Goodbye fake beauty like Ashlee Simpson, hello real beauty like Maggie Gyllenhaal! Check out an excerpt from the Media and Advertising section in today's New York Times:
'Ashlee Simpson appeared on the July cover of Marie Claire magazine extolling the virtues of appreciating one’s body as it is — then she had a nose job.
Marie Claire readers erupted in fury at what they said was Ms. Simpson's hypocrisy and the magazine's "cluelessness."
They wrote 1,000 letters in protest to the magazine, according to Joanna Coles, the new editor of the magazine. And she agreed with them.In the first issue (due Aug. 15) over which she exercises full editorial control, Ms. Coles gives expanded space in the letters column to readers to vent against Ms. Simpson. Ms. Coles adds in a note: "We're dazed and confused — and disappointed — by her choice, too!"'
Anyway, this is an awesome move on MarieClaire's part. It's not every day that a women's mag openly criticise a celebrity. The publication is taking a new direction under Joanna's control geared towards " confident, professional women."
Maggie Gyllenhaal is featured in the first issue under full control of the magazine’s new editor. If you think this is a good direction for women's mags, go out there and pick this issue up!
