Jill's Zine Reviews
|
Jills Rating System:
| Nescafe................ | Don't bother. Not even worth spilling your latte on.
|
| House Blend......... | Run of the mill. Slightly interesting, neither fantastic nor crappy.
|
| Moccacinno........... | Fluffy eye candy. Yummy, clever and achingly hip.
|
| Espresso.............. | Beautifully put together. Sweet, to the point, not stuffed with superfluous ads and razor
thin bimbos. Informative and relevant.

Jill is very poor right now and hasn't had a chance to buy a magazine in
a while. Here are a few random samples taken from the doctor's office:
Maclean's Magazine
Is this all we have in the way of news in this country? This TIME magazine rip-off is dull, poorly laid-out,
and tiring to read. And it's dated 1997. Get with the program fellas.
Jill gives Maclean's Magazine a Nescafe.
chatelaine
Again, isn't there anything decent to read in Canada? Is this it for fashion and women's lifestyles?
I don't want to wear a sweater and bake salmon. I don't. You can't make me. This one from 1998, a
little dog eared and worn. Recipe for tuna stroganoff punched out of page 104. This makes Jill sad.
Not that she would ever cook , but the defacement of waiting room property-tsk tsk.
What is the world coming to?

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
Always pretty, and always dull. I really want to want to read the articles. But who am I
kidding? Also, this issue had no breasts at all. Nary a one, unless you count the multiple dugs of a mama Alsatian,
which Jill, for one, does not.

Family Circle
This one scares Jill. Somewhere within the pages of this magazine is a hidden message
from Jill's mom, exhorting her to give up her demon ways and go to church. Also, many recipes for bizarre
dishes like ‘meat and potatoes' and ‘macaroni and cheese.' Macrame, knitting, and tips for a strange and
deadly ritual known as ‘household cleaning.' Jill carefully hid this magazine at the bottom of the stack,
away from the innocent eyes of children, and began perusing a pile of Planned Parenthood pamphlets with much relief.
