all my roommates over the years can attest: once a month, i would pull my jane magazine out of the mailbox, then cackle wildly for an hour as i read every word of their clever, witty, devilish pages. well, those days of yore are long gone now that jane pratt is no longer at the helm and the conde nasties have taken over.i'm so dissappointed. what used to be such a smart and funny read is now just cosmo in jane clothing. for chrissake-- this month there was an article called something like "10 sex tips...for you!" the "10 sex tips" part was pure glamour mag. the "...for you!" add-on was the afterthought insisted upon by the new non-Jane-Pratt editor, saying, "remember, writers [i.e. ex-cosmo interns], this is jane. and at jane, we are strong women!" i can imagine all the little conde nasties scratching their heads, then turning to their macs to type out another brilliant sex tip ("wear a long skirt on a picnic. then no one will know when you're acting randy!") ugh. the old jane magazine was awesome. jane in the era of conde nast? so unpretty. so very unpretty.

the only mag i can stand anymore is real simple...oh, and Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue once a year.
everything thing else is just a beauty recycling bin.
that's because real simple has an aweomse editor.
Yeah, she's the bomb. Although I partly agree with UP in that the mag should be called Real Obvious.
:p
