This chapter critiques the waning relevance of women's magazines, exploring their patronizing mix of lifestyle and news topics. It advocates for more authentic representations of women's experiences, challenging the oversimplified narratives promoted by current publications.
A true champion of the sweaty yet charming premise, How To Lose A Guy takes all the mid-noughties rom-com tropes and rolls them into one. A woman's magazine! An advertising campaign! A bet! An article! Friends! We discuss Kate Hudson's comedic gifts, the death of the bubblegum romcom and whether women's magazines even deserve a place in the culture. Check out Elizabeth Sankey's documentary Romantic Comedy for more, or her music at Summer Camp
