I’m buying less magazines, I have yet to find one that totally entices me. Actually, I read the first edition of “Average” magazine a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed that – it was quirky and interesting and I had no idea what was coming next. I think that there are a lot of online magazines that I would really enjoy, but I’d rather have them in print so that I can read them while I’m travelling and write in them and bend the corners of pages. Maybe one day in life I’ll find time and energy to read online magazines, but that’s not today unfortunately…

hi janine, interesting topic. i suppose the covers would influence me, but really i like to read about sports. so i buy certain magazines that talk about sports. also i am careful about what i bring in the house, because my children also love to read. i won’t have something here i wouldn’t find appropriate for them, too. happy weekend!

In reply to orples. Oh, my heart goes out to that little boy too! How mortifying!

I feel sorry for the 4 year old child that is yet to be weaned. I suspect he is going to be in for some emotional problems when he gets older, if he’s not suffering a few already. Give it a couple of years, when some of his future classmates recognize him, the kid is going to get crucified in school. I hope the money was worth it when all is said and done to flaunt such odd and ridiculous child rearing. As for Nicole, she does look good with her child, but like you said, Janine … we’d all look like a million dollars if we were catered to, and had makeup artists on call. I suspect a nanny here or there helps too. I wonder how Nicole would fare in the real world of motherhood without any help?

Like one of my shallow reasons for picking up a book, the mag cover does sway me. I’d choose Nicole, not because I like her so much as it just appeals to me more, if I were to choose between those two mags, which I wouldn’t. The boobs ( excuse the expression) could be in that little boys face all he wants. I don’t want them in mine when I’m standing in line waiting to spend my hard earned cash. Just sayin’

I don’t know if the cover sways my decision to purchase, but it does influence whether I pick up a magazine and have a look. I feel like we’re overrun with paper and I don’t bring magazines home unless I really love what’s inside.
