 It doesn't even deserve one star...total trash!! December 29, 2001

Isn't it ironic that a magazine such as US Vogue couldn't be anymore passe if it tried. This has to be the WORST fashion magazine out today. Everything from the covers to the editorials are mediocre at best. If you want a REAL fashion magazine, try Vogue Italia....much better than its ... American counterpart.

For me, the September issue of Vogue, with its 700 page issue, is more than eye candy. It's art. It's that simple. I no longer look at most of the fashion in the magazine, nor the models, as realistic, something that can ever transfer into my own life, nor would I want it to. It reminds me of trips to art museums where I can admire one painting half the afternoon, but it doesn't mean I want it hanging on my wall at home.
Vogue's photography is exquiste, pure art. The glossy pages, the vibrant, sometimes muted colors, seem to jump off the page. The images make my mind wander and explore. When I finally got over the ridiculous prices and the more ridiculously thin models with legs longer than I am tall, I was able to fully appreciate the artistry of the ads and fashion spreads. I find the ads are as engaging as the fashion spreads, which is a good thing, for the magazine is at least half ads.
Some of the articles are quite good as well. I scan the few society articles, and I've been surprised at the high number of well-written pieces that apply to the average world-wise woman. Cosmo readers most likely won't find much in Vogue, but I'd say women over 30, who are relatively sophisticated, will find articles geared toward them.
Overall, Vogue is a high end publication with excellent, artistic photographers and produces rather sweet eye candy with a good number of current, well-written non-fashion articles.

Vogue fantastic high fashion photos. If you love to look at beautiful clothing and shoes you need to look at Vogue. However, as other reviews have indicated, the articles are quite lacking. They are often flat without much substance on topics that are frankly not interesting. So, you get Vogue for the pictures. If your looking to ogle pretty clothes or for inspiration for an art project this is a great magazine, if you want something to read get something else.
Is there a magazine in there? Or just an ad section? December 1, 2001

I picked this up at the hair dresser's to read while I was waiting for the perm to do whatever it was that the perm does.... The cover said that there were some articles inside on "How to drive him wild in bed" and "6 ways to lose 10 Pounds today!! (And still go out tonight)". Whatever. Well, I never did find any of those articles, or any other writing on any topic, other than eyeliner, or tampon ads, or 'Buffy, the Vampire Slayer' or a ZILLION other advertisements. And this is a HUGE magazine, what 500 pages or something. I finally gave up and read the National Enquirer, which at least has articles and did tell me how to drive my dog wild outside tonight!!!At least it keeps the Postal Service in business.
Ew! What a Mean Magazine! December 6, 2003

I bought the latest issue of Vogue, because my favorite actress (Gwyneth Paltrow) was on the cover. I thought, Ick! What a girly wirly magazine. I like smelling the pages, though, and taking the samples. Sometimes I get papercuts!! What a stupid magazine it gives you paper cuts, no other mag. has done that to me. Don't buy it if you hate blood.. your fingers will be full when you flip to, like, the fifth page! It's a basically, Buy This Get This Free magazine. I flipped to the first page, cut up the book with my knife in 1067 pieces, (I counted) and fed it to my dog, Gumby, and my dog choked on the pieces! I'm sending a big, 30 page complaint letter that says these pages are chokable, a little baby could tear of a piece, plop it in his mouth and die! Come back home and find a dead baby in your crib. Oh well, no more smelly diapers to change! Would be the only good side of a dead baby. Not to mention, Gumby is now alive but slowly dying of Morencelucoius Voguelmagozolocus, a diseas where animals digest pages. Look it up, ask your mom, it's true. If you buy this magazine, ghosts will haunt you in your dreams, saying things like, You must die because you bought Vogue! It happend to me and I couldn't sleep for the past seventy three days. No joke, I counted. Anyway, now I hate Gwyneth, they made her sound so terrible and stuff, and now it's convinced me, even though it might not be true, and I seriously can't stand her! And what kind of name is Vogue! It's hard to pronounce, I think it's Vogoo so I asked the Magazine Store lady and she said something mumblish and I said, What! She yelled at me because I couldn't hear her, what a witch with a B instead of W. So now I call it Vogoo. Not my fault. They should make the front page say, It's pronounced: (Whatever it is) with those things or else people will stop buying it because it's way to hard to pronounce! I prefer Crayola Kids magazines and Kid Planet. Plus, every single word in Vogue is spelled wrong, I counted this special issue only I got, not you, and ever single word, (I checked in the dictionary) is wrong! This is how they spelt the word I: Eye. Am: Em. Vogue: Vugoe. What idiots! Anyway, get Kid Planet it's the best for all ages and Crayola Kids has fun crafts so buy it, buy it, buy it! Unless your poor stick your boring old, paper choking, weird smelling, ugly, typoed magazine. Bye!
