I just LOVE EVERYTHING you have put into this November 2008 issue! I was beginning to loose faith in your fashion choices. The clothes in the past were just not my style. Then there was that WAY TOO skinny model you had on the cover several months ago. I was about to cancel our subscription. I made sure my 5 year old daughter never sees such scary things .
Thank you for bringing back elegance, style and reality to your pages.
