On January's 'Vanity Fair' Slightly Larger Than 'Harper's' and About Half the Size of December's 'GQ'
The preferred usage would be to say that the GQ target reader has always been something of a size queen.
Apart from examples like drag, and certainly in the case of size, queen is almost always used in place of enthusiast, not purveyor.

On Ugly Thing Costs 25 Bucks
I kind of like the throwback. Not that I'm nostalgic for those dark days growing up in the suburbs of LI, but I never really liked the generic "classy" plates they started doing after they ditched the ugly ones. I do wish it was more old-timey at least font-wise, I especially dislike that ugly word-art EMpire staTE on the bottom. Blech.
And? For $25 you'd think they could spring for raised lettering. Who doesn't want their plate embossed. Now that's classy. Also, if you're going to go retro, why not hit up the cool orange-on-black from the sixties: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_New_York
