I've just read this thread, and totally agree. My cat kindly gets me a subscription each Christmas (don't know how, as she gets hardly any pocket money) but it would be lovely to have the expensive gear with high-street alternatives. And I'm not talking about expensive high street either! Plus, it would be lovely to have more ladies in the magazine who AREN'T top-earners, who don't run their own company or are top fashion thingies. Also, I didn't get the Marie Claire magazine with December's issue.
