Advantages: thick paper is fab for the floor when defrosting the freezer

Disadvantages: no interecting articles, tacky

when younger HELLOused to glisten on the newsaagents shelf like baby oil on a chippendale. Withit's glossy thick paper it held so much appeal to ten year old me. I viewed it as a glamourous grown up magazine, i thought is bound to be amazing after seeing the champagne luch lifestyles eddie and pats dah-ling indulged in on a day to day basis as glossy mag editors in Absolutely Fabulous- i didn't want the drink i think i should add just in case the thought of a ten year old have champagne goggle eyes alarmingly sprang to mind. just the fun looking life.
in my young mind i concluded the mag must be full of wonderful things.
fast forward 14 years i finally got hold of a copy- the appeal of it faded as i got to my teens when the likes of just seventeen, now took precedence, hence forgeting about it till 'older'.
And my god it was..total tripe! at an extortionate £3.50 or something similar. all we are paying for it seems is the photographers salary because there is not one article of interest. Maybe it once was a bit more credible as a celebrity glossy featuring the creme de la creme of hollywood royalty as well as the real thing and eurotrash nouveau riche. but the cult of celebrity has somewhat changed since then and now its filled with footballers and their WAGs, and tacky beyond belief. if pics of z list celebritys' posing by a pool are your thing go for it. But if you prefer a magazine you can read. i suggest you look elsewhere.

Summary: boring, but if you're interested in photographs you may like it
