Paperboy Magazine, delivering only good news. SOMETIMES an event takes place that is so unexpected, so transformative, so earth-shattering, that we can truly say the world has been turned Upside Down. This is one of those times, a hinge moment for humanity. That’s right: after eight issues of logo-only dust jackets, PAPERBOY has its first-ever cover star. And what a smasher she is. Photographed by Jack Davison and profiled by Alex Bilmes, Marilyn is a two-toed sloth, resident of London Zoo and, as you’ll find out in this issue, when it comes to modelling for magazines, she’s a natural. Some things change, some stay the same: our Upside Down theme has been observed with varying degrees of rigour. A few esteemed contributors, like Marilyn herself, have taken it literally. Others… not so much. In any case, we offer a feast for the senses: bad dogs and soft furnishings; bare bottoms and bum bags; anti-gravity household products; head-rush fashion; an excellent poem about a second-rate gymnast; new perspectives on yoga, football fandom, imperfection and fancying farm machinery; and a few of Manolo Blahnik’s favourite things. Read it in the bath, read it on the train, read it standing on your head. The choice, as they say, is yours. Until next time, PAPERBOY: Giving Love Instinctively.
