Esquire did not publish "Dubious Achievement Awards" for 2001 or 2002, but resumed them with the 2003 awards, published in the February 2004 issue.

The spine of each of these issues reads "1 of only 100,000". The screen - which is layered under a printed transparency containing, among other things, the picture of Nixon laughing - reads "THE 21ST CENTURY BEGINS NOW ?".

Esquire on the Web

The Daily Endorsement Blog

In January 2009
Esquire launched a new blog—the Daily Endorsement Blog. Each morning the editors of the magazine recommend one thing for readers’ immediate enjoyment: “not a political candidate or position or party, but a breakthrough idea or product or Web site.” The concept for this blog probably emerged from the November 2008 “Endorsement Issue,” in which, after 75 years, Esquire publicly endorsed a presidential candidate for the first time.

Sexiest Woman Alive

The annual feature
Sexiest Woman Alive designation by the magazine is billed as a benchmark of female attractiveness.

Originally, it was a part of the "Women We Love" issue that was release in November. To build interest, the magazine would do a tease, releasing images of the woman's body parts in the issues preceding the November issue.
