Well not just her, remember when Marie-Chantal Miller married Prince Pavlos of Greece? That was in 1995. People magazine did a 10-page spread and it included not only a family picture (it had just about every royal in Europe) but a picture of her $20,000 cake which was based on thier china pattern.

Maybe we should write to Oprah.

that was when Vibe Vixen came out... and we saw where that went. wasn't savoy and honey, among others, trying to do the same thing?

maybe essence is trying their hand at appealing to a younger demographic.

and just like some of you mentioned you've outgrown Essence, i havent really grown into it... so im stuck reading about how to buy a home, meet mr right at work, and finding the right pediatrician. which is great i guess... but i aint there yet.

that's what i thought, but the interweb wont give me anything on it.

^^^^^^ Don't know how I missed that in your post about Honey. I really did like that magazine. It was more about fashion and lifestyle and not very political. I think I may still have a few old copies of it at my mom's house.

I didn't know about HSH until I read your blog! Normally, I'm up on that sort of thing.

After growing up with Essence in the house, I realized that there were things I was interested in other than:

-finding/keeping a good Black man
-getting my money straight (I have a planner for that one, thanks!)
-losing weight

Don't get me started on Ebony, either. They have had the same five articles FOREVER:
-most eligible bachelors/bachelorettes
-some recipes for diabetics
-something about the Fashion Fair
-which GM or Ford car to buy this year
-and some entertainer

I just don't read that many magazines anymore.
