jane for a brief amount of time and had the pleasure of working with some of the brightest, wittiest, most down-to-earth people in publishing. its a real shame! I wish them all luck in the future…
I was a subscriber to both Sassy and Jane. Once Jane Pratt left the magazine, it went downhill FAST!! Jane magazine was the anti-traditional woman's mag but with the new editor it turned into Cosmo with a glossy cover. Even with my subscription, I have not read this mag in FOREVER! Good riddance!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
it might have been a guiltless pleasure but at least it wasn't mindless, say what you will, it was a far cry from a rag…. anyone remember the article on the japanese sex industry? fascinating, fascinating 'fluff'
Good. It sucked.
That sucks. The was really the only magazine that had substance.
NO NO NO!!! That was the ONLY magazine not completely dedicated to "how to get your man off" and other asinine articles! Not all of us like guys/give a crap. Damn it.
Awww, that sucks. I think I have their very first mag with Drew on the cover in a box somewhere.
wtf? I LOVED IT. i just renewed.
I've had such a love hate thing with this magazine, but I really enjoyed the last issue I read…could have been August?!? but anyways I love ya Perez….you rock!!! ♥
I LOOOOOOOVE Jane magazine - Cosmo is shit - it's YM with trite sex advice in it. Jane Magazine was real. I'm so sad that it's no longer with us.
I hear Details is next
Anyone mourning the loss of the mag should read "falling out of fashion." Written by someone who used to work for Jane. It is about a woman (Jill) who started the magazine "jill" and it's eventual demise. . which came almost immediately upon her being removed from the magazine. .
oh no! i knew it was downhill after they put avril on the cover.
Thank God! What a waste of ink - It lost all of its spunk when Jane Pratt left. I can't believe this hadn't happened sooner!!
It wasn't as good after Jane left. I tried, I did, but the edge was dulled.
Ah, comments! More snarky shit written by those who wish they had talent enough to be snarkier for a profit! Long live you all!
Ahh, too bad, so sad. I guess I kind of knew it was coming when they brought the new editor on board, though…she definitely made it less original and more "mainstream," aka suckier. Not that I can't have a good chuckle over a Cosmo whilst lying out by the pool…but that's not what Jane was originally created to be.
Ladies (and gentlemen, if applicable): Check out BUST. Much edgier and upfront than Jane ever was. It doesn't quite have the snarkiness and tongue-in-cheekiness of the old Jane, but it's definitely got its own brand of humor and is a great read for smart women.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS PREDICTED IN THAT BOOK "FALLING OUT OF FASHION" BY JANE'S ASSISTANT!! (THE BOOK HAS LOTS OF FUN CELEB SCOOP TOO–IT SPILLED THE BEANS ABOUT JANE'S AFFAIR WITH DREW BARRYMORE!!)
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THAT BOOK "FALLING OUT OF FASHION" BY JANE'S ASSISTANT PREDICTED!!! (IT ALSO SPILLED THE BEANS ON HER AFFAIR WITH DREW BARRYMORE)!
This is exactly what was predicted in that book "FALLING OUT OF FASHION" by Jane's Assistant!! (It also spilled the beans on Jane's affair with Drew Barrymore"!
I used to work for the publisher and associate publisher of Jane while they were still at Men's Journal. They were the snottiest, most egotistical, obnoxious pair of jerks I have ever encountered in my working life. I'm elated that they are out of work! And JANE totally went downhill after Jane Pratt left. Good riddance.
Motherfucker. I was going to knock Brandon off and steal her job… Woe is me.

BUMMER
What?!?!? They just charged me for another year's subscription last week. Guess they needed extra cash before bailing. Stupid. I want my money back.
Maybe because Jane left! I miss Sassy
It died long ago, when they let Pam Anderson write a column for it.
Well that just sucks. The funny thing is that I've saved every single edition since the first so maybe now they'll be worth some cash on eBay the way my old Sassy's were after its demise.
OH my god! This is very sad news. I will admit that Jane magazine has gone downhill since Jane left as editor in chief, but I still liked it better than any other women's magazine out there. Now I have to find a new one. Nylon, perhaps.
Sassy magazine helped me become ME when I was a teenager, then I moved on to Jane when it came out, so I am seriously sad.
that fucking sucks! I loved the music they introduced me too
I hope Jane Pratt is off smiling somewhere. I knew they could never make it without her.

what the hell i just got my subscription…..jane is the best mag ever. arghhhhh…this is BULLSHIT
I didn't like Jane…I always wondered how people could read it and enjoy it! Not sad to see it go
That was one of my fav magazines!!!!
Jane died when they changed editors. No surprise. It just became another Cosmo at that point, and nobody reads that crap.
Girls- look for Bust. Bust is like the grown up version of Sassy. Way better than Jane ever was, even though I do miss the old version of Jane.
So outing Drew Barrymore was not necessary after all. :rolleyes: Stupid jerks
Though I'm too young to have read Sassy, Jane was the first magazine I read as a teen. It did noticeably go downhill as the years went by, but I'm still a little sad to see it go, especially because I just renewed my subscription!
u suck hater, u really, really do. and your ugly.
man, lots of haters on this mag! It was an awesome mag, but I agree, when Jane herself left it went downhill. SHAME!
As a former subscriber, I totally saw this coming. Their layouts were awful, even to my untrained eyes. They even gave a monthly article to Pam Anderson. Which, I might add, was as good as was expected.
BRING BACK SASSY!
NOOOOO!!!!
This is the only magazine I buy.
It was less potent without Jane Pratt, but still…
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Jane magazine! This is a really sad day for me!
Good. Maybe now they will stop delivering me magazines. I haven't paid for it in 2 years and it won't go away. It's terrible.
Yeah, whatevs. That mag was fake anyway. They came out trying to say that they would have "real women" in their mags instead of the skinny, airbrushed chicks you see in Elle and Cosmo, but the truth is, they did the same shit. I never looked at a Jane cover and saw a real woman with a real shape. Pah-lease!
Im sad….I loved Jane! But ever since Jane left, it hasn't been the same.
NOOOO!
I love Jane! Even my husband reads it cover to cover.
Yeah it's not as good as it used to be, but still so much better than anything else out there.
waaaah
