Its a Mag World

I am not one for women's mags.

Actually,they depress me a bit.

In their pages, there is never a blemish on anyone

Or a bulge

or a wrinkle:

a broken nail

or a split end

If you are over 35

over 50kgs

over the top

or over the hill

Then these mags are not for you

"Between the covers of this mag", they imply, " you will discover how to be a forever young, forever beautiful and fascinating woman."

Skin care; make up; clothes; diets; love hints; lust hints -

Serpentlike they whisper:

"Imagine. . .

every woman will envy you

and every man will desire you."

Heady stuff -

But bear in mind:

That, in my world, a trip to the mall for groceries is an outing;

coffee with friends is a social event

for which nobody I know does their hair, nails or make up -

That if I put on a skirt, my family ask me where I'm going.

(I wonder if my grandchildren even know I have legs. . . . maybe they just think that I am just denim from the hips down. . . .);

That clothes only maketh man as long as man is the righteth shapeth;

That Cher actually owes it all to the knife and not to anyone's wunder cream;

That if any man had to look at me, I would think I had spinach in my teeth;

And that being envied by other women is not all its cracked up to be . . . .

Anyway, all this to say

I have discovered a great mag!

(NEVER thought I'd say that.)

Its called: "REAL SIMPLE"

"Life Made Easier"

Don't you love the sound of that?!

And if you haven't tried it, I suggest you give it a whirl.

Its been a great to find cos MM is STILL sick - the flu is turning out to be a very ugly viral thing, which is now bronchitis with a twist.

So my 24/7 TLC world is still happening - and the odd magazine article is all I have time for right now.
