  1. I picked up the magazine on the table and looked at it. All the girls portrayed as sex filled objects. It sickened me; but as much as i wouldn’t like to admit it, i was one of them. But once you were in, its hard to get out…

  2. Green with envy,
    turn the pages,
    fill your heart with selfish greed.
    i want to be them,
    the magazine princesses,
    with their flawless faces and perfect smiles.
    i need to be them,
    the magazine queens,
    with that headline above me: “most beautiful”
    and yet it will never be, will it?
    you stare at your reflection,
    drowning in your tears as you fail to see past the surface.
    the horror you feel as you think…
    “not pretty enough, not good enough, not skinny enough”
    childish fears.
    you should know you are beautiful,
    inside and out.
    but as hard as you try to forget them,
    the paper faces still leer up at you in their perfection, saying
    “what are you compared to me?”
    they are the real monsters,
    and yet you still see one in the mirror.
    so get rid of them,
    the magazine princesses.
    rip their perfect faces into strips and throw them into the wind,
    because you can.
    why cry over something that is not real?

  3. Magazines are found everywhere and usually contain the latest information about celebrities. Sometimes it’s actual information and other times it can be total crap, but it’s always interesting. The covers make you want to buy it and grab it, they’re enticing.

  4. It’s always rainy whenever I read magazines. Well not always, but there’s something about reading about how nice this looks or how gorgeous this thing is. In a way I’m content enough with myself, as well as in a good mood, to read a magazine that may or may not make me feel concerned about my image. It’s just nice to look at all these pretty things and not feel one bit bad about myself.

  5. Magazines that are directed toward women are filled with airbushed models who created unrealistically high expectaions from women about themselves. It’d ridiculous that they can airbrush em so much. And the models are too skinny, they look ill :(

  6. It’snot every day that mom brings home a magazine. Oh, but when she does, it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s the one time where I can take a glance at what’s happening outside of the compound. The one time where I can see that there are more humans like me.

  7. lies, vicious lies. deception and greed. unstoppable, fear inducing, sickness. downfall in modern society

  8. Okay. Prepare for magazines to become extinct. -.-

  9. If I ever have to read one or write about one for this website again, I will personally make sure all records of the blasted things are wiped from the face of the earth, along with the whiney old women who write them.

    Oh, apart from knitting magazines.
    We can keep those.

  10. magazines are full of lies and bullshit. The thin pages reveal the weight of the words written on them. The pretty faces and the skinny bodies that fit in between. We look to such crap to try to find out who we are, but we are no where to be found.

  11. Popular reads for people across the world. Sports, Fashion, News, History. There’s a magazine for anything and everything.

  12. magazines are these things that you buy in the store. They’re about completely useless and pointless subjects most of the time. The writers are often old women who don’t have lives, bribing desperate housewives with promises of free gifts to make you beautiful every month if you subscribe to their magazines which just bitch about the lives of celebrities that they will never have.
    The other genres that magazines usually cover are often gadgets, or cars, which you could just as easily (in fact more so) look up on the internet, save time, trees and money.
    If I am perfectly honest with you, I view magazines as an affliction to the human mind. Get. Rid. Of. Them.
    All in all magazines are completely pointless books of crap and their writers should be shot at dawn.
    Thank you.

  13. There were a million of them all stacked up in rows, columns, towers. They could probably make a castle, a small forte, or a house. Piles and piles. And they were all hers. Collected since she was young.

  14. Magazines are a dying breed. It saddens me because I have so loved reading them in the past. i have learned so much from them and will always be grateful.

  15. Filled with corporate ammunition, or in the case of independent magazines, anti-mainstream-corporation-it’s the system-it’s the man-down with the system!-fight the man! ammunition.

  16. The pile of magazines are outdated, old, and filled with has beens. The girl kicks her feet back and forth silently, a magazine about the latest trends for teens spread across her lap. She looks up at the clock, and then at her the white walls of the hospital.

    “When’s mommy coming out?” She asks her father, head tilted curiously and innocently. Her father stays silent.

  17. The magazines were stacked on the table. Quite messily. My impulsiveness made me want to throw them off the table. They were so sloppily arranged. Carefully, being sure I wouldn’t throw anything, I stacked them into a neat pile. That was much better…. less

  18. Magazines. Gossip. Fashion. Advice. They have it all eve tips on how to give a satisfactory blowjob. Do they even think about the strong young women reading that stuff? But why not include politics or law? Instead of tips about sex. Maybe both would be healthy.

  19. Libelle, linda, margriet, donald duck. I don’t read lots of magazines, but I sure do know some.
    Even thousgh I don’t read many, I look at a lot of them in the shops. Dunnow why. I guess I like them, but don’t want to buy it because I have to throw them away when I’m done reading. And the people in it look to pretty.

  20. Magazines. Papers. Platic. Advertisments. They ahve it all. It’s amazing what they show and what they forget. They tell secrets on how to give a good blowjob but are oblivious to supporting the mid set of strong young women. Why not politics or law instead of sex

  21. Dirty, old magazines littered the floor of the once upscale apartment. On the wall was a broken picture, of a family. It was ripped in two, but still hanging on.

    Kat
  22. I did this already. It reminds me of my family. We would sit around and pass around gossip magazines and talk about what they were wearing, who they were dating. It was like bliss… Like lightly wrapped bliss… I miss them…

  23. Ever since you left everything is bland. Looking through my magazines, seeing all the happy model couples, the advice they give girls for relationships, i see its all utter bullshit. I just want you back, and even though it is not possible, i just want one more day. I want a day like i see in those magazines, the modeled day. I want you. I want us. I want what we had.

  24. perfect to waste your time.still useless, prefer a good book. although, you can learn a few tips about god knows what. eh, ok

  25. I miss the feel of a paper magazine in my hand, turning of the pages, the smell of the ink and the gloss of the pictures. I admit there is a convenience to the Kindle and the ipad, but nothing can replace holding the written word.

  26. magazines, i wasnt expecting that to be the word.
    i sang a song abour magazines toda….
    magazine sitting on the table in the wating room of the dentist. lush green forest on the cover with mountains surrounding. blah blah magazines with nasty slut bitches and dirty fake pricks.

  27. I can’t believe that I still buy magazines. The internet is much faster and provides immediate information. But, still there is something about flipping the pages, musing over pictures and scanning the pages that relaxes more than a web search ever could.

  28. gross and leathery feeling and shiny and smell bad and not tasty and not spelled the way it sounds

  29. Rin picked up one of the magazines off the table in the waiting room. She hadn’t expected to be there for so long, and was quickly becoming bored. She now saw why Soren didn’t usually accompany Echo. Coughing people surrounded her, some worse than others, and a few people with… more serious issues. Hospitals disgusted her. She hated being there. She worried about Echo being there.
    Sighing, she started to flip through the pages, trying to find contentment in waiting and reading.

  30. Someday, I want to see my face in the magazines.
    I want to be famous, yes.
    But, even more so,
    I want to matter.

    Rachel
  31. The thing with magazines, in my opinion, is that they divulge so much useless information, outweighing the actual important things, that our minds become cluttered with too much nonsense. Of course there’s such a thing as entertainment but not a sort that will rot our brains in the process.

  32. I will be sad the day that they don’t publish magazines on paper anymore and go electronically. That will be a sad, sad, day.

  33. Press
    Rubbish
    Famous people
    Cover up
    News
    Actuality

  34. one day while sitting in her house, a little girl stapled together some paper. she wanted to make a magazines. making magazines. perfect future. i will do it. she did it. will you?

  35. They were everywere. Brightly colored and glossy, just begging to be picked up. I finally decided on one that had a picture of Kim Kardashian on the cover. “Did she really get a nosejob?” I thought to my self. You see, this is the problem with magazines, they get you to think things you never would have thought otherwise.

  36. Should magazines shoulder the entire blame for promoting unattainable standards of beauty. Why isn’t some of the fault laid on the readership who accepts that these standards are beauty? As teenagers, my friends and I laughed at the emaciated models in Seventeen. We knew those hot clothes would look so much better on real girls like us than those skeletal waifs. Just because it’s put out there and labeled beauty, doesn’t mean we have to accept it.

  37. i would want to start my own one day. Something different. Fashion, New York and photography.

  38. Magazines can be so annoying. Mainly because the only ones that come to the top of my head are either teen magazines or fashion magazines. Teen magazines are at least more interesting because they always have those fun quiz things that lead you from Point A to Point B based on your choices, and everybody knows I love doing that. It’s fun. Personality quizzes are fun. I like Blogthings.

  39. Magazines are considered frivolous by many people, especially fashion magazines. Peopl think they portray negative images of women and set young girls up to believe they must be or live a certain way. This causes girls to have low self esteem when they don’t fall into these guidelines

  40. Glamor and shit that doesn’t really matter… nonetheless we want to watch and look and see and above all compare. Like a moth to a flame, we’re attracted and cannot help it, it’s unfortunate… and it’s fun. Unless it’s educational… hmmm.
