I knew I would forget a few magazines, here are the last three - VMAN, Esquire and Purple Fashion.

VISITING | The VMAN Assembly Line at Visionaire Gallery

Photos: William Yan

I stopped by Visionaire Gallery yesterday to pick the latest VMAN featuring Kanye West photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. I ended up getting on the assembly line myself and packed my own mag.

Thanks a lot to the coolest trio Ford Smith (Ford), Petey Wright (Ford) and Monica Pedro (Women Direct) who taught me how to assemble the latest issue.

Stuffed with a real dollar bill and wrapped in shrink wrap.

Shrink wrap gun to seal off mag.

Ready to be sold. ;) If you're in the area, stop by Visionaire Gallery on 11 Mercer Street for your copy.

VMAN 21 | Assembly Line Video of The Kanye West Photo with A Real Dollar Bill Coming Out Of His Mouth by Karl Lagerfeld

 This is genius, I'm sure it's going to be pretty epic at the V offices on Mercer St.

VMAN 21: THE THRILL OF THE GAME ISSUE hits stands on Tuesday. Featuring cover star Kanye West photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, our Spring Issue raises the stakes by paying tribute to the adrenaline that keeps us at the top of our game. From the risk-taking Kanye West to one of the world’s most daring stuntmen, to Hollywood’s next action star, some of the world’s most aggressive athletes, and a 21-year-old model plucked from the front lines of war, V MAN 21 gives us a look inside ourselves to see what we’re really made of. No guts, no glory. No risk, no reward.

On Monday and Tuesday, between the hours of 11AM and 3PM, you can stop by the Visionaire Gallery at 11 Mercer Street in New York City to pick up your copy, freshly sealed by our factory workers on the VMAN Assembly Line! From Kanye’s lips to your wallet… take the risk and reap the reward.

Those are real $1 dollar bills by the way.

My Letter to Kanye West About His Runaway (Film) Directed by Himself, Kanye West Starring Selita Ebanks

Dear Kanye,

You did your damn thing, though I might be so appalled at some of the scenes from the Runaway film, don't stop! I did love the bird-turkey-phoenix outfit Selita had on, is that the devil in a new dress? Lord, Lord, Lord, please forgive me for saying that, I love Selita and the video.

Sincerely,

William Yan

P.S. You run fast as hell Ye!
