(How is that poor little emulsion up the nose boy faring, by the way?)<BR/><BR/>Franzy - excellent point. It is indeed pornography and not a bad price at around $7.95 and with the chance of scoring a tiny foil pouch of youth serum or a perfumed wrist card.<BR/><BR/>Gigglewick - I used to read the Monthly whenever my ex-boss, Bulldog remembered (rarely) to bring it back from home (despite work paying for it). Buy the Quarterly essay occasionally - let me know when you get something in, won't you?<BR/><BR/>Miles - Bum Dance or Cheeto Pants. Pretty scary stuff.<BR/><BR/>River - well done you. I need to be like that, and borrow instead of buy, especially when they're worthless to me after I've read 'em.<BR/><BR/>Helen - best of luck with your field work. Surely you deserve a bit of glossy trash when not looking at frogs, or monkeys or geckos?<BR/><BR/>Eleanor - too right they're the real top five. Trouble is, we can't have a monthly mag that says that each and every month,can we.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-38384412934640836712008-08-29T09:52:00.000+02:002008-08-29T09:52:00.000+02:00Ha!

You should be a proud mum indeed!<BR/><BR/>I think I buy about one women's/fashion mag a year and then tend to leave it unread and collecting dust on the coffee table shelf.<BR/><BR/>I used to read boyfriends'/friends' copies of MH for the amusement factor also. Your top 5 are PERFECT. (A bf once bought me one of those toys. It went back in its box and then I neatly put it away in the garbage. When he asked about it I said, "Oh, I put it away in a box somewhere." You know, I think those hideous, brightly coloured contraptions just exist to make men's penises appear that bit more attractive...)eleanor bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642298362764360355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-64148912260789641002008-08-29T09:35:00.000+02:002008-08-29T09:35:00.000+02:00I read men's health at work from time to time beca...I read men's health at work from time to time because the guy who works there during the week leaves his behind. It makes me laugh, although I'm saddened to think that men out there might actually believe that stuff! And while those ensembles are pretty awful, I think if the models had a better hairstyle it might not be as bad!<BR/><BR/>I don't actually go out and buy magazines often, although whenever I go ona fieldtrip I buy Go! which is a south african travel magazine. I try to limit the number of copies I buy because I get really depressed about all of the places I want to visit!<BR/><BR/>Otherwise I love flipping through the home and garden type magazines, and looking at the pictures, but I've never actually bought one for myself.<BR/><BR/>(after all of that I'll admit the truth. I read The Economist. And I like it.)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098708210972869491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-5167499694579332332008-08-29T08:03:00.000+02:002008-08-29T08:03:00.000+02:00I gave up buying Women's Weekly, New Idea and ...I gave up buying Women's Weekly, New Idea and Woman's Day when I realised I was ignoring 98% of the magazine and just doing the puzzle pages. What I buy or borrow from the library nowadays is Earth Garden, House and Garden, anything on Permaculture and anything that has house plans in it. I love to fool around with house plans. Couldn't care less what x,y & z are doing, wearing or earning.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-17586070103685773872008-08-29T05:22:00.000+02:002008-08-29T05:22:00.000+02:00I haven't bought a magazine since the historic edi...I haven't bought a magazine since the historic edition of Cosmo that had Sara Marie on the front saying be proud of who you are...but on the back cover, an alternative picture of Britney Spears, lest anyone feel uncomfortable about looking at Sara Marie...Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-36056900880815360202008-08-29T04:21:00.000+02:002008-08-29T04:21:00.000+02:00Because I'm a leftist nerd, my magazine purchasing...Because I'm a leftist nerd, my magazine purchasing tends to reflect this - the only two I buy regularly are The Monthly and Quarterly Essay. <BR/><BR/>Mr Fix gets National Geographic passed on by my dad, but it's fair to say that this is a very patchy publication these days.<BR/><BR/>I used to be an avid reader and collector of Rolling Stone and the now defunct Juice in my teen years.<BR/><BR/>I buy delicious when I can for the same reason as you, but my driving desire for new recipes is now increasingly being met by teh interwebs.gigglewickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920541341649189801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-8368639723568327442008-08-29T03:19:00.000+02:002008-08-29T03:19:00.000+02:00I like pornography magazines!

Wheels, Car, Motor and now Top Gear Australia *moan, shudder* They're sort of <I>like</I> celebrity magazines, because the celebrities are just as obtainable, but every month the celebrities become hotter, sleeker, sexier and more attractive, rather than just fatter, more fertile and less slathered in make-up.<BR/><BR/>And toilet seats?

I am also very cheap so I borrow the new(ish) ones from the library and buy up any old ones I see in secondhand stores (which I love for the ads AND the stories, so much fun!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
