March 23, 2007--Spring 07 issue of Blueprint

see, here's the thing. i really WANT to like this magazine, but every time i read it, i just DON'T. i bought this one as a treat to read in the airport on my trip to see my sister. i read it cover to cover and found.... pretty much nothing useful. there was an article on making jewelry and belts out of chains (bleh.), articles on booze (yuk), articles on makeup (yawn) and articles on "hey you should buy this." (yeah, right). i was mildly interested in their small apartment make-over, but since my house is currently LARGER than what I need, their tips weren't really anything I could use. It seems like it's written for people who are exactly like the editors of the magazine itself--young, relatively wealthy people, living in new york city. i still love the photography, the layout and the general eye-candy-ness of the mag, but i had surprisingly little problem putting it in the magazine exchange bin immediately after reading it. am i becoming a fuddy-duddy?
