Signs of old age setting in?

Yesterday, while perusing the many fluffy girly magazines at Borders, I was paging through the latest issue of Cosmo.

(side note, I have a rant in the works about my annoyance at what I call “Cosmo-speak.” look for it soon.)

I stopped whatever I was reading, looked at Jen and said “Is the readership for this magazine getting younger, or are we just getting old?”

Does anyone else feel this way? Has it changed? I remember my mom reading Cosmo when I was young, and she was around my age at the time. But I feel positively ancient when reading Cosmo. Where’s the magazine for the single gal in her (ahem) 30s?

I mean, I know Cosmo still tries to reach me, but early 20s to early 30s is just way too far of a spread. I have little in common with the just-out-of-college girls.

There’s Redbook, but Redbook is very much for the married-but-still-flirty and fabulous set.

So where’s my magazine? I’m out here, publishing world. Someone speak to me!
