Turning from body image articles these magazines offer relationship fixes that range from molding your man into the person you want to promises of a better sex life. Hundreds of magazines offering the same tripe to women each month. Rarely do average women adorn the covers of these magazines. There are a few exceptions to that rule but not many.
Enter Brendan McGinley who spoofed a women's magazine cover back in 2010.
According to a Huffington Post article, "McGinley's parody cover features all-caps bold headlines like "Overanalyzing" and "The Shame & Guilt Issue," taking a not-so-subtle swipe at "trashy" women's magazines focused on sex and relationships.
The parody offers articles titled, 'Tone Your Butt~Until You Are Hot Enough To Be Offended When Guys Appreciate It', 'Sex, Your Doing It Wrong, Damnit', 'Mediocre Sex Now~3, 295,761 Tips', 'Sexy Touch~Tickle His Prostrate With An Egg Beater' and the ever popular 'Sex, No Joke~You Need It So Bad You'd Blow A Baboon'.
I am particularly fond of the article that is attached to the magazine covers picture. 'Gaze Upon The Epic Prow Of Christina Hendricks~The Woman Your Boyfriend Masturbates To'.
I appreciate good parody and this is an excellent example.
All these magazines prey on woman who want to look like the image being sold by fashion designers with there perfect little flawless models. Many woman, in their desire to have the lifestyle described by these published rags, pour millions of dollars into these magazines coffers.
In my opinion it is the flaws in a woman's look that make her interesting. Magazine cover perfection is a product of someones desire to sell magazines to a sometimes desperate female public and the photographer's ability to air brush.
My advice is to look in the mirror, see the beauty that is you, and save the money that you have been spending on these women's magazines to use on a nice vacation.
Oh! One more piece of advice. Do not come near me with an egg beater, lol.
