VICE TURNS 15 YEARS OLD, AND PUBLISHES A LOST ISSUE OF THE MAGAZINE FROM 1994
VICE magazine, which is still not only fully independent but is also flourishing while the dinosaurs that surround us slowly suffocate in the tar pits of their financial ruin, is turning 15 this month.
As of this day in the evolution of society and culture, VICE has 30 Foreign Offices; Thai, Chinese, and Colombian bureaus in the works; 2,500 contributors worldwide, and 4 million viewers a month on VBS.TV. We also now generally manage to poop and pee without the aid of diapers, but instead in the toilet like big boys and girls. Therefore, henceforth and forthwith and so on, we are pleased to announce the publication of our 15-Year Anniversary Issue.
And what a doozy it is! While rummaging through the office basement, the Vice editorial staff stumbled on an entire previously unpublished number from 1994. Not only did this allow us to take a trip down memory lane, which is lined with poppies in bloom and bracketed by rainbow archways, but it also let us say "Fuggit" and take the month off and just put out this old behemoth.
The 1994 Issue is a 178-page treasure trove that includes everything anyone should have cared about back then. Seriously, look:
A pre-Kids photo shoot with Chloë Sevigny prancing around town in Kim Gordon and Daisy von Furth's X-Girl line
An extremely illegal interview with Kato Kaelin conducted during the murder trial of his housemate, O.J. Simpson
A chat with a couple of VICE's favourite Pavement boys
Sassy editor-in-chief Christina Kelly explaining her crusade to save teen situation-drama My So-Called Life
A defence of Tonya Harding, the mean-girl ice skater behind the clubbing of the very lame Nancy Kerrigan
A dispatch from war-torn and apartheid-free South Africa, shot by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Greg Marinovich
A photo series from new camera-wielding-kid-on-the-block Terry Richardson
An intimate Q&A with Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of Prozac Nation, a new book about the perils of the latest and greatest happy 'scrip
Profiles of two of the newest and scariest terror cells, al-Qaeda and Aum Shinrikyo
And let's just say there are about a hundred million other stories: The very best of the new date-rape drugs! The end of Riot Grrrl! The boring new gays! The internet! Breakout CK One model Jenny Shimizu! And, Jesus Christ, so much more...
