Officially A "Blogger"

I used to think people that had blogs were like those nerds in high school who sit at home and study for Monday's test on a Friday night. I thought blogs were a cheap way of publishing ones opinions when their friends or family wouldn't listen to what they had to say, and come on, are people really going to be reading your thoughts and opinions??? But my journalism class prompted a change of heart about blogging. Even if I am the only one reading my own thoughts and opinions, that's fine, but here are my thoughts about my monthly obsession, fashion magazines.
Aside from the more costly ways of to relax, (massages, facials, ect...), I've found that sitting in my kitchen with a Dunkin Donut hot chocolate and a plate of scrambled eggs with cheese easily suffices as my meditation or relaxation. I recruited my mother as the middle man in my magazine zen. She goes to the various supermarkets or bookstores to pick up the magazines and by the time I woke up, I have fresh monthly magazines awaiting my arrival in the kitchen.
Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Elle, Teen Vogue, and
Glamour are my main vices. My main passion and what intrigues me the most are the fashion contenders; Elle and Vogue. Out of the many competition magazines, ( Lucky, W, Harpers Bazaar,) I have found these two fashion magazines really come out with issues on what fashion truly is. The different seasonal shows, trends, designer interviews, and critiques on anything fashion grabbed me as a habitual reader. Aside from the fashion, celebrity interviews and model editorials are included. Health and political articles somehow sneak into their issues in a clever and interesting way.
After I read, (or more so examine carefully) each magazine I will then begin my blogging, so stay tuned......

  3. Did I influence you in any way? =] When I first started I too used food. I would take tall glass of milk and some cookies and the Sports Section of The New York Times.

  4. I like that phrase "a cheap way of publishing one's opinions".. it sets a very distinct style for your blog.

  5. magazines don't put their full layout on the websites, do they? I could only ever find certain features when I looked. Do you know any other ways to read magazines without having to subscribe to them?

  6. So how do you like your first week of blogging? Does it make you feel like a nerd or geek? Do your magazines ever talk about who famous sports starts are dating? If so, can you tell me what's the news with Alex Rodriguez and Madonna and Derek Jeter and his girlfriend?
