Going, going...

Given the personnel changes in the past year or so and the appearance of more fluff on its website, Taki's Mag has been in danger of becoming irrelevant to "alternative" conservatives. Now, can we say that the alteration in its appearance is the final nail in the coffin? I don't think Taki would want to see this as his legacy, but did he not pass the website off to his daughter? Some serious articles are posted on the homepage, but it is difficult to get past the top banner and the colors of the font.




Even if those who operate the website wanted to convey the sense of an cocktail social, couldn't they have used a visual aesthetic more appealing to men? With all those male Mad Men fans, it wouldn't have been difficult to go retro in that way.
