Diva

Way a DIVAn?t kna like! I?ve been buying this magazine for 3 years now. (well my girlfriend has). I first came across it when I was left in her flat alone for the first time. Now I shouldn?t really admit to this, but I was snooping ?as you do?, I was in the middle of my snoop when I came across this magazine. Imagine my delight, when on the front cover I saw the most beautiful looking woman my eyes had ever come across. That was it, my hunt for any juicy items in my girlfriends flat had stopped, and there was I engrossed in a magazine. Now this is my magazine of choice, each month I pop into WH Smiths and buy it. 2.25 into the till, and with a ...  Read the complete review

I subscribed to this magazine for about three years and have just cancelled my subscription. At first it was quite an interesting read with various stories, issues, information etc but now I find it rather stale and uninteresting. In months gone by I was quite excited when it arrived and read it from cover to cover but now they just stack up on the shelf mostly unread as I find the stories uninteresting and repetitive. There is much focus on the gay 'scene' and mostly feature obviously gay women. There is little in the way of hot women to look at and rarely focuses on feminine women and those who live outside of the big smoke. There are ...  Read the complete review

I bought this when I was still 'closeted' hoping to 'discover' and share in the news and interests of my 'own kind'. It has all of the usual magazine topics: letters, news, gossip and interviews. But of course, all targeted at the British lesbian. It tends to be a bit of a lottery with this magazine. One month you'll get a few articles that are really interesting reading. The next there will be nothing. I've never hit the 'jack pot' yet with a fully enjoyable magazine. The front, colourful glossy cover tends to be a bit of a trick to make you buy it. I picked it up and expected to see a fully, colourful and ...  Read the complete review

Diva is quite literally one of a kind, it's the only nationwide UK lesbian magazine. It's the 'sister publication' of GayTimes and is aimed at lesbians (and bisexual women) in The United Kingdom and also in Europe. It has a diverse range of articles from gardening tips to TV features, from clubbing guides to fashion features. Although Diva is fairly good many of its readers feel disgruntled that it appears to be aiming at too wide an audience. At a rough estimate 15% of UK women are lesbians, that's 4.5 million potential readers and Diva trys to appeal to every single one of them. The problem with that is that the magazine comes across as a ...  Read the complete review

I have only just recently 'come out' as a bisexual women. In looking for magazines to gain information and general interest factor, I have found very little. The first edition of Diva that I read was ok. But I wsn't overly impressed. I felt it was the only acceptable magazine for me to read but I was disppointed. I find it very heavy to read. I like a magazine to be full of interesting articles, stories and tips etc on the subjects featured. I did not find this as such in this magazine. It is not a magazine for Bisexual women and its viewpoint is directed at Lesbians. Which is ok but it would better if it featured articles directed at those in the middle of ...  Read the complete review
