I got Glamour and Seventeen as a teen and kept Glamour until long after I was married. I added Cosmopolitan and Vogue in college. I read all of them cover to cover. I am so disappointed to see what they became. I cancelled my subscription to McCall's when Rosie O'Donnell turned it into Rosie's and ruined it IMO. 

I used to love to curl up with my magazines. Now I still subscribe to a few food and decorating magazines. If they get political I will leave them.

Yes, I agree about the magazines I read being safe from controversy!  I am sorry the fashion magazines aren't doing well   I guess they feel  the need to broaden their subject matter to attract new subscribers.  However,, if something has appealed to people for a long time, why change  I fear magazines are in danger of going out of business, at least some. I will continue my subscriptions and newspaper deliveries!!!!

Agreed on Vanity Fair. If I hadn't received it for free (via the reward survey site) I'd have unsubscribed due to the last few issues. It's become insufferable.

I used to faithfully get this magazine.  I hadn't read it in a long time and recently got a fantastic offer for a subscription so I bit!  A couple months ago, I got my first issue.  I won't go into detail because it would definitely get me into dutch but what a disappointment!  And --- it is nothing like it used to be!  If I want to get bombarded with this type of stuff I will just turn on the news!  Plus, the 2 issues I've gotten are so thin.  I realize that magazines are really on the decline and suffering, but seriously if they want people to keep buying, they need to try harder to satisfy those of us who still want and buy them!

I stopped a few fashion magazines.  There is so much advertisement in magazines today.  However, I just subscribed to Martha Stewart Living for one year.

@AngelPuppy1   Yes, I agree with you!  Vanity Fair fell long and hard.  There used to be a lot of articles of interest to a wide range of people.

What I got rid of in addition:

• Pioneer Woman--nothing but ads and family album
• All America's Test Kitchen Magazines and Web--enough of that in my lifetime, no longer need.
• AllRecipes
• Better Homes and Gardens--never liked and never ordered but somehow got!
• Bazaar

What I keep and love:

• Southern Living--although it is not what it used to be
• Martha Stewart Living--love and look forward to it!
• Southern Homes--CRAZY about that Magazine
• Southern Lady
• Victoria--that one won't be renewed
• Tea Time--I'm about to give up on that as well
• Veranda
• Traditional Home

Fashion Magazine were replaced by Fashion Blogs years ago.  I subscribe to a few of them.  My favorite one is by Brooklyn Blonde.  They are much more up to date.

I used to get all of the Interior Design publications you have for my classes to use in their projects.

The world has moved on.  I can still see my mom under the big dryer hood reading them at the hairdressers.  They used to peddle a perfect little lady image.

None of the younger folks go near them.  The last paper magazine I had was The Economist a few years ago.  Lots online to see.

@Still Raining Which is why a lot of the younger folks don't know much except social media and a few "hacks."  And what celebrities are doing.
