Topics and Themes:
I think Cleo is endeavouring to avoid publishing cliched relationship articles. It appears much more concerned with helping readers become upwardly mobile, cultured, cool, well-adjusted chicks ("Do-ahead Dishes" for a dinner party, "Future Cool. Trends Waiting to Happen", "Pretty in Ink" about illustrators and "Behind the Lens" about photographers, "Lady Love: What You Can Learn From Your Girl Crush").
