I've always loved Sleaze – the concept and the magazine. Whilst the independent publication was officially christened Sleazenation eight years ago, most of its readers dropped the nation bit a long time back, and now with their recent relaunch, so have they. |

A heady publishing cocktail of Private Eye, Adbusters, Cheap Date and Tokion, Sleazenation was all about eschewing the mainstream sycophancy and hype engulfing the worlds of fashion, music, art and design. Affronted by fantastical consumption, it would extol the virtues of Elizabeth Duke's instore jewellery boutique at Argos in favour of the latest Vuitton handbag. And I am pleased to say that it hasn't changed that much under its new editor, Neil Boorman, who created the ironic Hoxtonian bible, Shoreditch Twat. With many of its original staff still there (previous editor Stuart Turnbull now edits the sizeable 20 page music section), it's still got a satirical tongue in cheek and opinionated posturing, but now acknowledges its own contradictions. Sleaze aspires to luxury but can't escape the dirt; wants to believe the hype but can't. |
