Well said HollyUK, if only you were a magazine editor!
I agree about Oprah - her O magazine is also inspiring without being patronising and it tries to tackle issues of the day. It's only a shame that the fashion is not available here.
I'm sure some of theses women featured do not have such perfect lives when it comes down to it and many of them do it only with the help of an array of staff because they have a rich husband.
A business near me is constantly featured in magazines (although not this one) and the owner is held up as an example to all older women who want to start off on their own. In reality it is a small part of her husband's shop, it's hardly ever open and when it is open it is empty. There is no passing trade and it's hard to see that she ever makes a profit. She must just have contacts who help her get into magazines. Why don't W&H want to feature Lynne13t's shop or other businesses run by forumers?
Some things are not as they seem and are glossed up for the magazine so NO ONE should feel inferior.
Another thing I object to is the fashion pages that purportedly show "readers". But when you read through the text they are either something to do with magazines or PR, or are described as part time models!
