Offbeat and anecdotal.
Offbeat and anecdotal.
Experts and statistics are rarely, if ever, used. Many articles are monologues or are interviews with either a question-and-answer or "as told to" format, with one long quotation from the subject. There are some product reviews (comparing eight soups in one example), brief lists and a tongue-in-cheek how-to article. There are no breakout boxes in sight.

30 or so. Phew!!

Stopping by from LBS...I also have never heard of it, but then I thought it might have to do with me being in California. Not Australia. And now I just want to plan a trip there totally unrelated to the magazine. This is just how my mind works :)

Welcome Angie, Hutch and scrapwordsmom! I'm loving Lady Bloggers for putting me in touch with so many talented blog-hers worldwide.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me here. Frankie is not huge in Australia, but it's popular with the arty/impossibly cool set. I thought it was too cool for me until I read it and realised it's really fun, inspiring and actually accessible.
Highly recommended if you can lay hands on a copy. : )
As I look at my totally messy desk I am thinking a lot of these tips could come in handy LOL.
