One day...<br /><br />I haven't touched a copy of Cleo since my early 20's and despise the messages it portrays today. Such a shame really when it was so ground-breaking and liberal to begin with.<br /><br />Big fan of Ita now too.

I certainly was enamoured with the workwear styles put together by Paper Giants costume designer, Nina Edwards - wonderful ideas on pepping up the modern day work wardrobe!<br /><br />I now want to read/learn more about Ita. Even just the other day when faced with a challenge, I did think to myself, "what would Ita do?" ;) <br />XBusiChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432506746005981363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-66562415684630369092011-04-20T21:03:13.335+10:002011-04-20T21:03:13.335+10:00Great review, I really like your perspective. I...Great review, I really like your perspective. I'm so in love with the show - I've been a staunch advocate of it to anyone who'll listen! I even 'channelled Ita' in my work attire yesterday. <br /><br />Until I saw the show I really didn't give Cleo or Cosmo (or Ita Buttrose) much credit for pushing a feminist agenda, particularly by virtue of their current incarnations (and Ita's preference for releasing books on etiquette, which seems awfully 50s housewife to me!), but I concede I was wrong. I felt inspired and humbled by the liberated women working on the magazine, and Ita's trailblazing and mentorship she provided to women. <br /><br />I don't really read magazines anymore, except for the occasional design mags, Frankie or Peppermint. I get excited finding and reading blogs instead!a girl musinghttp://www.agirlmusing.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-79078858502567133522011-04-20T11:41:16.386+10:002011-04-20T11:41:16.386+10:00It sounds like a great series and I'll definte...It sounds like a great series and I'll defintely be checking it out.Katiehttp://www.katiefoolery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-6667076483032111552011-04-19T23:50:35.490+10:002011-04-19T23:50:35.490+10:00Hey Carly,

I too fit the demographics, gave up on Cleo about 8 years ago, and only recently have realised that cosmo just doesn't cut it anymore, the articles oh how they are painful! Which is a shame because the fashion and beauty was always spot on for me. Nowadays I too subscribe to SHOP, and also the Weight Watchers magazine - its a perfect balance of fashion, beauty, health, food, lifestyle and inspiration!<br /><br />JustineJustinehttp://beavercity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-82540453218675602732011-04-19T22:58:53.481+10:002011-04-19T22:58:53.481+10:00I am going to watch this on Sunday :) Excited.

I find it trashy and completely irrelevant to me.
