I have an addiction to magazines. Along with my usual girly mags, I was sent a Playboy magazine by accident. I was really excited about it too. I do actually read the articles and enjoy them. I'll skip the nudey pics of what's her face from "The Hills", not because I think she's ugly, but because I think she's dumb.
Why are there not more women's magazines geared towards people like me: girls who enjoy reading articles about the so-called coming apocalypse, crude jokes, movie reviews that are not devoted to chick flicks and advice columns that are not completely focused on how to bag a man.
I want to create this new women's magazine.
Here are some features that I have included in my first issue of this imaginary magazine:
Recipe: Jeppson Malort Cocktail- Yes, a shitty schnapps can be made to taste good
Fashion: Finding Your Own Inner Style and Embracing It
Home: How to Pimp out Your Apartment on a Budget
Movie Review: Inglorious Bastards
Music Review: Insert great indie band here
Interview: The hot guy from Mashable, Pete Cashmore
Technology: How the Snow Leopard Upgrade Changed My Life
Gadgets: To Dual Screen or Not to Dual Screen, I say yes.
So, This is My Life? (Think "Texts from Last Night")
Politics: Is Obama the New Anti-Christ? One Crazy Conservative's View.
Work: How to Do What You Love and Succeed at It, Entrepreneurial Style.
I'd also add in some really great art features and amateur photographers.
Fashion would be street style only. It's not about keeping up with the Jones's, or Rachel's, or Lindsey's....
I will refrain from anything having to do with bagging a dude, because let me tell ya ladies, I've skimmed through a few men's magazines and there isn't a scent of desperation on those pages. There will be an advice column, and this is the only time females are allowed to ask questions regarding their relationships.
Wonder if anyone would buy it?
Dude. I totally would.
(ps, Rolling Stone fills a good half of that need for me, in a pinch :D)
