Fashion Magazines

Six people discuss if they pay any attention to fashion magazines.

Eucharia, Ireland
speakerWomen's fashion's magazines: I like reading them on airplanes cause they don't really require a lot of concentration, and they're better on an airplane than a novel because I don't have the concentration when I'm flying for twelve hours to concentrate on a novel so women's fashions magazines are sort of chewing gum for the mind, excellent on a long, long flight.

Jeannie, The United States
speakerFashion magazines. I don't pay attention to them at all. I rarely ever read magazines of any type so fashion is maybe at the bottom of my list of magazines that I would even be interested in.

Jim, England
speakerI think fashion magaizines are a bad idea. I think they show an image of women that the average woman maybe can't emulate and lead to a lot of unhappiness. I've actually appeared in Cosmopolitan, UK. I was in central London and a woman came up to me and asked me some opinions about relationships and took my photograph and a month later I was in the magazine.

Kate, New Zealand
speakerWomen's fashion magazines - I often buy magazines just to have a look but I find that the clothes that they wear are kind of extreme, and for example, someone like Paris Hilton who was recently in the fashion magazines a lot, that the clothes that she wears, a lot of people, a lot of teenages, 20 year-olds around my age, will not wear outside.

Rina, Canada
speakerI like fashion magazines but I try not to put my body image into the way their body image is, and that's a little hard. I try not to pay attention too much to that. I do like looking at them just because they're fun to look at the articles are good.

Todd, The United States
speakerI think fashion magazines are incredibly stupid. The models always just look ridiculous. They're always in some special pose in some special situation and the clothes that they wear, please, come on, like have you ever seen anybody wear the clothes you see in a fashion magazine, men's or women's out in public. It's pretty rare, so yeah, I think fashion magazines, for the most part, are pretty ridiculous.
