Fifty Shades Magazine Is Ridiculously Expensive, So Whatever You Do, Don’t Buy It


Magazines have been trouble for a while, so it’s difficult to try to understand why anyone in their right mind would create a Fifty Shades mag and sell it for $6.99. If we’ve learned anything from E.L. James’s explosive series though, it’s that women cannot help themselves when it comes to troubled wealthy entrepreneur Christian Grey, and if they’re willing to buy “Fifty Shades” themed bed sheets, they’re probably just as happy to purchase a glossy publication in its honor.

Fifty Shades … of American Women Who Love the Book & Live the Life is essentially Cosmo with a “Fifty Shades” spin on it. The mag cover has headlines such as, “Release your inner goddess,” a reference to novel main character Anastasia Steele’s incredibly lame favorite description, “Sex whisperer,” “Sexy scavenger hunts,” “Naughty book clubs,” and “20 books even steamier than ‘Shades.’”

Sounds like a party to us, but we can of course get all of the above online, so our suggestion is to save yourself some money and stick to the Internet for all-things “Fifty Shades.”

    Laura: You should be writing about the media and Christopher and Rothman should be writing about spank books.

    Feel free to suggest this at your next editorial meeting.
