Glamour Magazine

Pros: great articles
Cons: too many advertisements

I guess I can be classified as a typical woman. And under the definition for a typical woman...you would find one that reads magazines on a regular basis. The magazines can range from GLAMOUR to PLAYBOY to SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. My...

Pros: Current interest articles interspersed with fashion and beauty advice, excellent photography, varied subject matter
Cons: Overabundance of advertisements

No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you -- I am back (after a 4 month hiatus) and more fabulous than ever!

Since my birthday's in November, I treated myself to a few indulgences; a bottle of Merlot, a new lipstick, and November's...

Pros: Good photos of women. Entertaining two minute reads. Teens seem to love it!
Cons: Although Glamour does offer many opportunities to celebreties and models, it does not personify a positve role model for our women today. I know, I know... I'm taking it too serious!

I admit it, I am a sucker for free anything. I accepted an offer from Enews.com for a free ninety day trial of Glamour. "Wow," I said. A good price on a magazine I devoured when I was younger. Younger being the key word here. As a mom of two...

Pros: Colorful, helpful, great stories and tips, balances beauty/fashion with deeper issues
Cons: Only comes once a month!

I wonder. Has Glamour undergone a full-body makeover since 2000? Because I just started subscribing to the magazine in September of 2003 and I couldn't be happier with it, but my fellow reviewers don't seem to agree with me! If anyone is currently ...

Pros: Used to be great, still more political than the competition, some realistic articles
Cons: Dramatic, tragic decline in recent times, targets Ally McBeal instead of Norma Rae

Like nearly every other woman in North America, I grew up with Glamour. The 'How to do Anything Better Guide' was as much an institution as any 'Reader's Digest' column, and Glamour as a whole was universally appealing: not so girly that a...

Pros: Good for a laugh.
Cons: Didn't I read this last month?

I've always found it amusing when you see a rabid feminist rail against men's magazines as detrimental to women because they feel like they cannot live up to what men see between its pages. Most men I know (me included) spent our single days looking for...

Pros: Interesting articles, low cost
Cons: Sometimes feels like an extension of Cosmo

I have subscribed to this magazine for well over two years, and I have to admit, it is much like Cosmopolitan. Now, that is not necessarily a bad thing. For all the reasons you love Cosmo, you will love Glamour as well.
There is no redundancy in...

Pros: remarkable history of being a substantive, stylish women's mag
Cons: dumbed down in the past year; lack of focus

It's hard not to confuse recent issues of Glamour with any issue of Cosmo. The December issue, in light and dark neon pink featuring Jewel with scads of makeup and headlines ranging from "Sexual Resolution No. 1: How to Do Everything Better in Bed...

Pros: Make-up tips
Cons: too many advertisements, poorly written

I have been reading Glamour magazine for as long as I could read. Every time the new issue was released, my mother would pick it up at the grocery store. I picked up where she left off and was never caught without the most recent issue....

Pros: Nothing will ever beat "do's and don'ts"
Cons: indistinguishable from cosmo

With the recent departure of longtime Glamour editor Bonnie Fuller, this magazine has gone into "Deep Cosmo" mode. I've been a Glamour subscriber since high school (that's ten years, for those keeping count) because it was the magazine...

Pros: Variety of articles, decent content
Cons: Lacks a real Identity

I bet those of you who are avid readers of my reviews are saying to yourself, "Geez, another magazine? It's so much like the last one she wrote about!" Yes, I admit it! I'm a magazine addict! Glamour is one of my three main magazines that I...

Pros: can be mindlessly entertaining at times
Cons: tired, unoriginal

Okay, I admit it. Until recently, I practiced next to no discrimination when buying a magazine. Whenever I was at the grocery store and came up to the checkout line, I succumbed to the itch to buy a new rag. They all taunted and teased with cover lines...

Pros: Interesting article, well written
Cons: Perfumy Ads

Glamour Magazine is one my favorite monthly reads. What do I like about this magazine over others?

For one thing I like the fact that they show more than one body size and shape when they review clothes. We women are all shapes and sizes and...

Pros: geared towards 20-30 year olds that don't have a million dollars to spend on clothes
Cons: a lot of ads

I'm 23 and after reading magazines like YM and Seventeen my whole life, I was getting a little old for them. No longer were crushes and most embarrassing moments, or high school Q&A important to me anymore. I needed to find a magazine more geared to...

Pros: A relatively stable and consistent history of being one of the top womens' magazines
Cons: Recent changes view women as sex-pots, shallow and concerned w/fluff

I used to be a regular magazine junkie for Glamour magazine. It was my favourite magazine primarily for it's content, which was always relevant, interesting and well-written, and secondary for the light fare such as the fashion (loved the Do's and...
