One of the better magazines of its genre July 7, 2008

This magazine has improved since the days of Bonnie Fuller. She turned it into a Cosmo clone with lots of "how to please your man in bed" articles and other sex related features. The magazine was obsessed with sex, to the point that I quit reading it until a year or two ago.
Nowadays there are fewer sex articles, though more than I would like. I do like the fact that Glamour covers a variety of topics. There's something for just about everyone. The dos and don'ts are fun, as well as the feature where a person does something really ridiculous to see how people respond. I will say that at 38 I'm starting to feel that I'm outgrowing the magazine a little bit. A lot of the articles seem to be targeted at someone younger than me. I'm not sure how much longer I will continue my subscription, but I do think this is one of the better women's magazines for gals in their 20s to mid 30s.
One warning about Conde Nast magazines: when you purchase a new subscription, they send you two old magazines from previous months, and count them against your subscription. I really dislike this practice. It has happened with every Conde Nast magazine I've subscribed to. Also, I often receive my magazine well after it has appeared on the newsstand. This might not bother some subscribers, but it bothers me.
By Far the Best Magazine on Newstands June 3, 2008
This is by far my favorite magazine. It's dynamic- it doesn't just focus on one topic, but many! Glamour has something for everyone, be it makeup tips or clothes for your body type, work out regimes, sex tips, and articles on global issues. Yes, some of the articles can be a bit repetitive, but come on, your reading a magazine, not a Shakespearean novel.
I love the articles by Marianne Pearl. She is traveling the world for Glamour, writing stories about social issues in our world. Not only are the articles well written, but they are uplifting and give light to problems that the media often ignores.
The Glamour Beauty section focuses on tips for applying makeup for the current season and fun hairstyles to try. Glamour Fashion has clothes that are mostly affordable for the everyday woman and it's fun to look at all the different styles. In addition, there is always a "Do and Don't" section which shows people wearing both ridiculous and chic outfits. The Men, Sex, and Love section usually has a Do and Don't section as well, and advice for women written by real men. Sometimes the celebrity interview can be a bit bland- they are often just promoting a new CD or movie, but others have been quite interesting. This section is often hit or miss.
What I like best about Glamour is the Real Stories section. There is always a page about an everyday hero, which is uplifting to read. Plus, usually a celebrity will tell about a transforming time in his or her life.
I love that Glamour isn't like every other magazine. There really is something for everyone and I always look forward to it every month.

It's a good magazine, but nothing spectacular about it. But then I just read a single issue of the magazine from my subscription.

To date, there is no magazine parallel to Glamour. It is so well tailored, concise, and consistent, all while staying extremely fresh and appealing. The articles are real, and smart! The layouts are interesting; they don't have merely one color and one font. There is an array of texts and hues to keep the reader appealed and yet it isn't too busy. The magazine doesn't have raunchy articles, just very informative, professional, articles. And the advertisements don't rule the magazine. They are placed in the magazine to enhance its already dynamic appeal. The magazine is so well balanced that after reading it, one cannot help but feel deeply satisfied. Glamour incorporates monthly, beauty, fashion, religion, political, economical, and health, trends and details. All of which are researched professionally and veracious. If you are searching for a woman's magazine and like intelligent and fun articles, which have well designed layouts, Glamour is the magazine for you!
