  response to  Graydon Carter and GOOD magazine's post The 51 Best* Magazines Ever

  This is a guy list

  Dorothy Kalins's Metropolitan Home of the mid-1980s was not only powerful in breaking through stereotypes of design and "home fashion," she also led her industry in AIDS-awareness, pulled no punches about what a "home" really is (filled with friends, good food, love --without the "Good Housekeeping" palaver). The issues she produced hit the yuppies at precisely the right spot at the right time -- and yet, she never lost her rooted honesty, or her willingness to take risks on new talent.

  response to  melb's post MADEMOISELLE

  MLLE was the only female brain in the '50s

  I'm 63 -- Mademoiselle and Glamour were the brains/beauty combo of my high school and early college years ... Mlle was smart, honest, and had an attitude about women (of all ages) unmatched for decades (if ever) for its rejection of what I was later to learn was the ADR-pitch of women's magazines editorial (Average Dumb Reader).

  You are absolutely correct in objecting to its absence from this list.
