Vanity Fair

We were at Borders the other night picking up a book and I couldn't help but glance through the magazine aisles. I'm always on the lookout for an article about "How to Photograph Your Dog" or "Montana Farmers Howling Over Wolves", but no such stories this month.

What I did see however were a lot of magazines appealing to our vanity. One in particular struck me as an extreme call to narcissism - Glutes. An entire magazine about the ass? I didn't look at the content of the magazine too closely, but I can't imagine they've got 60 pages dedicated to the booty. How much can you write about two cheeks and a crack?

Glutes is so specific it got me to thinking of other targeted periodicals that could be popular with certain elements of our society. Below are three ideas I came up with. See if you can think up a few of your own and lets compare notes. Maybe there's a buck to be made!

1. Pimples - monthly magazine for teenagers - How to Get Rid of Acne, Most Embarrassing Zit Ever, Mothers Who Love to Pop Pimples, etc.


2. Bunions - bi-monthly periodical for seniors - The Real Reason Why Walmart Won't Sell You Mixed Shoe Sizes, I Had a Date Until He Saw My Bunion, Do Bunions Only Grow on My Feet?, etc.


3. Pubic Hair - quarterly review for porn industry - Bald Isn't Beautiful: Porn Queen Fined for Growing Out Hair, Long Dong Silver Goes Grey, Clairol Announces New Line of Crotch Curlers, etc.
