Funny, but sadly so true. Women's magazines tend to be a disgusting compendium of "information" (to be generous) and images that make you 1) believe your value lies in how you look, 2) feel guilty because you don't look like that, and "compensatory" articles to make you believe you are happy and, in case you are not, it's also your fault because you don't accept yourself as you are, or you don't meditate, or you don't have that piece of equipment.

@EvaSieteTres, that's the formula! It's funny that the glossy magazines aim at younger women but the "pulp" mags displayed on the ends of cashier stations, like "Woman's World," are aimed at middle-aged and older women.

IKR - the covers will headline stories on weight loss and the ultimate brownie recipe side by side. The model is always some airbrushed beauty that we can all 'aspire' to be. It's just mean.

and it never changes! And there are pictures of rooms and gardens that are also unattainable.

Totally. It's like watching a Nancy Meyers film. The houses are always beautiful. The women can whip up fresh chocolate croissants in the middle of the night. (Somethings Gotta Give or It's Complicated). The message is pretending to be about empowering women but I'm still waiting for my set director team.

You know what’s missing from those magazines?
Staff. If your life is beautiful like that? You probably have staff.

Staff Infection: you have hired too many people and your life is too easy so you are fit and but bored.
