    I've thought for a while that Cosmo seems to be mild compared to the weeklies.

    The only women's glossy I buy is Psychologies.

    I also get Psychologies and find it a very intelligent and enjoyable read. The other magazines are brought in by colleagues and I find them so irratating that I end up putting them to one side in disgust.

    I don't buy any of the celebrity/real life magazines- like this writer, the front page is enough to put you off, so I don't read the details. Yuk.
  • StirlingStirling
    I can't look at the celeb mags without bursting into laughter. Don't these women realise how ridiculous they look pouting and posing?

    i sometimes read the Chat it's fate and Take a break fate and fortune because i find the ghost stories funny and weird and they might give me ideas!

    I know someone who has written a number of items for the Chat It's Fate issue, she's very level headed but like every magazine it has a particular market and image that needs to be written for.

    there's no such thing as ghosts ...

    No...but somethings stolen my walkman lead, now I can't put science revision podacasts on my walkman to revise from, as that's the easiest, and maybe the only way I'll get my revision done. And it needs charging too, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
  • PiperPiper
    Scratch that, I found it in a hidden compartment of my laptop bag. GRRR I hate hidden compartments!

    I have an hidden compartment for my hidden compartments. The thing is, I seem to have lost it.
  • PiperPiper
    That's the thing, I looked in my laptop bag and it wasn't there, 'till I look in the net stuff. Now it's charging, so I STILL can't revise unless I put it on another MP3 player. I might have to do that, or just wait untill my walkmans charged.

    i have never really read womens mags. I have my subscription to Writing Magazine and now have a subscription to SFX magazine (but that is because I'm a geek) and occasionally buy one of the music mags, either Kerrang or Metal Hammer, but not very often. There is nothing in those mags that appeals to this woman.

    I've had to buy four magazines a week for two months for research. I cannot believe the contents.

    'Loose Women'
    'Bingo'
    'Loose Women'
    'Kate Garraway is pregnant!'
    'I married my brother's sister's cousin's auntie - but divorced her because she ate my budgie'
    'Loose Women'
    'Bingo'
    'Who's taking over from Kate Garraway?'
    '101 ways to beat the credit crunch - avoiding giving up your magazines, bingo and getting your hair done like Kate Garraway'

    I love Psychologies too. Worth buying.
