With depictions of famous people in sexy poses, wearing provocative clothing, this magazine makes no pre-conceptions to be censored. Its raw, street-lit style is perfect for the average urban teenager. Its no-holds-bar attitude aims to reach teens where they are coming from. The articles are relatively well written, they act as tools to access gossip. I do not necessarily think that the messages that are conveyed in this magazine are overtly positive, however I can see their appeal.
This magazine holds very little appeal for me, however, I watched several teenage girls at the public library gather around one of these mags. They were reading and giggling about something that they were looking at.
