As for me, there's nothing more comforting than to read a good review from the ELLE readers. especially when they like one (or more) of my articles. here's one from the
magazines junkie for
ELLE Magazine Indonesia, June '09 edition.

(almost) perfect, he said. i'm so relieved that i know all my hard work is worth it.
and yes, i agreed with him that before our anniversary issue the ELLE layout was too safe and plain. (i even mentioned about it when i was interviewed by the editor-in-chief, Adeline. before she stared at me like i was fallen from another planet). but in fact, i was right in the first place!


YAAAY!!! did u see that? did u see that? he likes my article! hehehe.. it did take a long time to write 4 pages of Maia
Ahmad Estianty.. and the photo shoot was quite difficult because she did nag a LOT.. *sigh* but again, i know that all of that was worth the pain..
and about the-new-7-wonder "magnificent of 7"? it was my idea :) no kidding, you have to believe me. but it wasn't writer's kind of thing to write (consider my salary and ability to write bloody 8 pages plus the hi-res pics!!!) so my editor was the one who made it come true ;)
alright, here i'm gonna spoil u with the lit pic from the ELLE profile...
it was taken in the bathroom of the photographer's studio, teehee ;))

last but not least, the Maia photo shoot was wrapped in one day with Tika Putri, "Queen Bee" main cast. glad he likes it as well.

thank you so much, Elco! again, there's nothing in this world can beat my happiness when i read good reviews from the readers... wait for your letter to be published in
ELLE July (out now!!!). please kindly review it as well as you might get the Narciso Rodriguez EDT :)
