and BerlinRocks, too!

I don't have that much you know...
but MMA, Faith, ASF must have plenty... and i'm sure there are other people with tons, too... but they don't show...

I'm counting right now...

 

[BerlinRocks]

I counted quickly and not everything I was tired of saying "1;2;3;4..."
I have btw 400-500 magazines... I counted some art magazines I kept (10-20)...
actually this is not really the amount of magazines I have that scared me but the money spent on this....
if I count 5€ for a magazine that makes 2000-2500€... that's ab. insane!!!!
I have to stop...
my bedroom is only a bookstore (I didn't count my books... but I have approx. 150-250 books, too...)
that's ab. INSANE!!!!!!

 

[Ceptuouse]

i have about 400 but they're only from 2006 (apart from about 20) because i had loads from 2000-2004/5 but threw them out when i moved house...

i need to use my money on other things now...unless its a very good issue

 

[BerlinRocks]

i need to use my money on other things now...

agree with you...

but c'mone JR1, 400 magazines only on 2006-2007... you're a magazine freak...
(sorry with the smileys...)

 

[Ceptuouse]

haha but some i dont pay for...for example, i get lots of airfrance magazines (which are free!) from airport...and they're very good, do the best haute couture editorials ever!! plus i got a bunch vogue nippons and other magazines from colette for 1 euro each in sale...

my best magazines i still have to scan...80s/90s chanel magazines (dont know if they do them anymore?) lots of claudia!

Yes, I have a shameful four-figure amount that is spread over several houses. These days, I only keep intact the issues I like the most, and the rest I dissect to file away in clippings folders.

FOUR FIGURE?

Wow.

 

[CharmingNicky]

I have 200-400 magazines maybe. I love magazines!!

 

[Amelia]

MMA will definitely have a library of magazines...

I actually started seriously collecting magazines last year, but I don't have that much, about 80, I don't understand most of them

 

[tigerrouge]

In my defense, I did start buying magazines in 1990, so it's taken me about 17 years to accumulate that many...

 

[notmanons]

MMA!!! This thread was made for you!

[city girl]

-Nearly every Vogue Australia since 2005 (36 or so)
-RUSSH (12)
-American Teen Vogue (my weakness ) (15-20)
-Oyster Magazine (1). I should really buy this more
-A few Nylons
-Paris Vogue (the Kate Moss issue) + 5 other issues
-UK Vogue (2005 with Gisele)
-About 20 Australian Rolling Stone magazines, and a few Spin's and NME's from when music was my whole life

 

[tigerrouge]

My collection mostly consists of Vogue (UK, US, French German, Italian and Spanish), Elle (UK, US with some French), US Bazaar, W & Allure, UK Harper's & Queen, i-D & The Face. Plus oddities like Frank (remember Frank?) and other lesser mags. I'd actually sell a lot of them, but I never get round to putting them on ebay, so most of the older magazines simply sit around in an outhouse in piles taller than a person. I honestly think my father might die from a heart attack trying to move some of them.

My newer ones accumulate in the house I currently live in, in ordered piles along one wall. I live by myself, so I can be selfishly crazy with my personal space, and turn one room into a magazine library.

And it's quite strange, because in the house, I don't have much modern technology; no internet connection, never mind a scanner - actually, I don't even have a remote control for my TV - so there's this wealth of information sitting there that's not being shared with the outside world.

i buy around 10/15 magazines a month ,but im lucky because a friend of mine works in a bookstore and im able to get the magazines cheaper.But to answer the question i have atleast around the 150/200 magazines.Depending on the cover and if its an interesting issue.
obsessions:
*NUMERO (frenchheart:
*Italian vogue/French vogue
*Elle/Marieclaire /Glamour (dutch version) and the italian!
*Nylon ( if its a good cover,so i havent bought any lately(
* POP/I-D or dazed&confused depending on my money!
* US Bazaar
unfortunatly i dont have a scanner and im not a computewhiz!!
i only have 3 US vogue covers and i only going to buy the september cover for the ads!

[violet100]

Hmm...I started collecting fashion magazines when I was 10 years old and since I'm considerably older now I imagine that I have over the years owned several thousand. I've sold many and torn many apart...these days I just keep the ones I really "need". I still must have a couple of thousand of them in different areas of my house.

 

[Miss Dalloway]
