Dear Friends,
Today I realise how grateful I am for magazines. It sounds a bit frivolous; however given that it still is a lucrative industry it’s worth mentioning. I personally contribute a mini fortune to its sustainability. I love the glossy, colourful images of perfection. My first experience with print was at the age of four (back then we were allowed to develop naturally!) One day, my uncle, God bless his soul, presented me with two pop-up books; The Little Red Riding Hood and The Sleeping Beauty. They both had the most beautiful, shiny illustrations. I believe my first two books contributed to my love of flipping through magazines, the colour red and romance! It has also played a hand in my inability to “listen” and follow instructions! I have met very few fairy tale female “protagonists” who do as they are told. (I hear our great grandmother Eve, didn’t follow instructions very well either!)
While I’m waiting for my “Devil” or “Hero” to rescue me, I shall continue lounging (instead of twirling my thumbs) and browsing through another magazine or two.
Have a relaxing day everyone!
