On a scale of 1 to Amy Poehler, this throwback mag is a one million. The deeply arched brows, the narrow nose, the close-lipped smile. The cocktail.

We were digging through our collection of ridiculously cool vintage magazines when we stumbled upon this pre-Amy Amy. Then we died. I mean, is Amy Poehler actually a vampire, capable of eternal life and sparkling in the sun? Is Cosmo a magazine that not only covers pop culture, but predicts it some 80 years in the future? Is it just a coincidence that we discovered this prophetic March issue in the month of freaking March? NO SIR.

To paraphrase a line from Amy's seminal classic Mean Girls, this isn't a regular mag, it's a cool mag. It's rockin' one leg. It's going to hell, but for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff.

Update: Watch Amy Poehler recreate this cover on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:
