A Magazine Covering a Wide Range

I didn't purchase this magazine becuase I had wanted to, I was in my dorm and someone asked me to help them with their trip to Cancun. I had never really heard of it and it was pretty cheap for a years subscription. After more then two years I have become a regular subscriber. I enjoy reading all the articles. I love reading about what fashions are in and the various knockoffs you can get off of the original. At the same time there are great articles on the various lifestyles of all women. Even though I am in college I feel that there is a place for me in this magazine as much as for people that are well into the older ages.

I can't say that Marie Claire is like any other magazine. It is a great blend of fashion, stories that reach women, advertisements and a sense that is a forum for all women. Most magazines geared towards women are skewed to just interesting stories about family or exotic fashion. marie Claire is a well rounded magazine for the woman that wants to be knowledgeable about all types of things going on in her world.

My favorite article was one that focused on Sara Jessica Parker in Sex and the City. In this article they talked to her about men and how to get them. Instead of just asking her they had her take a few women out and show them how they can land a guy. If any of you saw the third to the last Sex and the City you have an idea of what I am talking about (there is a scene where she takes what is left of her class and has them learn by doing to get a guy). It was great to see that this show months later incorporated this into their story line. This is my favorite article because not only did we hear from her but we heard the backgrounds of "real women" and how they felt after being with her for a night.

If you like Marie Claire you will always have a subscription to it because I literally can not put it down. It is also a magazine that I rarely skip over pages. I do not think that there is any other magazine like Marie Claire out there. If you want something that has a lot of quizzes and takes a lot of focus on the issues of men and women and the performance with them, read Cosmo. It is one of my favorites.
