Here we go with the first beauty issue–O Magazine April 2006. As Oprah explains in the “Here We Go!” column, the question they want you to answer is, “Do you like the way you look?” I think they want you to get to, “Yes, I do.” After all, this magazine is about accepting yourself.
But if you don’t like your appearance, don’t look to the calendar for help. Yes, the calendar is still in the issue, but instead of giving you tasks to do throughout the month, there are just self-affirmations riddled among the quotes. It’s a little Stuart Smalley, with things like “Lotions and potions are just frosting on the cake. If you don’t feel gorgeous in your soul, that’s where your makeover should begin.” OK, so now what, geniuses?
So far, I’m not enthralled with the issue. I wonder if that’s why it took them about seven years to tackle the topic.
