the bad

Magazines in Argentina are generally bad.  They are overpriced, you usually cannot flip through them because it´s pretty much forbidden to even touch one at a quiosco if you are not going to buy it, and more often than not they are covered in plastic just to make sure that you cannot get a sneak peek at what you are paying for.  Last week I bought the magazine DD, an interiors magazine.  It cost me 20 pesos and I honestly think if you gave me a week I could put together a better spread that is more innovative and isn´t just advertising.  I don´t want to poo all over every magazine they have here, because some are quite good.  My favourite is Barzon, which features art, culture, lifestyle, fashion and interiors in an innovative way.  It does cost 32 pesos though, which limits my desire to purchase it often.  In general however, the quality of magazines available in Argentina upsets me.  DD magazine, please take a look at Australian Inside Out or Vogue Living and pull yourself together.
