ALL ABOUT ADS! Yes, the All About franchise certainly is voluminous! This is volume FIVE issue two! There are magazine sections like ALL ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS, ALL ABOUT GUYS, and ALL ABOUT FITNESS, it's just an all-around all-about explosion!

I learned a lot from this issue. Tyra Bank's pushing milk. Children's International advertises in teen magazines. The Backstreet ... Backstreet Boys! are pushing milk. You can buy a GIANT SIZE JEWELRY COLLECTION for only ninety-nine cents ("A $12 value at those expensive mall stores!"). Hanson's pushing milk. There is a kid'scelebrity cruise that is advertised as being "Rock & Roll On Water" (another few nails in the coffin of R&R) but the word "kids" never appears on the print ad. And all the money goes to Recording Artists, Actors, & Atheletes Against Drunk Driving (???). Joshua Jackson's pushing milk. I derived my beauty numerology number (1) which apparently means that I've got "major attitude! ... Wanna know what's hot? Body paints. Check out the Urban Decay Body Paint Kit..." will do, disembodied beauty numerology journalist!

There is one keen idea in the table of contents - they have a picture of the magazine (much like this one!), and arrows pointing to each bit of writing have the designated page numbers shown. I would expect to see this trend blossoming, much like a young teenager learning all about ... ADS!
