Ladymags, stop regurgitating copy and do something original for women. For once. I might support you again!

"however great an issue it might be-simply isn't enough anymore." This just doesn't ring true for me. I think lots of women would be excited to buy if more creativity, cleverness, and useful information were in evidence.

This is why the articles recycle - the readers do. It should be a fairly stable endeavor. Like high school, actually.

However, I think paper glossies will become extinct when the Kindle, and other electronic reading devices, can offer good-quality color reproduction, which can't be too far away. And in that case, women's mags will survive, albeit in a different format.

But if a side effect of this is that I may see less of this junk around, then so be it. I can always learn Flash and Action Scripting.

People (myself included) have begun to expect their Web-based information to be free. And changing their minds on that may be impossible. And even if news and entertainment Web sites can begin charging, other sites will pirate the info and offer it for free, which will be hard to prove and expensive to punish.
What scares me most is the cumulative effects of a reduced fourth estate. I don't think we've fully realized how a reduced press will affect government transparency here. But I suppose in regards to lady mags, that's neither here nor there. Fewer weight loss article. *sob*

On the other hand, if I have a few extra bucks to drop on good photography and original, interesting writing... that's where my money goes.

Now I don't feel bad about drinking your vodka. And other assorted liquers and liquors.

yeah well, i wouldve absolutely been participating in V.W's sale.

@Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka:
Only problem is, all the hipsters in town got word of the sale, so now my lovely black tank bag with discreet logo has competition. This guy who gets on my bus to work must have splashed out on a similar bag but a size up. I get all embarrassed and hide my bag when he gets on. Or, maybe just maybe he bought his full price. In which case, Ha!

Anyway, discounted Marc Jacobs. I can only hope that I find something marvellous when I hit LA next week.

Getting punched...well... sucks! Sorry to hear that. I got a lot of elbows in the stomach while I tried to peer at the sodding jewellery. My problem was more with the attitude of customers there, but then I tend to get anxious around any crowd. Actually the woman who eventually served me at the jewellery was sweet, and going with a buddy made the whole thing into more of an adventure.

We had a VIP night the day before the public sale which I thought would be calmer, but ugh it was NOTHING compared to the main day.
And yeah I had a lot of strong drinks that night. To be honest by midnight I could barely remember what the black bruise on my arm was for.

One group of women stood in the corner for 2 hours, doing *nothing* just waiting to see if we would get some more felt bags out. Friday was a walk in the park compared!
