I don't like this magazine. It often features "do good" articles and features about poor and abused women from third-world countries, but then contradicts itself. For example, in the latest issue I read, an article highly suggests fur as having its "comeback." Hello Marie Claire -- don't we already know how extremely cruel and heartless the fur industry is? If you hurt animals, who are weak and helpless, then don't expect that women, who are weak and helpless in our patriarchal-dominated societies, will find freedom and liberation! How stupid can you get?! I think Marie Claire is actually the type of magazine that appeals to narcissistic women who want to feel good about themselves by reading articles that supposedly have a "conscience," then these same women go out and buy furs, without thinking about the actual global impact that partaking of any type of cruelty against those weaker and helpless has as a whole. I will NEVER buy this magazine again!

Unlike Cosmo, Marie Claire is not only about how to please your man- it's actually written for women. Of course magazines like these are not literary masterpieces, but that's not why we read them. Marie Claire is great for reading on a plane, bus, train or anywhere else when you want something light and entertaining. the fashion tips are fun to read, the love/relationship advice is really aimed towards women's problems. of course there's the obligatory human interest piece which often seems out of place among pages of expensive clothing and mascara tips, but overall this is a great magazine.

I have just recently begun to read Marie Claire regularly, and I must say that it is refreshing compared to most other magazines. In the past I had to buy several magazines to cover what I wanted to know, but MC covers fashion (including both high priced items as well as items that a poor college kid can afford-a big plus since this is a large market for beauty mags) and it also covers important issues from around the world. Although I wish it had a little more on fitness and health it still keeps me coming back to the newsstand every month.

DO NOT BUY THIS MAGAZINE! FOR ANY PRICE, IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE. MARIE CLAIRE HAS HARASSED ME REPEATEDLY TO PAY FOR MY SUBSCRIPTION. IT WAS PAID FOR IN ADVANCE THRU AMAZON. I HAVE SENT THEM COPIES OF MY AMAZON RECEIPT TWICE. THEY ARE REPORTING ME TO A CREDIT AGENCY FOR NON-PAYMENT. AVOID THEM, AVOID THEM. THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS AND WILL FALSELY AND WITH MALICE DESTROY YOUR CREDIT RATING.

I recieve different magazines over the course of a year. i don't know why. It simply happens that way. Marie Claire is a pleasant surprise. I found in the first issue I read, a group of writers, editors and all involved with this magazine, not just writing about issues, but being proactive. Everyone on the street in NYC in bikinis and whatever each individual felt comfortable with, to bring awareness to skin cancer. Really cool! Each issue has write ups on a certain amount of relevant international and national news for women and other sexes too. they are adding the right amount of consciousness to an otherwise totally fashion magazine which also i have found surprisingly refreshing and fun. Ace Job Marie Claire staff!!!
