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.

MAXIM
You want to hate it. It's like Cosmo for men. It makes you all look as dumb as most women
have always believed you to be. But the truth of the matter is, Maxim is a great magazine.It's trash, and it
speaks to the troglodyte in us all. It's funny, and peurile. Everyone wants big tittied girls in too tight shirts
in the center spread, especially Jill.
The sex articles are How-To's that are usually written or reviewed by girls,
and are actually pretty informative. The columns are very very funny. Jill read Maxim cover to cover, and then
begged her male friends (who are all loathe to admit that they read this junk) for more copies. What can I say?
It's a great little read, super glossy and thick, just the way I like it.
Jill gives MAXIM a Moccacinno.
DETAILS
Jill remembers back in the day when DETAILS was an edgy publication that featured great
musicians, great clothes, and fabulous layout. It wasn't a boys mag back then, but a cultural commentary that
was hip and slick. Now, sadly, it has to compete with the likes of Stuff, FHM, and Maxim, and while it's certainly
classier, boasts better photography and design, it's become, despite it's scantily clad cover models, a little
stuffy when stacked against the other boys magazines. Or perhaps that's just because it doesn't target the slack
jawed frat boy crowd.
Still pretty to look at, but not so much fun to read, Jill worries that DETAILS might not be
able to keep up with the younger boys.
Jill gives DETAILS a Moccacinno, just for the fond memories.
