Phillip Picardi

With bae Dr Darrien Sutton

Bae

First, OUT is a godawful, insidious rag. Second, this is not a very well-veiled way of throwing yet another insta-ho thread in our faces.

Just saying.

Hopefully he will fire everyone there and shift the focus back to gays and lesbians and not trans 24/7.

Sounds like a step down.

Isn't he the one who made Teen Vogue into T Vogue?

Ugh if he is then of COURSE he's moving to Out, it's Trans central now.

Ummm... he moved to the new queer magazine "Them" not "Out"

Oh. Them. That's right. It was, like, the T version of Vogue, right?

Them?

R6 I think it was more because of Elaine Welteroth

The magazine is insufferable

fashion, lifestyle, entertainment. jesus fuck, just fold already.

and didn't we used to hate being reduced to a "lifestyle"?

Actually, it's OK. It just takes itself too seriously. Not much humor or joy in it's articles

From Teen Vogue to Out: definitely downwardly mobile.

Why did he leave?

[quote]Phillip Picardi, the chief content officer of Condé Nast’s Teen Vogue, who was a rising star at the magazine publisher, is leaving the company.

[quote]Mr. Picardi will be the editor in chief of Out, a magazine that focuses on LGBTQ fashion, lifestyle and entertainment.

Sounds like a huge step down. Wonder if he got canned from Conde Nast of if he's just dumb enough to think being editor-in-chief of a bad magazine is a better career move.

Personally, I would have been willing to wait a couple more years to get the top spot at a prestige Conde Nast title than slumming at a rag like Out.

R17 the post is wrong. He did not join out. He started a new lgbtq magazine called "them". It's been in existence for over 6 months.

Them?

Yeah Them!?

Yep. Weird name

He's the one who left to start Them? Ugh. What's the deal OP? That's worth an F&F.

He looks like an alien in OP’s picture.

He is the digital director of Teen Vogue and Allure, and also started up the LBGT site Them at Condé Nast (the latter is pretty bad). He is leaving to go to Out.

He is leaving Conde Nast (where he was Anna Wintour's protege and started Them) to edit Out.

Them is a massive failure — a traffic, buzz and revenue black hole — and he fell out of Anna's favor. It was too SJW trans-y and downscale.

Look for him to kill off Out for good.

R25 wow. He's leaving Them already? I know that progressives have been attacking Out magazine for not being inclusive enough. I guess that might be why they're making this change?

[quote]progressives have been attacking Out magazine for not being inclusive enough.

It's too inclusive.

After the Milo feature and Chadwick Moore being a general dick they have been attacked a lot

[quote] It (Them) was too SJW trans-y and downscale.

Thank you, r25, that's a better description than I could have come up with. What's the old joke, "The food isn't very good, and such small portions!"? That's Them. The content isn't very good, and there's not much of it. What is there is poorly written and edited.

Still, going to Out doesn't seem an auspicious career move...

Nice

Wow. He's part forest creature.

[quote]A profile in the Sunday @nytimes today is...a major dream come true.

Is he quoting Lincoln or Mandela?

The New York Times in March: "Anna Wintour Thinks Phillip Picardi Is The Future of Conde Nast"

Five months later, he bails for a dwindling print magazine.

I didnt think OUT could get any worse, but here we are. Picardi spends more paper inches on trans/queer issues than gay ones. THEM is a cesspit of horseshit.

Isn't he the one who commissioned that infamous Teen Vogue's Guide to Anal Sex article in which females were referred to as "non-prostate owners"?

Yes, R35.

And there was originally no mention of condoms.

This kid is cute but it's obvious he's got a peanut for a brain.

Proper link. Yes, he got engaged to @DoctorDarienMD.
