With its tales of minor European aristocrats with unpronounceable names, feuds at Annabel's nightclub and endless features on Sloaney ponies-turned-models, the Evening Standard's glossy ES magazine is a true oddity. Perhaps its editor, Catherine Ostler, is confused and thinks she's editing Tatler. She clearly thinks her mag is read exclusively in the hair salons of Kensington and Chelsea. The truth is the typical Evening Standard reader is an accountant sitting in a smelly train back to Penge of an evening. What they make of Lady Fenella de Horseface and Duke Heinrich von Footstump's messy divorce heaven only knows. No doubt the Standard would say the mag is "aspirational". The truth is, if you check out the display advertising it carries - Calvin Klein, Porsche, Cartier, etc - it clearly brings in wheelbarrows of cash...
