Teen Magazines 01/01/08

First of all, I'd like to wish you all a very happy new year! So, I was thinking about what to write an article, I was flipping through my subscription of Seventeen and I just could not help but laugh. So here it is, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me god...

The thing that bothers me the most about these magazines is the hypocrisy. They always go on and on and ON about how you should always be happy with yourself and how you're good enough and you shouldn't change and blah blah blah. Then BAM! In the beauty section: How to change yourself using only makeup to make yourself prettier cause obviously we're lying, and you're really NOT good enough!

Second of all, the time and resources they put into this just to make money is ridiculous. And then Seventeen has the nerve to talk about how you should recycle. Um hello?! YOU ARE WASTING LIKE A MILLION TREES!!! Stop trying to make it seem like you care. YOU DON'T!

And of course we have Teen Vogue. Which is not only completely and utterly boring, but on top of that, they don't even try to make it seem like you're good enough. No you have to be rich, famous, and fur-wearer to be good enough. Of course it's somewhat better than Vogue but puh-lease, I am so sick of seeing Lauren Conrad. I know she works there OK?!? I LOVE THE HILLS, but stop using her for publicity. Even if she's not a major story she's always in somehow.

Lastly, I'd like to make a disclaimer. I love Seventeen. I love to read it and yes this is somewhat of an exaggeration, but it doesn't change the fact that TEEN VOGUE IS FREAKING BORING!

pce, love, bee
