Budget Living was awesome before The Man wrecked it.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Last week, at the bar, the bartender was complaining that her subscription to Jane was replaced with issues of Mademoiselle or something. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I agree entirely.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I hacked up most of my copies for cool images to use on CD covers, which I now bitterly regret. Had I known, I'd have treasured them just like I do my mint runs of the golden era Sassy and Spy.

I do love Ms. Magazine, though, got to say. Definitely not a magazine telling you to BUY BUY BUY and LOSE WEIGHT and GET A GUY!
It's much too serious for the kind of magazine you're talking about, though. I'd like a little frivolity and budget living in my non-gender-stereotyped magazine.

Allyson sounds like she's talking about a Bust/Budget Living mashup to me.

Man, I loved Sassy. *Before* Jane left, it should go without saying.
But the magazine I miss most of all is the dear, departed Mode. No other magazine for plus-size women who want actual fashion instead of muumuus comes close.
t edit This cover, more than anything I can think of, exemplifies MODE in its glory days: [link]

Oh, YES.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Budget Living sounds cool. Is it anything like Real Simple? I almost fell for that magazine.

You can get that upside down tomato one. You know what else you should have? Infomercial/product of the week--you know the sort of product. Nothing normal like air fresheners, but instead something like Shamwow! where it's like they're selling you a whole new technology that you just can't continue to live without.

Real Simple is infuriating. Budget Living was cool.
