A lot of my friends (aged early 20s) are moving away from the glossy ad-filled magazines like Cosmo and Cleo (which seem to be all about what you don't have/what you need to make your life better/ etc.) to more thoughtful magazines such as Frankie, Peppermint, and Slow. I stopped buying magazines as I found women's magazines have stopped empowering women, and are about the hard-sell. The one dimensional view of men ("what he's really thinking!" "how to be better than his ex!") were also a tired and offensive format. Having 3 brothers and a wonderful partner, as well as many male friends, I find the way they portray men is limited, innacurate and above all offensive. Magazines like Frankie and Slow, etc. help to showcase some amazing people, stories, concepts, and products, without ever having to make you feel your life is lacking in order to do so. I've never heard of pip, thanks for the recommendation I will check it out!<br />Best,<br />BecBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286158564215728605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-67773011341949690382014-09-25T03:29:18.545+10:002014-09-25T03:29:18.545+10:00I doubt it will be on sale in the US but you could...I doubt it will be on sale in the US but you could probably buy it on their website and have it posted.rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-1681896825187233052014-09-25T00:53:43.282+10:002014-09-25T00:53:43.282+10:00This looks absolutely wonderful!

I'm particularly interested in the gardening and simple living magazines. I would expect this to be the case at other Brisbane libraries. In the middle of our summer it's great to pop in there during the worst of the heat. Regards.

I like the sound of Pip and also Slow. I'm in WA so will check out if our local newsagent stocks either one.

I borrow Frankie and Peppermint from the library and mum gave me a subscription to Green, Sustainable Architecture and Landscape Design for my birthday. As well as the amazing and require-tattslotto-funds-to-build sustainable housing they have permaculture tips and great articles on innovative, entrepreneurial and green small businesses and ideas.

My birthday was last week and I got two of my sisters to go in together to get me a subscription to "Slow" magazine and the timing couldn't be more perfect it arrived on my actual birthday. I too like that there are more interesting magazines out there than the gossip magazines however that doesn't't stop me reading all the gossip magazine headlines while passing the newsagent.

In fact, after the first talk I ever went to I walked straight out and joined a community garden which has given me great pleasure. With people like Morag being featured in PIP I believe that this could be a magazine well worth investigating. Thank you for sharing it with us Rhonda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
