Mag-nificent

I've always wanted to be the kind of girl that subscribes to Vogue and reads it from cover to cover. I'm sure that sounds snooty and pretentious but it's just always been one of those things for me. When I still lived at home I had a subscription to TeenVogue that I looked forward to getting every month. My sweet Daddy always renewed it for me and continued to even after I was no longer a teen or lived at home. Finally, the magazines stopped coming one day and I assumed he realized his little girl no longer needed a teen magazine. This happened years ago and I never have bought another subscription to a magazine. Mostly because I was broke and my money needed to go elsewhere. I picked up magazines here and there when I could but not very often. So today while doing my morning troll of my favorite websites I saw an ad for a W magazine, $12 for a year's subscription! Leaping lizards, Batman!!! For $12 I can get mail again that isn't just bills or clothes catalogs! There's no way I was passing that up. The photography is always gorgeous and I deserve a little monthly fun mail. So, I put in my credit card info and decide to splurge and get 2 years for $24, hit checkout and almost cried. There was a button to add 1 year of Vogue to my order for $15. While this was an extremely happy moment. it was a little sad too. Had the magazine price drastically gone down in the past few years or did I really not have 2 nickels to rub together back then? Needless to say, I added it. Hell, yeah! I'm going to get two presents in the mail each month! Then I saw it. Vanity Fair, 1 year, $15. Now, I've never been that big of a a Vanity Fair reader. I've probably only bought two or so editions. But the cover they were using for the advertisement was a Gaga one. Paging Hailey's weakness! Party of one fabulous diva named Lady Gaga. I couldn't resist. $54 later, I'm getting 3 magazines a month and I couldn't be happier. :)

My friends and I could've made some serious collages back in the day with these babies!
