I picked it up last night at Borders.
The layout is a bit much on the eyes.
The ads:
American Express(2)
Nissan Altima
Target
Make A Wish Foundation
several beauty {hair, makeup, etc..}products
several clothing companys
Crysler
Ortho Evera(birth control)
Ford Escape
HBO (2)
Jeep Liberty Renegade
Style maagazine
Toyota Solara
Chevy Equinox
VW Touareg (wagon style car)
The articles were ok. This mag is not for the clothing conservative in terms of $$. I would support this mag because of a couple of reasons.
1. Unique
2. No cigarette ads or alcohol ads.
3. It's put out by Essence
4. There are black folks listed as contributing photographers
