Such a nice list...One question though..I'm coming to sweden to go to Arvika festivalen and I was wondering..does "normal" shops/supermarkets sell for example modette? (Wasn't that the new fashion magazine..) And also, later I'm visiting Göteborg,it must have a place where I can get Pop, Another Magazine etc...right?!

 

[kissmesweet]

Ahhh, I bought 10 more magazines.

 

[Gold Star]

^ what did you buy?

I might go crazy shopping for magazines soon
yay I love this time of the month!

 

[indie]

Oh dear kissmesweet! I wish I did too..I've bought three very nice ones this month and my mom gave me some...Hmm, I guess from now on I won't buy magazines all of the same time, it feels nicer and not so naughty to buy them in every few days...

 

[notmanons]

I need my outrageous magazine fix

 

[Candy sweety]

I m addicted too I need help

 

[Amelia]

I used to spend a lot of money on cosmetics when I was younger... now I can't afford it because I buy magazines ALL THE TIME, I have nothing left every single month and I must borrow money...

I manage to control what i buy when it comes to recent publications... it's generally Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, Numéro, Muse, i-D and anything else (vogue us, uk, W, Flair, Dazed&confused...) when i like the cover/ an ed / eugenia is in it... the good thing is i sometimes send my parents to get me the mags and then "forget" to give them the money back but what's killing me is that evil thing called EBAY I've spent $150 this WEEK... i'm in a period where i can afford it, but when i look backward i think it's stupid to spend hundreds of dollars on magazines every year... yet i do it again and again and again

wow someone who has a bigger problem than i do

Are they all back issues ? and do you collect mags, or are there some that you own that you might want to sell someday ?

ETA: i've JUST realized the numbers are the prices, not quantities i feel better for you

 

[Amelia]

one more thing... I love Italy so much, but not just for the atmosphere as people around me know... everytime I go there, I don't eat, but buy magazines... I adore Italian mags so much! Not only Vogue, I treat it as a basic, but also Muse, Flair, Velvet, Elle, A,... I want them all now! Buying mags in Poland is not the same... they have a Polish price and they don't taste as good as abroad

 

[indie]

taben I know how you feel...I've literally spent thousands on magazines in past 3-4 years...I feel so stupid but then again I haven't spent my money inhaling poison (on cigs) or drinking it away or eating McDonalds so I guess it's alright. This is a hobby, among others. Anyway, I've been really vicious this month and I also bought a book about magazines, it was expensive but I'm so waiting forward to reading it.

Amelia, I love buyin magazines abroad!!! I was in sweden and got some swedish magazines and also Jalouse which I can't get from Finland. I didn't get the chance to visit a real book store, but luckily grocerie stores had nice selection too. One strange thing I noticed, some of the swedish prices were higher than Finnish ones, and they're really high. Only 1-2 euros though, I guess it has something to do with taxes.

I'm amazed looking at this thread. I barely buy a magazine every six months. I'm too cheap!

 

[*Bianca*]

^Hah! Same.

I was addicted when I was like 13-14 and drove my parents completely crazy with all my magazines, but now I would say on average I'd only buy one magazine every other month, if that.

The good mags are so ridiculously overpriced where I live, as a student, there is no way I can afford to indulge in them. Thank God for TFS!

 

[Handbag Queen]

I've got it really bad...I buy them all and also subscribe to the ones I buy! I find that they come out on the news-stand far quicker than I receive them in my mail box (sometimes there is a two week difference).

 

[tadda89]

I have a problem with buying to many magazines..... I admit it. Im aware of my problem haha.

 

[Boomer]

^^ I..I...I got rid of 5 years of Vogue magazines today!!! WWWAAAAHHHH!!!

(I may be moving soon and it would cost a fortune to ship them...but...I felt terrible...this just is not right!!!) But I bet I start buying more as soon as I get settled!!!

 

[zembla]

I have a problem with saving magazines...they're piled up everywhere...I can't bear to get rid of some of them...but I'll have to...poo...

 

[taben]

errrr if anyone wanna get rid of their Vogue Italia, Numéro, Rebel or Gloss magazines, let me know first as i'm desperatly looking for some issues

 

[notmanons]

I only have about 30 magazines, that's not many.
