Los Angeles Magazine wins Ellie

The National Magazine Award for Los Angeles last night came in the personal service category. The Naked Truth About the Future of Your Face and Body, a package on plastic surgery and the industry, was edited by Nancy Miller and ran in the October 2012 issue. "This package showed how, for better or worse, the democratization of plastic surgery is truly changing how Angelenos look and live," the magazine says. A package in the November issue, The Food Lover’s Guide to L.A.: An Encyclopedia of Good Taste edited by Lesley Bargar Suter, was a finalist in the leisure interests category.

Texas Monthly, a sister publication within Emmis Communications, won the Ellies in feature writing and public interest. Here's the full list of winners.
