Oh my, oh my! The worst news ever!! EVERYONE’S fave lifestyle magazine has officially closed its doors. Friday will be its last day of operation and then all those cute magazine girls will be sent packing. This is totally mind blowing! I can’t believe out of all the magazines to close, this one has been chosen. SO SAD! I hate recessions. We’ve always loved Domino and we’ll always hold it near and dear to our hearts. I’m so sorry! We miss you & love you Domino!
Oh nose! And I just renewed my subscription!
comment by Ann — January 28, 2009How horrible! I just got the Domino book on decorating, which came with a card for a free subscription. I totally filled it out last night and was all set to send it in this morning! It must be super hard for the mag industry right now, with everyone peeping the internet.
One of my fave mags, Missbehave, just announced that they’re going 100% digital…which i guess is better than not existing at all. I would def. miss them, too.
comment by Michelle — January 28, 2009I am so sad. I love Domino. I love it so much that I gave up all my other mags and just subscribed to them. The tough times are hurting us all.
Thank goodness for my Google Reader loaded with all the blogs I love.
comment by JaimeisCrafty — January 28, 2009I’m really sad and shocked about this. stupid economy. My and my mom noticed that the magazines are getting less pages.

comment by cver — January 28, 2009Dude. Conde Nast has cut SO many employees in the past couple of months. SO glad I’m not a journalism major anymore!
comment by Little J [Jewlie] — January 28, 2009This is so lame! What am I supposed to read now?
comment by Elizabeth — January 28, 2009Jane…gone.
Missbehave…online.
Domino…gone.
Blueprint…gone
If they take away Glamour, Bust, Real Simple, NY Mag, or People; I give up on life.
This economy/this turn to everything online is not my favorite thing for sure.
frankly, i’m shocked. so speechless i don’t even know what to say. one of my fave mags… it will be greatly missed. RIP Domz
comment by Chris — January 28, 2009Aw, man. This sucks.
xoxo, Bee
comment by Bee — January 28, 2009I’m with you, Chris. I don’t have the words. And Elizabeth, I agree about Blueprint. Doomino was my replacement for that, and it grew on me more and more with each issue, especially the annual ‘green’ issue. I even loved reading the blogs, and I understand that they’re about to be gone, too. Sad day.
comment by Tommy — January 28, 2009They would have kept my dollars if they had kept the focus on creativity and not shifted to ridiculously high budget crap a couple years ago.
comment by Kirstin — January 28, 2009awww this is sad. i loved martha stewart’s blueprint magazine, and it barely got through 2 years before it got shuttered. i had to buy the issues i didn’t have yet off ebay! i think domino rocked and i would’ve kept buying it. it’s sad it closed! also, jane is now closed? that’s terrible too! i’m holding on tight to my entertainment weekly!!!!!!!!! there’s been rumors of them going online only!!!!!! no!!!!!!!!!
comment by Anna! — January 30, 2009I am so bummed about losing Domino. I had been a subscriber since the first issue and had just renewed. Guess I’ll go re-read that last issue while sobbing quietly.
