These magazines are looking for bodies, that's why some are so cheap or even free. I do remember HSN offering free subscriptions with certain purchases years ago.. They need numbers to sell to advertisers. I was getting the New York Times online for a dollar aweek for two years. The price would jump and I would call and they would go back to the dollar deal. A friend said "I feel guilty because I can afford the regular price." Silly girl. They need those numbers more than subscription fees. Take it as long as they will do it. P.S I did quit because I was attending to DH's recent health problem. He's now OK. I just didn't have time to read and I missed the price jump.

I just don't think fashion magazines are relevant anymore. Women have access to bloggers, Youtube, and Instagram influencers who are much more relatable than a professional model. These magazines often showed completely impractical outfits that were outrageously expensive on someone who didn't look like us or live like us. The days of 6'0" size 2 models showcasing what we should be wearing are over, thankfully.

In Style promised all of this wonderful information on their cover; the items were 1-3 pages, then they became political! They killed themselves.
We can get politics anywhere. Really!
@ECBG - ITA! I used to subscribe too. It seems like all of the magazines I couldn't wait to come are full of political articles. I don't think those belong in fashion magazines. When I saw them in Glamour and GQ I knew they had gone to "the dark side"!
I want to see fashion and style and read articles about that. I know where to go to read about politics and controversy. Stay out of my fashion and beauty magazines!

My largest loss was Bazzar. I had quit In Style years before the polictic because of all the awards gowns; why would I want that?
Bazzar was really, really good.
