Looks like a good and bright issue.

Dull as hell. It's just catalogue.

I've said this before, but what I don't like about the current incarnation of UK Bazaar is the sheer sexlessness of it. Sure, there's lots of elegance – but there's no sex whatsoever, as if style and sensuality cannot co-exist on the same page, or in the same person.

It doesn't even seem to be mentioned in articles as part of an adult woman's lifestyle.

It's as if this is the magazine for women who have grown older and wiser - but who have somehow become divorced from the sexual side of themselves, so instead they channel their physical energies into creating sophisticated gardens and admiring the finer details of expensive fashion.

But the expression of the physical self through fashion isn't limited to the ways in which younger people wear it. Yes, for an older woman to copy younger girls would seem wrong - but that's why you have a magazine like Bazaar, which can show you different ideas about how to integrate all aspects of your personality into your own style, outside of fads and disposable fashion.

Except it doesn't, because it has no idea how to factor sex into the style equation, so what use is this magazine to me? The older I become, the stronger my sense of all aspects of myself - then I look at this publication, which is supposed to speak to me, and it seemingly can't even mention sex? Every month, it's another beautiful, empty disappointment.
