Girl Crush.

In this week's Observer, zine-makers Thessaly LaForce (of The Paris Review) and Jenna Wortham (of The Times) discussed putting together Girl Crush--a publication featuring writing by and about the enviable Jennifer Egan, among others. Ms. LaForce and Ms. Wortham have revealed the Girl Crush cover, and it's hardly black-on-white Xerox. The peach-colored floral cover, with those inedible-birthday-cake-topper letters spelling "Girl Crush Zine," reflects an aesthetic fixation we might have predicted from Ms. LaForce's shopping-blogging.

"Do you like it?" the zine editors ask in revealing the cover. Do we ever!
