Vogue Portugal’s [IG] May 2023 issue is devoted to ‘Pleasure’ — a state of existence gone from several other Vogues, most notably Vogue France.

Models Rebeca Marcos Roca, Nico, Coumba & Alejandro Morao are styled by María Dávila in ‘Lust for Love’. Photographer Marcelina Dvorak [Marcy Dvorak] [IG] captures this sensual beauty at a taste level woefully absent in the caverns of modern media./ Hair by Natalia Ferreiros; makeup by Virginia Marqués

In AOC’s opinion, Vogue Portugal is doing consistently excellent work at keeping us engaged with their content. We try to inspire others to give them a hug, too.

In my case, pleasure could come from Lulu expanding her wings to make a solid contribution to the incredible body of Anne writing on Anne of Carversville. She has been complaining because I always send her off on dull-for-her AI projects like Neolithic-peoples’ caves in Switzerland, part of a new WSJ Magazine story.
