OK!

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN May 2002 INTRODUCTION OK I will admit the fact that I am a gossip. I love to know all the trivia about the people around me.

My usual first option in these cases is "Heat" magazine but one particularly week of frenzied magazine reading found me finishing that weeks issue and needing something else. I wandered up to my local newsagents and purused what was on offer. I don't like most traditional womens' magazines such as "Womans Own", "Bella" etc as I find these too "housewifey" and boring.
