**~~WHAT IS COSMO?~~**
Cosmo is a women's magazine which seems to be aimed at young female professionals. It regards itself as very prestigious! It features alot of fashion and beauty but also include articles which deal with issues like rape and alcholism amongst young women today. The word which springs to most people's mind when they think of Cosmopoliton is "SEX!". It's true, there is ALOT of sex in it ranging from problems to positions and is quite often put in a sealed 'X-rated' Section! Another word which springs to mind is "ADVERTS" - there are alot of fashion adverts too, although not as much as in dedicated fashion magazines like Elle.


**~~WHAT KIND OF STUFF CAN I EXPECT TO READ?~~**
Expect to pick up lots and lots of make-up tips and the latest fashion trends. All in all I suppose it's quite narrow-minded but a young girly girl like me soaks it all up! (no, really, I'm not a fashion victim - honest!) If I'm feeling in a more 'reading' mood (that's opposed to 'flicking' whereby I just flick randomly through the pages looking for stuff which interests me) there are usually a couple of good articles about 'serious' stuff. They're in-depth reports which deal with real issues (usually relevant, often not!) which make a quite interesting read. Interviews often crop up (big time celebrity interviews) and they're usually OK although Cosmo journalists have a tendancy to ask useless questions!


**~~IS IT ANY GOOD?~~**
All in all I suppose it's...well...crap. To be honest! It's an easy 'flicking' magazine but really not worth the £2.70 I sometimes fork out for it. If you do quite fancy having a look at this mag, you can't miss it in the shelves - look for a chunky magazine with loads of leaflets falling out and some celb 'babe' on the front with big slogans like "HAVE BETTER SEX!" (Don't expect
miracles!) And you've found it!
