Outside Blog 5
Today I was read a magazine I really don't read magazines I'm the one who looks at them while standing in a grocery store line just looking at the pictures until its my turn to get waited on and the only reason I woudl picked it up if they have an interesting front page I like how they try to sell their magazines by putting celebs pictures on their worst days and really mean topics about them or a sexy male star that seem to always catch my attention but today I decided to actually sit down and read one a co worker gave me a Cosmo magazine to read I don't think it is a good magazine for woman exspecially for young females because I think it give bad sex advice that doesn't need to be in a public magazine the front page had a beautiful girl on it but the topics were about how to please men and all about sex I had to get another magazine to check and see if this was that type of magazine and yes there it was the same type of topics I was starting to think this is why this magazine is so popular because woman read about it to get tips but as I started to read some of the articles they had some really good fashion advice and I even tore out the page with the workout exercises on it but majority of the articles were about pleasing men I really wonder what would Cosmo be like without it. Would it be as popular as it is now.

Oh my gosh you're telling me lol I accidentally stumbled across one of the Cosmo type magazines in one of the poetry workshops today and WOW! there were very many different sections with very inappropriate and descriptive subjects/advice,etc. I think thats really sad because a 12 or 13 year old could pick that up and read it.
ReplyDeleteMy wife use to buy Cosmo from time to time and I couldnt beleive what I found in this magazine. Is there any age limit on buying this magazine? If not, there should be.
ReplyDeleteI hate the fact that Cosmo is selling the idea to women that they are responsible for their man's happiness or sexual pleasure. If I had a daughter, I would be mortified if she received any of her information about sex from these magazines.
ReplyDeleteFashion...that's a different story.
