OK, I've only looked at a couple issues, but it seems like all "buy this $300 cardboard box, and your crap will be transformed!" and "how to prepare for your trip to Nice this year: step one, fly first class."
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"how to prepare for your trip to Nice this year: step one, fly first class."
Well, doy.

Because books.
I like Real Simple because it's so clean. Really spare design, easy on the eyes, and good recipes. Also, organization porn! If you're into that.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Really spare design, easy on the eyes
Oh god, I *hate* Real Simple's design. Their random-ass use of negative space makes me want to roll the magazine up and use it to beat the crap out of their layout department. It's friggin' unreadable.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
But the magazine I miss most of all is the dear, departed Mode.
I loved that magazine. I miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm with Amy. It's not as budget as I'm going to assume a magazine with budget in the title is. However when they pick a "best for your money" it wasn't usually too much money.
And I like the negative space.
My main problem was that it was targeted towards women. Not sure why that was bothering me at the time.
Good god. I'm obsessing over every ad with food in it. And I should really get up and get my next nasty-assed "juice".

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I miss the GQ of the 80s, when it was by gay men for gay men, and featured fashions, travel destinations, lifestyle tips, and models that represented what I would have liked my life to be like.
Anorexic scowling yuppies drinking Stolichnaya Elit who wear corset-tight sweater vests and no socks while being dry humped by strippers in velvet-roped after hours clubs will not be influencing me to buy anything except a different magazine.

It doesn't bother me (but I like to pick Glamour now and then), or Stephen, since he's the one who actually likes the recipes. And aside from the kind of anal tips (or useless filler articles) on spot-cleaning every fabric under the sun or whatever, I like their approach to the fashion stuff. Good basics, different price ranges, all that.
It's actually the only magazine I regularly pick up anymore.

For some reason them talking about the best lipstick bothers me. Not that I don't want to know...
I'm watching Real Genius and I'm bored. Am I doing it wrong?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
French question!
I looked up "now" in my online English-French dictionary, but I can't tell which of the several words it lists is right for my scene. I need it in the sense of a signal or command. A group of men have been waiting to do something, and their leader says, "Now!" Only in French.
