If I could only have one magazine it would be Vogue, and this is why:

Vogue is a bible for anyone who prefers a Ford suite to a Ford Focus. No longer do I see it as a magazine but a lifestyle. The interviews, memoirs, photo essays and beauty tips all influence me and the way I live my life. The interviews allow me to glimpse into the life of the current star letting me get behind the scenes of a music tour or film set.

Memoir is a writing style that consumes many of my days, the most excitingly intrusive of all writing styles. Not only is the fashion manual full of text but fantasy filling photographs. The likes of Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz and Nick Knight are just a few of my favourites that fill its pages, a picture speaks a thousand words a great space saver but a reality in Vogue. British Vogue December 2008 where fashion showed how it is truly a marvellous medicine where Tim Burton, my favourite director, was placed into the magical mind of Roald Dahl whose works have inspired a whole generation a perfect setting for avant-garde fashion. The use of electric colours and fantastic fur was a beautiful collection of images that would only be present in Vogue.

Beauty and style tips are the essential accessories for any magazine. Trying to perfect my skin or know which shampoo to buy allows me to get a slice of beauty pie. Without Vogue I would not know how and when to exfoliate, or the dressing sins: thou shall not wear brown with black! Vogue is full of glamorous advertisements from a variation of fashion houses, these allow you to analyze and judge trends and collections for yourself. The adverts in Vogue give you more, fragrances are the drug for many chic shoppers, Vogue gives you a little taste of the very Guilty Gucci, let you find the one with Dolce & Gabbana and force you to j’adore Doir. These testers would easily make you feel more desert pharaoh then shipwreck survivor.

Vogue has become a monthly treat always accompanied with the anticipation to read the editors letter and see who will be the cover girl. I could not imagine not having it every month.
