There seems to be a little more balance to some of the articles since she came on board.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859755625440254862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-88230137017443762852009-09-04T18:17:15.990+02:002009-09-04T18:17:15.990+02:00I know, Lisa, It seems as if hitting that 4 0 mark...I know, Lisa, It seems as if hitting that 4 0 mark is the best thing that could ever happen to a woman.<br /><br />Lesley does keep her covers on message. Re-touching, lighting and all the rest are all part of the business. Everyone selling us something believes we want to see perfection. I don't know, maybe we do.

And to think I thought she would be an inspiring interview for us. <br /><br />Lesley-Jane Seymour, the editor of MORE is a good friend -- we worked together in the past -- graciously sends it to me every month. Must say I didn't recognize Robin Wright -I-wonder-if-she's going-to-drop-the-Penn, on the September cover, but Lesley, editorially speaking, seems to stay on message as much as is possible in the world of fashion and beauty.tishjett@yahoo.comhttp://afemmeduncertainage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-34959369425230928372009-09-04T14:11:20.074+02:002009-09-04T14:11:20.074+02:00Hmmmm, I am going to see if there are any 'For...Hmmmm, I am going to see if there are any 'Forty Plus' magazines here in Australia and report back although I bet it will be the same story - it is appalling really and unacceptable too!Semi Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839322243900070800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-84499401073085378882009-09-04T04:18:39.225+02:002009-09-04T04:18:39.225+02:00thewomenshop.webs.comthewomenshop.webs.comm-online08https://www.blogger.com/profile/03669536207610792252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-32795044794854609082009-09-04T00:15:31.537+02:002009-09-04T00:15:31.537+02:00Compared to Chanel, it makes the Anne Fontaine pie...Compared to Chanel, it makes the Anne Fontaine piece sound practically free.

In general I think most "women's magazines" are not very interesting because they all seem to follow a certain formula and unfortunately, MORE is no different-hair, makeup, clothes and an article that includes some woman declaring she's the happiest she's ever been now that she's over 40! Oh, and a fluff piece on whatever the issue/cause du jour is. To be fair though, it is nice that MORE does not use teenage models that I'm aware of.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859755625440254862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-14084672403622248752009-09-03T20:30:47.082+02:002009-09-03T20:30:47.082+02:00We have "Mode" magazine for the 40+ set....We have "Mode" magazine for the 40+ set. Have to say I've mostly been unimpressed, though I can't recall whether their fashion spreads are modeled by teenagers or not.<br /><br />Ever since you mentioned black patent loafers in your comments last week, I've been on a mission to find some! Will post about it next week. Bottom line, they have to be comfortable too.<br /><br />LOVE those Laduree macaroons.

How do the editors justify the contradiction in what they say and what they do, I wonder? <br /><br />I would so love to have a trip to Paris, and that CL box at Laduree would be on my list. It is to die for. Macarons are a tad too sweet for my taste, but I'm sure I'd find a way to manage.Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18263482303983558563noreply@blogger.com
