Womens magazines are all about ''sisterhood'', ''body confidence'', ''happiness in being single'' right? WRONG!! These magazines are contradictory, gossip filled, more than often pointless rags of nothingness. Hence why i don't buy them. Fair play, they do have their good points, like ratings on movies and places to go, but most of the time it is telling you why you should feel good about yourself, whilst making you feel bad.
Cosmo is a badyin for it. I saw one issue not so long ago called the ''Body Confidence'' issue. The main headline of the magazine toted being happy with yourself, say no to size zero, eat that big mac bitch and don't go on the stair master, etc. But alas, it fucked itself royally, for right underneath this headline read ''The Bikini Body diet : Drop 2 stone in a month and get sexy''. wait a minute? i thought we were meant to ''embrace our curves'' and ''eat what we want.'', not ''show them ribs'' and ''eat 2 ryvita a day''. and another one on a valentines issue ; ''How to have a happy single valentines''. then right underneath, ''how to bag that man''. these magazines claim to be helping women feel more confident about themselves and doing things on their own, that they don't need to be 2 kids -and-a-dog type people to have fun. In my opinion they are doing the exact fucking opposite.
The gossip part isn't so bad, but personally, i really don't give a flying fuck if Cheryl Cole (sorry, It's ''Tweedy'' again, until when she takes him back) has malaria (would she care if it was me? no. exactly.) or if Victoria Beckham has lost 3 stone on the raisin and rice diet. Total waste of time, and money. every one is the same. I don't give a fuck about the latest must have must own ugly bastard handbag, i don't give a fuck about who Jordan has pumped now and i most certainly don't need to know how i can drop 3 dress sizes in a week eating goji berries.
No way Pedro
