After yesterday’s announcement that Jane magazine was unceremoniously shutting down, we realized we were far more interested in hearing founder Jane Pratt’s reactions than those of new (and now-former) Jane EIC, Brandon Holley.

This is because (a) we’re hoping Jane somehow finds a way to tie this all back to the time she had hot, ladysex with Drew Barrymore in the early 90’s, and (b) we’re counting on Jane to muster up the appropriate level of schadenfreude.

And while we were sorely disappointed on the first count [Ed: Seriously, Jane, if this trigger flashbacks to your intermittent lesbianism, we don’t know what will] Jane totally delivered on the “inappropriate gloating” front.

Reports Gatecrasher:

Founder Jane Pratt, who was forced out two years ago, told us yesterday: “It’s an interesting and sad day. The general idea of me leaving and bringing a fresh team in was simply not executed successfully. I would have loved to have stayed on and helped select a new staff that could further the basic vision of the magazine.”

“Creating Jane was fantastic, and I had a magical team of people with me,” she told us. “We even had fun at 3 a.m. eating takeout and writing cover lines! You can see what happens when I leave.”

Translation: “Thanks for forcing me out, fuckers. Enjoy early retirement.”
