Each and every Christmas my Hubby can be counted on to top up my stock of girly magazines. (you know mindless reading magazines! Get you minds out of the gutter) The old faithful that is always stuffed into the stocking is my Cosmopolitan magazine. Usually within the week I have devoured the magazine from cover to cover. I mean, I can’t justify spending money on the trashy mags for myself but if they are a gift, I have to read them right?
Well here it is creeping up to the end of February and I finally found the time to open that bad boy up. The problem, it made me sad!
“Catchy” article titles like:
The Touch That Locks Down His Love
Dates He’ll Be Psyched to Go On
Downright Epic Décolletage
Look Amazing The Morning After
….no longer appeal to me. You know why? I don’t care!! Why not?
I’d much prefer articles with titles like this:
The Look That Will Make Him Take The Garbage Out
Play Dates He Won’t Moan About and Maybe Even Lend a Hand
Cleavage Is Over Rated, Rock What You’ve Got
and even
Teach Him To Think You’re Gorgeous with No Make-up
and Yoga Pants
Sigh. I guess the reality is, I’m getting old. I figure I know all the sex tricks I’m going to need, I have no time for games, and if my “décolletage” doesn’t look good enough to him after birthing two of his giant babies and nursing them both…. well he can suck it.
Guess next Christmas I’ll ask for some Oprah or Martha Stewart Living!
Mwah!

I’m with ya on this one! I have no interest in it anymore! I had a yearly subscription and to be completely honest I had more fun stacking the magazines in order so I could see what the picture was on the spine of the magazines, rather then reading the inside…haha. I think for the most part, the articles are just recycled information that is done slightly different then the issue before. I’d much rather read real simple or Style at Home and get some tips I could really use. Rather then figuring out how to get my man to love me without make up. If he doesn’t love me without make up yet….we are in biggggggg trouble! -Great post! Thanks 🙂 -Kate
