49 Salon City

When is a Premiere Issue not? "This is our premiere issue. We've actually been sold on newsstands in Hollywood for six years—but now we're coming to you in an all-new look with an even sharper editorial focus. To us, it is a premiere issue in more ways than one." So when you open it, the table of contents page says Volume 7, issue 1, which ought to confuse the cataloguers. The subscription page says, "Salon City attracts a unique audience of over a million influential readers. . . its mission is to celebrate beauty, truth and goodness by publishing stories that elevate the image of people everywhere.


What's new in truth and goodness?

metallic shoes made from recycled tin cans

pink, purple, yellow, orange, blue-violet eye shadow

Parfum bottle shaped like a woman--rum essence, vanilla orchid, bourbon, etc.

Stars donating to amfAR--their own portraits

Sara Paxton, 18, who's not afraid of challenges, is hot and down to earth, of course

The next top model

How to look natural with blushes, moisturizers, sunscreen, hair extensions. . .

Confessions of various someones who moved to the South

including Jaime Pressly, the girl on the cover, who was born in NC, is pregnant and unmarried as of press time, but known as a savvy businesswoman who knows who she is (I don't)

Whew! Did we need another vacuous woman's magazine on face, fashion and frivolity?

48 Healthy Life

is dedicted to providing the reader in central Ohio "with relevant information about fitness, beauty and medicine" according to publisher/editor-in-chief Jane W. Peters. The first issue was a freebie in April and I personally know the handsome young doctor on the cover. The first article "Botox; the fountain of youth" carries her by-line. Dr. Soto is an internist with a specialty in "anti-aging medicine and cosmetic treatments." She also is a consultant for Sinclair Broadcasting and you can often see her during the Tuesday evening news. This is followed by an article on healthy eating in restaurants, how to slow down the aging look with proper skin care and chemical peels, how to experience "extreme pampering" at a spa, the importance of daily consistent exercise, and an article on early onset Alzheimer's Disease. It's very thin on content and advertising, but with the right marketers, it has a focus in an area with a lot of interest.
