Yes Those high priced glossy things. I know there are some that are ok. The ones I am talking about are the real glossies. Cosmo. MarieClaire, Young Miss. I used to get Young Miss for my daughters. They had make up how to and there things the girls were interested in. No way would I hand a teenager a copy of these magazines any more. I had a few complimentary copies of several sent to me recently. I got an education. Tell me. What teenage girl needs to know 30 positions to have sex? Oh there were illustrations also just in case they didn't understand the written word. Wouldn't want any mistakes here.
That was maybe the worst thing I saw but looking at the advertisements turned me green also. Emaciated models with weird weird looks. One add for a perfume was over the top too. It was in color but everything was black and white. The male models were nude and posed in positions of self preservation for lack of any other way to discribe it. The females were dominate. Dresssed in black and white with domineering facial expressions. One was holding something that looked like a cattle prod. To sell perfume?
I have been known to read Playboy in years past and honestly these magazines I just discribed have less taste than Playboy. No wonder the teens are confused and way too knowledgeable about things that should never be learned or if learned should be learned gradually as we age. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
