I have very mixed feelings- I pretty much hate all these mags, but then I would hate to see people lose their jobs.

@SisterMaryMartha: Agreed. But maybe the reason these publications are doing so poorly is that even less of us than ever can afford a $700 skirt made of unborn llama skin or a $1000 pair of gilded moonboots?

At least this depression is finally encouraging our obese ladymags to shed some pounds and inches. While it may require sacrifice now, the result will be much fewer magizine medical problems down the road and a healthier, newsstand.

Having worked at three of the seven sisters magazines, and often freelancing in womens service. These are sad times in the magazine business! The really hard workers, or anyone that looks a bit over 40(moi) are the ones that are getting laid off..times like this I regret not having taken the post office test!!

Also, EBAY is going to recieve a real blow if the real fashionista/fashion beauty diva's are given less "gifts" at Christmas to resell on EBAY!!

OH man please don't take Vanity Fair! That and W are the only magazines I subscribe to and actually like to read. I could live without W but come on! I just really love the Vanity Fair for some reason.

Elle's cover price is usually lower than the others, yeah? Could that be why they are doing better? If more people are opting to buy Elle because it's cheaper than say, Vogue or W, are advertisers more inclined to give them their business?
