MARIE - CLAIRE
I used to buy this magazine in my twenties, but then stopped. I now only read it at the hairdressers. This is why:
***WHAT DOES IT OFFER?***
Marie-Claire is a fashion magazine with special interest articles aimed at women. It's motto is "Fashion With Heart" and it is priced at £3.30. This month's issue (Jan) has 244 pages, plus a 32 page special about hair at the back (confusingly upside down).

She goes hard with the material and makes it her own, whilst not going too far from the original). It is a tune that I simply can?t see a single fault in and is bound to take you in immediately.
**Five Stars**
3. ?You Bring Me Joy?
Sampling a Barry White track that would eventually ...
