Citizen Media Critic: If You’re Thinking of Starting a Women’s Mag…

girly.jpgElizabeth Spiers (who waxes on how women’s magazines can improve themselves in this week’s Citizen Media Critic) and I see eye to eye when it comes to women’s magazines: “As it happens, I’m exponentially more likely to buy Esquire off the newsstand than Vogue.” (Actually, not true for me because I subscribe to Esquire and thus wouldn’t buy it off the stand but you know what I mean.)
Not that you asked, but I think the woman’s magazine that keeps its womanliness but doesn’t treat its readers like dopes is Elle, which manages to run features that aren’t repeatedly about whether you should get plastic surgery, features good interviews and book reivews and the absolutely-yes, I’m going to say it-fabulous E. Jean. Allure has got some good essays in there too.
