Bust Magazine



Bust is a glossy magazine that looks and feels like a fashion magazine but also has substance and edge. It offers fashion advice, sex columns, interviews with celebrities, feature articles, recipes, short stories and DIY projects. While it is geared towards adults, it is also appropriate for older teenage girls. All articles are written from a feminist perspective, and the women showcased and interviewed are inspirational, empowered and beautiful in all shapes and sizes. While this magazine does do its share of product pushing, it won’t engender the same extent of feelings of inadequacies about your appearance. However, unless you are an expert crafter, expect to be intimidated by the multitude of difficult DIY projects. Also, no photographs next to the recipes? Disappointing.
