We give lady mags a lot of crap for saying the same thing over and over over again again etc. ad infinity whatevs. So imagine how refreshing to see a marked change on the March Glamour cover! Last month, you see, they promised to show you ways to do your hair in three (3!!) minutes. This month they're like, actually scratch that, it's gonna take ten. Is this a step backwards because more time spent on appearance = less "empowerment"? Or is it a sign of progress, because they're no longer seeking to give readers unattainable goals they will never achieve? Women's magazines can never win! (Much like the women who read them!!) Yeah, it's hard to prey on insecurities and act all "affirming" at the same time. Still, there's no excuse for running a whole spread on fashion advice from Donatella Versace, or the uuuuuuuugly white wide-leg pants on page 321. Or some of these misleading cover lines! After the jump, Cheryl and Maria re-write the Naomi Watts Glamour cover to tell the TRUTH about what's inside.
