#Gardner Cowles

Staff Pick of the Week

When I first saw these magazines, I knew they were post-worthy because of their highly-stylized design and lovely covers. Upon further investigation, I discovered that they are issues of the short-lived and well-remembered Flair magazine, helmed by Fleur Cowles (pronounced “coals”).

Fleur Cowles (1908-2009) was born Florence Friedman on January 20, 1908 in New York. She later changed her first name to Fleur and her last name to Fenton. She worked as a writer and advertising executive in her earlier years, founding the Pettingell & Fenton, Inc. agency with her second husband, Atherton Pettingell, Jr. After she divorced Pettingell, she married Gardner “Mike” Cowles, changing her name to Fleur Cowles—a name which she kept professionally, despite remarrying once more. It was Mike Cowles, editor and co-founder of Look magazine and co-owner of the Cowles Media Company, who bankrolled the publication of Fleur’s vision for Flair. 

Flair ran from February of 1950 to January of 1951, and lost an estimated 2.5 million dollars (the equivalent of 24.7 million dollars in today’s money). The reason it was highly unprofitable (despite being sold at a price point set higher than other magazines) was Fleur’s dedication to producing a singular vision, what a Vanity Fair feature called “the most outrageously beautiful, visually daring, and extravagantly inventive magazine ever conceived.” The magazine was expensive to make, with different textured stock, die-cut punch-outs, and issues like the May 1950 Rose issue, which was opulently scented. It’s truly a work of art, and the issues also include many famous names, like W. H. Auden, Simone de Beauvoir, Winston Churchill, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí, and Tennessee Williams. I wish I could show more of the interiors, but the magazines’ bindings are quite fragile and could not be scanned aside from the covers. 

Although Flair was relatively short-lived, it was Fleur’s favorite project. She even said, “People ask me, If you could read your obit, what would it say? My answer is that I would like it to be about Flair.” Fleur was an interesting person, to say the least, and her story is well worth looking into, as there is much, much more to her than I am able to mention here (for one thing, there are roses named after both Fleur and Flair.) I recommend starting with the Vanity Fair piece, but you could also read her own anecdotal memoir, She Made Friends and Kept Them.

Above is a portrait of Fleur Cowles by René Gruau, who was a major contributor to Flair.

BEDROOM OF VIRGINIA COWLES IN NEW YORK BY HORST P. HORST FOR VOGUE, 1971.

“The bedroom of publisher Gardner Cowles and Philanthropist Jan Cowles' daughter Virginia, in their New York apartment. On a floor entirely covered in gold shag carpeting sits several pieces of modern white sculptural chairs, including a ball chair upholstered in white. The low platform bed is covered in yellow bedding and several patterned pillows and cushions. Roy Lichtenstein's print "Brushstroke" is the sole wall decoration.”

A sense of musical perspective...

Thoughts on, Batman, my 3 gig weekend and how it all got to where it is. Featuring Not Quite Fab, CiViLiZED NATiVES and Glennon and Friends...

"This should be agony. I should be a mass of aching muscle, broken, spent, unable to move. And, were I an older man, I surely would...

but I'm a man of thirty - of twenty again. The rain on my chest is a baptism - I'm born again …"

Frank Miller - Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Apart from the bit about the rain, I have finally achieved a childhood dream.

I'm Batman.

In Frank Miller's graphic novel, The Dark Knight Returns, a fifty-something year old Batman feels the need to return and fight crime again because Gotham City has gone to Hell.

While I don't fight crime, obviously, every time I step foot on stage, I become the man he feels himself to be in that moment.

As we all know, music transcends time and age and gives youth and life back to us.

What other art form can pull you back to yourself back then, in a split second?

Making music is even more like that.

With Not Quite Fab on Friday, I got to remember being 12 and hearing The Beatles for the first time. It takes me right back to those moments of possibilty when I imagined that I would be able to get onstage and rock out as hard as they did.

As a bonus, I'm actually in The Beatles. Paul, George and Ringo are right next to me onstage and I somehow got lucky enough to be invited.

Harmonizing with Dicky, Number 9 and Brad puts me right back in those times, a reunion with my younger self and a reminder of the possibilities that abound in guys just getting it done.

CiViLiZED NATiVES on Saturday pulled me right back into that moment in '94 when things got even clearer and I took the lessons learned from the magical music that captivated me and decided to write some of my own.

Keyboardist Jeff Gardner comes from those first days of triumphs and heartaches and I'm up there with my soul mate Therese at every performance. Our Angelina is now in the group as well as Jack our newest convert. It's rounded out by Justin and Kevin and amazing rhythm section.

How does one see every stage of life on display right in front of them? Get together with a group that goes from 18-57 year olds committed to the same thing you are.

Plus, Isabella my littlest is beginning to make her own mark up there with us.

She's 12. Coincidence?

With Glennon and Friends on Sunday, I got to jam with my son Jacob, Mike "9" Antoine AND his brother Tony, Jack once again and a man who truly knows what it is to have musical dreams, Scott Calvert.

I sang and played myself right into the wall of fatigue and enjoyed every blessed minute.

I will eat today, I might move a little bit slower but it is nothing compared to the joy that I will keep with me for a lifetime.

I challenged myself, my friends and my family this weekend and came away from it all as a better man.

I may not put on the cowl and tights and fight crime but I do put on those round glasses and fight my age.

It's a worthwhile endeavor every time.

Peace, Love and Blessings, Glennon

Your Prehistoric Mind

Why are you so frightened of one-in-a-million occasions like shark attacks, infant abductions or loss of life in a aircraft crash? Why are you so inclined to consider difficult situations approximately feasible destiny climatic occasions from the identical folks who can`t even as it should be expect tomorrow's weather?

Have you ever stopped to realise that so most of the close to hysterical "Pop" fears you too have been as soon as alarmed with the aid of using--fears like BSE, acid rain, risky silicon breast implants, avenue rage, SARS or avian flu--miraculously disappeared at one factor most effective to get replaced with the aid of using others that have now or will quickly disappear withinside the identical mysterious manner? Why are you so afraid? In a nutshell, it is due to your caveman mind.

Consider this: Psychological checking out has validated which you have a mind that by some means believes a chunk of fudge fashioned like canine poo truly is canine poo. You have a mind as a way to use the primary to be had variety recommended to it to make an estimate approximately some thing that has in reality not anything to do with that variety. You have a mind that concludes that difficult predictions approximately the destiny are much more likely to return back actual than easy ones.

You have a mind that concludes that the matters simpler to do not forget are much more likely to occur again. And, maximum importantly, you've got got a mind this is continuously being subjected to the machinations of self-fascinated events and worry traders who've a vested hobby in maintaining you afraid.

As Daniel Gardner explains in his ee-e book The Science of Fear, in terms of evolutionary psychology, try and photograph the improvement of the human mind with the aid of using equating the beyond 2,000,000 years of human improvement to a 201 web page ee-e book. Two hundred pages could cowl the whole time our species spent being nomadic hunter-gatherers withinside the Old Stone Age. The final web page could cowl our time in agrarian society, a duration which started out a trifling 12,000 years ago (the primary agreement most effective seemed approximately 4,six hundred years ago). The final paragraphs of that very last web page could cowl the final centuries of the sector we now stay in. We are cavemen.

Now take a go searching you. How should a cave woman, at a decrease however but decisive degree of her mind, now no longer be anxious with the aid of using the whole thing she sees on this odd and complicated international of ours? Her head turned into designed for wandering the savannah, now no longer for managing maximum of what bombards her right here. That is why her intestine stays the dominant decision-making pressure. And this is the pressure that skews our belief of the sector round us.

The intestine reacts instinctively and lightening rapid and residing withinside the lightning-rapid time we do, the pinnacle simply can not preserve up, or it can not get through. That is the purpose why we now stay in a state of worriers, in a society passionate about chance. It does not count that our head is attempting to inform us we stay in a miles more secure and more healthy time than preceding generations ever enjoyed, our intestine blocks this out and most effective fixates on what it sees to be the opposite at the night news. It lies in wait in tense anticipation for the following worry to hang to, actual or imaginary. Needless to say, Gut by no means has to anticipate very long.

There are many complicated mental mechanisms in play all through this ongoing struggle among Gut and Head. Three that may be singled out right here are: The availability heuristic. If examples of some thing may be without problems recalled, Gut tells us that it should be common. If there may be a brutal homicide in City X, Gut convinces you which you too are at excessive chance due to the fact you may without problems do not forget this. After all, you "saw" it on TV. It makes no distinction that Head is attempting to inform you the way tiny the chances are of you being in danger. And reminiscence is biased; the greater recent, emotional, and shiny occasions are, the much more likely they may be to be remembered and therefore, in keeping with Gut, much more likely to occur.

Confirmation bias. Once a worry is in place, we display screen what we see and pay attention in a biased manner that guarantees our fears are "validated" justified. Gut does not need to be careworn with the aid of using affordable arguments or reassuring facts to the opposite. Gut is terrible with numbers. It likes a very good story.

Group polarization. When folks who proportion fears get collectively in groups, they turn out to be greater satisfied that their fears are proper and that they turn out to be even greater severe of their views. Once a worry is going mainstream, so-to-speak, the distortion approximately what ought to be scary and what should not be will become insurmountable. We are social animals and what others assume subjects to us. That's why we do not want motives for believing in dangers and problems that "every person knows" are actual. We do not need them.

I am sick of DC killing off their heroes

I'm also sick of them keeping the same heroes and having them in like stasis age. It's annoying, especially as new characters are created.

You know what I want instead?

Let them retire.

Let Bruce hang up his cowl and hand the mantle to Cassandra, and maybe Terry later. His boys are already taking after him in other ways; Dick's become a wealthy philanthropist, Jason's probably gonna be the one to adopt 50 kids just by who he is as a person (Tyler, Bao, my personal headcanon for Shoes/Lian), and Tim is the world's greatest detective. Damian is...Damian. But he's finding his way. Let Bruce's children take an aspect of his and surpass him in it. Let him grow old with Selina!!! Also GIVE THEM HELENA!!!!

Speaking of Selina, let one of the Strays or eventually Helena take up her mantle. Maybe Lian can take her mantle, considering Emiko is Red Arrow and Roy is active...sorta. Just more cool cat ladies who aren't freakin Jade Nguyen please (no offense to any fans I just don't like her).

Let Clark be a guide and a guardian for Kon and Jon but sit back and be a person with a family unless there's a crisis. Let him just be a dorky reporter/farmboy with a loving wife looking after his aging parent(s? Is his dad alive? Continuity is weird) and being with his son and actually treating his other son like a son. Because Kon deserves it.

Let Diana stay in Themyscira or make a home on Earth. Or both! Let Donna take up the Wonder Woman mantle! Heck, let there be more than one! Nubia is a cool WW. And imagine Artemis! Maybe Cassie one day!

Fucking retire Hal Jordan. There are like 10 other earthbound Green Lanterns. John Stewart and Guy Gardner and even Kyle Rayner have had a shine in the limelight (heh limelight). Let people like Jessica Cruz and Jo Mullein and Keli Quintela get a little spotlight!

Let Arthur be a fucking king-dad. Let him just live a happy, mostly peaceful life with Mera. Let him have weird father-son bonding with Garth and Jackson. Let him raise Andy! Let him have Jr.!

Ollie will be a stubborn bitch until he fuckin dies, but put him on grandpa duty once this whole "Shoes has amnesia" thing is sorted out! He loved that when Lian was little and it was so fuckin cute. Imagine him teaching her how to shoot and she continually one-ups him because she's definitely Jade and Roy's kid, well-trained by Selina, and constantly reminds Ollie he's getting old. Once Connor's shit gets sorted, let him take up the mantle of Green Arrow again! Heck, he could do it just to prove he's better than Ollie and it'd be great.

Let. Dinah. Have. A. CHILD. She is such a good mom to Roy and to Connor even when she and Ollie are at odds, let her have her own child, even just by weird science! Give her a kiddo that can scream just like her, BAM new Canary. Bonus points if it's a boy or otherwise generally masculine kid and they still wear the fishnets as an adult. Power move.

Can Barry Allen have a break? Please? Heck, give Wally a break too, just for a bit! They've been through so much, let them chill with their wives (and maybe a boyfriend in Wally's case, I see those Nightwing crossovers) and kids and have normal-ish lives. There's so many cool speedsters! Don and Dawn Allen! Bart Allen! Wallace West! Jai and Irey West! Our enby Jesse Chambers! And that's not even all of them, there are so many fuckin speedsters.

I admittedly know next to nothing about J'onn J'onzz, but like, he's been through some shit too. M'gann can take over she seems pretty badass.

Like, just let the old heroes grow old. They don't even have to die, they can be weird wizened mentors with a running gag of 'how the fuck are you still alive?' and they just yknow, stick around. Like Alfred. (Fuck you he'll be back)

The new blood can shine without obliterating what came before.

Gunshots

The sound of Doomsday’s fist smashing against Superman’s face is not the sound of flesh on flesh. Or even bone on bone. It is the sound of a gunshot. Cordite erupting, exploding, a blinding flash of light. Once, twice. Even through the speakers of the Batwing, Bruce can hear it—he knows that sound. The sound of death.

He swings low over the ruined streets of Metropolis, straggler glass shards still raining off his canopy, and engages the jump jets about two blocks away from the crater. He slams the side of his fist down on the eject button, heedless of the way is makes his broken bones scream, leaping out of the plane and rolling, stiffly, onto the pile of concrete and asphalt that used to be Gardner Avenue.

Cordite bangs. Once, twice.

Doomsday’s body is lifeless, twisted, steaming—Clark’s final blows must have been fast enough to cook his flesh. Clark is lying in the crater as well. Lois—Lois is holding him. Sobbing. Covered in blood. It’s red, but it’s not human red—there’s too much orange in it. Alien blood. Doomsday’s blood?

He looks at the monster and revises his opinion. Doomsday’s blood is green.

Clark’s then.

His jaw barely twitches as the sound comes again. Two gunshots. Lois doesn’t even react, doesn’t move—Olsen doesn’t either. His camera is trained on Superman, on Doomsday. Bruce looks around, but he can’t place where it’s coming from.

Diana stumbles about three blocks away, dragging one broken leg, and she meets his eyes and grimaces. Usually she’s all smiles, warmth and light, but right now—right now she’s exhausted. Barely holding on.

He looks back down at Lois, at Clark, relieved that it’s over. They beat him. They beat Doomsday. They saved Metropolis, maybe even the world.

The sound comes again, and he realizes that something’s wrong. Clark isn’t getting up.

Two shots. Smith & Wesson Model 39. He knows that sound. Nobody else is reacting to it. Nobody else is hearing it.

The heartbeat monitor in his cowl shows three in his range of vision. Two human-normal. Lois and Jimmy. One abnormal. Diana. Her physiology is strange. Nothing from Clark.

Nothing from Clark.

Two shots.

Two gunshots.

He hears Tim in his ear, speaking to him, talking to him, growing increasingly more desperate, but Bruce has no idea what Robin is saying.

Get up, Clark. Get up.

Clark isn’t getting up.

Clark isn’t getting up.

Father isn’t getting up. Mother isn’t getting up.

Dad. Mom. No—

Two shots, two fists moving faster than a bullet could ever reach. Bodies broken.

Diana’s voice in his ear.

Batman’s hand goes slack as a numb buzzing begins to travel up his legs, sinking into his chest. Clark isn’t getting up.

Clark isn’t getting up.

birthday fic for @natasharxmanov !! love u jordan i hope you have a great day

Mentally, Bruce is strangling Guy Gardner until he turns a lovely shade of purple. He's not sure if the murderous intent shows on his face, but Clark keeps casting him worried looks from his seat next to him at the table, so he's starting to suspect that it might.

It's been...a long day. A long week, actually. A long month? Either way, Bruce feels like shit, and he thinks some of his ribs might be cracked from a particularly hard hit from today's wannabe supervillain. Bruce was too slow, as usual. Too slow to protect himself, and too slow to save that little girl, the one who-

He might just be too slow for the job in general, actually. Getting scarred and old and clumsy. Unable to do what needs to be done. It's not a comforting thought. In fact, it scares the shit out of him, and he can't stop the tight feeling growing in his throat, cutting off his air.

In the background, Guy keeps going on about whatever the fuck he thinks was so impressive that he did, bragging and jeering, and Bruce sits there for a few moments longer before he stands without a word, and walks out of the room.

There's an achingly silent heartbeat, and then Clark follows him. He's not sure if he's grateful for it, or if he's terrified of what happens next.

Walking through the halls of the Watchtower, Bruce pretends that he doesn't hear Clark's footsteps right behind him, moving slowly, methodically, almost robotic. To anyone else, it wouldn't look like anything was wrong, just Batman off to find another case, but Clark knows him too well for that. It's not exactly - He's not used to the feeling, to someone who isn't Alfred knowing him so well. Even most of his kids can't figure out what he's feeling a lot of the time, though he figures that that's really more his fault than theirs.

"Bruce."

Clark corners him when he finally comes to a stop in an out of the way room, one where it's unlikely any of the other Leaguers will find them. His eyes are wide and worried, emotions clear on his face like they almost always are, and Bruce thinks he's beginning to envy that openness.

Clark reaches out very gently, like he's befriending a skittish animal, and cautiously starts to take off Bruce's cowl.

Bruce lets him.

He doesn't crumble, exactly, when the mask lifts, but some of his guard drops, becomes a little less Batman and a little more Bruce. Clark watches him carefully, taking in the bags beneath his eyes, the lines of worry creasing his forehead.

"How long has it been since you slept?"

"Awhile," Bruce admits, lowering his head, finally letting the bone deep tiredness sink in. "It's been awhile."

Clark cups his face, touch so light that Bruce almost forgets the immense strength that lies within him. "Talk to me, love," he says softly. "What's going on?"

Bruce hesitates, then lets himself lean into Clark's hand. He's still learning to trust in this, to trust in love, but - he's trying. He's trying. And tonight, that's enough.

(He's so used to it not being enough. With Clark, it's easier. He can love with trembling fingers, and Clark will never doubt him for it.)

"There was - a girl." He feels like the words are being dragged out of him, tearing at his throat as they go. "A child. Today. I couldn't save her. I was too slow."

"Bruce, you-"

"If you say I can't save everyone, I will walk out of that door right now, Kent."

Clark lets out a huff that might be a laugh or might be an exasperated sigh, and he presses a kiss to Bruce's forehead. "It's true, though," he says, pressing on before Bruce can start to protest. "You can't. But you saved a lot of people today, and that matters. The loss doesn't make the victory unimportant."

Bruce goes quiet, and Clark pulls him into his arms, rubbing his back as he sinks into the hug, resting his head on Clark's shoulder. "There'll always be people we can't save," he continues. "The only thing we can do is keep fighting, grieve the ones we lose, and work together to make sure that there are as few of them as possible. It's not your fault. It's never your fault. You did everything you could."

"It's not enough. I'm not enough. I will never be enough."

"You're everything," Clark says, so firm and assured that Bruce finds it hard to stop himself from believing him. "You're everything to the people you saved."

Bruce takes a deep breath, slightly shaky. "Alright."

"Alright?"

"I will be."

Clark hums, holding him a little bit closer, a little bit tighter. He's steady and strong and Bruce knows, with absolute certainty, for the first time in God knows how many years, that if he drowns right here, right now, someone will be there to save him. Clark will be there to save him.

Something in his chest feels warm, and he hopes Clark won't go, won't leave him. Bruce thinks he might, now that he's seen him like this, cracking under the weight of the world.

"Tell me about her," Clark says instead. "The kid. Tell me about her."

Bruce does.

He does, and Clark isn't going anywhere.

I have skipped a lot of video games, and a number of Elseworld comics and I have not included for instance every Teen Titans/Titans title Dick has ever been in.

1940. Dick Grayson / Robin debuts in Detective Comics # 38. (April issue, but it was released earlier. I have seen both March 5 and 6 named as release date and I’ve also read that this is an approximation. Evidently, the delivery date varied greatly back in the days.)

Your Prehistoric Mind

Why are you so terrified of one-in-a-million activities like shark attacks, toddler abductions or demise in a aircraft crash? Why are you so inclined to accept as true with difficult situations approximately feasible destiny climatic activities from the identical folks who can`t even correctly expect tomorrow's weather?

Have you ever stopped to understand that so a number of the close to hysterical "Pop" fears you too had been as soon as alarmed with the aid of using--fears like BSE, acid rain, risky silicon breast implants, street rage, SARS or avian flu--miraculously disappeared at one factor most effective to get replaced with the aid of using others that have now or will quickly disappear withinside the identical mysterious manner? Why are you so afraid? In a nutshell, it is due to your caveman mind.

Consider this: Psychological trying out has confirmed which you have a mind that come what may believes a bit of fudge fashioned like canine poo without a doubt is canine poo. You have a mind to be able to use the primary to be had variety counseled to it to make an estimate approximately some thing that has virtually not anything to do with that variety. You have a mind that concludes that difficult predictions approximately the destiny are much more likely to return back real than easy ones.

You have a mind that concludes that the matters less difficult to recollect are much more likely to show up again. And, maximum importantly, you've got got a mind this is continuously being subjected to the machinations of self-fascinated events and worry traders who've a vested hobby in retaining you afraid.

As Daniel Gardner explains in his ee-e book The Science of Fear, in relation to evolutionary psychology, try and photograph the improvement of the human mind with the aid of using equating the beyond 2,000,000 years of human improvement to a 201 web page ee-e book. Two hundred pages might cowl the complete time our species spent being nomadic hunter-gatherers withinside the Old Stone Age. The remaining web page might cowl our time in agrarian society, a length which started out an insignificant 12,000 years ago (the primary agreement most effective seemed approximately 4,six hundred years ago). The remaining paragraphs of that very last web page might cowl the remaining centuries of the arena we now stay in. We are cavemen.

Now take a go searching you. How ought to a cave woman, at a decrease however but decisive stage of her mind, now no longer be nervous with the aid of using the entirety she sees on this odd and complicated global of ours? Her head changed into designed for wandering the savannah, now no longer for managing maximum of what bombards her right here.

That is why her intestine stays the dominant decision-making pressure. And this is the pressure that skews our notion of the arena round us. The intestine reacts instinctively and lightening speedy and dwelling withinside the lightning-speedy time we do, the top simply can not preserve up, or it can not get through.

That is the motive why we now stay in a kingdom of worriers, in a society obsessed on danger. It would not be counted that our head is attempting to inform us we stay in a far more secure and more healthy time than preceding generations ever enjoyed, our intestine blocks this out and most effective fixates on what it sees to be the opposite at the nighttime news. It lies in wait in worrying anticipation for the following worry to dangle to, actual or imaginary. Needless to say, Gut in no way has to look ahead to very long.

There are many complicated mental mechanisms in play in the course of this ongoing war among Gut and Head. Three that may be singled out right here are: The availability heuristic. If examples of some thing may be without problems recalled, Gut tells us that it ought to be common. If there may be a brutal homicide in City X, Gut convinces you which you too are at excessive danger due to the fact you may without problems recollect this. After all, you "saw" it on TV. It makes no distinction that Head is attempting to inform you ways tiny the percentages are of you being in danger.

And reminiscence is biased; the greater recent, emotional, and brilliant activities are, the much more likely they're to be remembered and therefore, in step with Gut, much more likely to show up.
