Content: On one hand, I like this magazine. I appreciate the interviews for the most part (Amy Sedaris), and I love the retro articles with feminist takes, like the one they did on airline stewardesses. They seem pretty jazzed about women in music, so there are reviews every issue. The mag is littered with plenty of dense, blurbish "reporting" on varied subjects, keeping the reader interested and moving along. On the other hand...I don't feel like the mag "applies to" my age group; though it tries to keep everyone happy, their main demographic is obviously young women in their 20's. And I have read too many incorrect, flip, trying-to-be-oh-so-young-and-hip and just plain not-well-thought-out responses from Betty Dodson, their resident sexpert. Additionally, I think a magazine like this should avoid politics altogether. It's obviously liberal, considering the recent article on Obama's wife.
I don't love it, I don't hate it. I'll just read it at the library or newsstand.

Content: I don't want to be too wordy, so I'll just leave this review with a few reasons why I love BUST. First, I find it an uplifting and supportive magazine with articles that don't condemn conservative women with liberal political heretics. The magazine is more focused on creating a female support network than to aimlessly attack our patriarchal society. In that way, I actually find it a more effective means of literature in promoting female empowerment and feminism! Yee-haw!
Summary: Mmm mmm good

Content: Third wave feminism is often summed up be referencing this classic mag. It's a fun and intelligent read, and a genuinely viable alternative to the fluff generally marketed towards women.

Content: I started reading Bust when i was 16 and have been reading it for the past four years. Most magazines that were marketed towards my age bracket (17, Cosmogirl) felt so stupid and vapid, i mean, who really cares about cover up and what he is thinking? I wanted something...smarter...and funnier. And i found Bust! It's funny, b/c its one of the few magazines that has managed to still be engaging and entertaining and so awesome, even as i age. Not only that, its talks about politics and women based issues in a way that is humorous and not overly angry or preachy. And it has fashion! It's got fluff and substance and i like that.
