Re: JUNE WOMAN AND HOME

I think where magazines are concerned, I dont really think age matters, because you can always find something that interests you. I tend to always focus on the makeup and perfume items, and then the fashion for the over 14s,(which makes me sound a tad shallow, but its my money Im spending and I know what I lik). I tend to know most of the high street shops that cater for the bigger ladies, some of them are absolutely awful, focusing on sleeveless dresses, made of a clingy material which bigger ladies do not want to wear. I read loads of magazines, its my weakness, the points I made about W@H does not always occur in other magazines, a lot of them do focus on the more average woman, the only snag is, some of the content, is uninspirational to me.

I cant bear a magazine to be classist, where you feel almost guilty for buying the magazine, because as I said previously you cant afford the clothes etc. I would like to see a magazine that has the following:

a. Intersting features directed at most women.
b. Intellectual subjects that we all care about and wish to contribute to.
c. Makeovers on REAL, AVERAGE, women, for example, bringing her to a studio where experts can see what she is wearing when she arrives, and then recommends what clothes would flatter her the most. Hair and Makeup included.
d. Cookery items included places to buy food knowing where the food is sourced. Not necessarily, in Harrods Foodhall, or Fortnum and Mason, or even Waitrose.
e. Finding ordinary women who in their field are the best there is, notice I havent mentioned "Celebrity".

Sorry girls to go on about this this will be my last thread referring to the magazine. Plasmo xx
