Finally, Mag Brings Old School Porn, Hipsters Together

jaquesmag1010.jpg

Pretentious, bearded hipsters that may or may not hate Russians have finally started producing classy, retro porn. (Their all-Asian issue ships next week!) The married duo behind Jacques magazine—Jonathan and Danielle Leder—recently gave Revel a peek into their world, which currently revolves around bringing classy porn back to the masses (articles included!). Aside from the aforementioned Asian issue, they seem to be placing an emphasis on the All-American aesthetic—during the interview, they say they don't subscribe to the idea that Russian models are beautiful, and they let out a huge sigh of relief when another models tells them she's American.

Mr. Leder, who lives with his wife and son in Williamsburg, recently told the NY Times that his cultural influences are mid-period Hugh Hefner and Norman Rockwell—he also declared: “We’re trying to do something kind of wholesome, kind of family." Can we expect the L train set to be holding keys to a Jacques Club in the near future?

    You guys are all totally missing the point. A return to "classic" publishing is just what we need. But cut the porn. We need a mag that runs like old-school Esquire fiction and poetry, or Saturday Evening Post or something. Real genuine vintage aesthetic, not hipster-fake. Now that would rule.

    wow, y'all are pretty damn superficial. it's amazing how judgmental you morons are; i'd love to put your faces up on an internet post with some story about some aspect of your lives. news flash: you wouldn't withstand the same scrutiny. there would be tons of people saying nasty shit about you, too.

    you people are just looking for something to hate on, and if you can label it "hipster" then that makes it okay somehow. what bullshit. the irony is that you guys are the real pretentious snobs, looking down your noses at everything you don't agree with.

    that said, if you judge the magazine on it's content, the images, they're pretty amazing. though none of the haters particularly care about that aspect of the magazine. and to those of who think having an asian issue is racist, think about that for a minute. seriously.

    tsk tsk tsk is obviously white and obviously a hipster d-bag. You don't see why the Asian issue is insensitive? Keep your blinders on, then.

  • Cannibal

    I'm Asian and I don't find it offensive.

  • marzipan

    Right. You're an Asian woman that has no body hair and makes over the top, crude insults about womens' bodies. Troll.

  • Cannibal

    You called me a fucking asshole?

    Youre a troll too, you know.

  • Brainwash

    Asian isn't even a race.

  • shersays

    Yay, +1

    Hugh had/has FAR too much class for an all-Asian glossy re-issue of the Suicide Girls...even back during the late 50's and 70's when millions of American's were actually returning from Asia, a great many bringing their new wives/families with them.

    The only thing that could make this matter less would be to legalized i-pod porn.

    wonder who invested in this?

  • Brainwash

    Anything to get the taste of US Weekly out of my eyeballs.

  • Cannibal

    All this makes me think of is sweaty hairy hipster vaginas smelling of kombucha. In fact, just thinking about this article, this magazine, and these people makes me want to shower in bleach.

  • robingee

    "makes me want to shower in bleach"

    Who's stopping you?

  • Cannibal

    Actually showering in bleach would hurt, duh!

  • marzipan

    Cannibal,

    Are you a man that dips himself in Nair? I hope so, since you're so anti-hair. Or is it just women with hair that offends you? If you were alive before the 90s, I'm sure you will remember that women didn't get Brazilian waxes and they didn't smell. You fucking asshole.

  • Cannibal

    Why are you so mad? Is it because you have a giant, hairy, stinky clam?

  • Cannibal

    No, Im a chick with a Brazilian, thank you very much.

  • rivetingrosie

    Yeah, I guess by "old school porn" they mean "continuing to perpetuate racism / the exoticism of Asian women". Just great. This is so stupid.
