ABSTRACT
What constitutes entertainment is even more varied. It might be joky pictures of celebrities (More!), pin-ups of bare-breasted girls (Front, Loaded, GQ) or of red-breasted mergansers (Birds, BBC Wildlife), profile articles about politicians (New Statesman) or sportsmen (Shoot), romantic fiction (The People’s Friend), quizzes, horoscopes, personal columns or real-life stories of the ‘My best friend stole my husband so I bedded hers’ variety (That’s Life!). Sometimes reading magazines even becomes a group activity when friends choose to chat together about what they’ve read.
