Dear Ladies Home Journal

May 19, 2020

Rant:

Dear Ladies Home Journal,  On your May 2014 cover feature: How To Look Amazing At 30, 40, 50,  you stop at age 50.  Why?   I’m taking a guess here, but I bet your readership doesn’t end with 50 year old women.  There is a large segment of the population that consists of 60, 70, 80 and, yes, even 90 year old women, who want tips on how to look and feel amazing. Don’t ignore us.

How to Look Amazing…

 

Rave:

Dear Pamela,
Thank you for writing to us about the May 2014 issue, though we are so sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the magazine.
Since we reach so many different women across the country, we try our best to represent as much as our readership as possible in the pages of the magazine (though it is a challenge sometimes). We don’t want our 60+ readers to feel under served in any way, so thank you for writing to us with your concerns. We will share your feedback with the Editors here, and hope you’ll be happier with future issues of the magazine. We truly value your opinion.
Sincerely,
Reader Services
Ladies’ Home Journal​

 

 Attitude:

I’m happy Ladies Home Journal acknowledged my note.  We will see if  I will “be happier with future issues of the magazine”‘. Whatever ‘looking amazing’ is to a person 50 or older, I say, why not!

This is one of the reasons I started this blog:  Awareness that there is a vital, energetic, enthusiastic segment of the population that has not and will not disappear.

You know what I think?  I need to send the link below to as many magazines that refer to age, beauty tips, aging, etc.  and tell them to please watch it until the end!  But, before I do, would you watch it and tell me if you agree?
