18 Jul Real Review #14
We just love Real Review! The essays are always fantastic, they deal with topics that represent our times, but in a completely unexpected way. They take unlikely subjects and connect them to current theories. Like the girlish giggle – and the concept it represents. The girlish giggle is not what is being written and talked about everywhere. But the concept of girl- or womanhood is, and in that way Real Review taps into the super-current feminist discussion. And in an example from the current issue, Real Review explores the connection between our hunger for technological updates and our need to constantly update our (online) selves to stay current. So this magazine is a great, and honestly entertaining, way to broaden your perspective.
But apart from that, we just love the design and the folded pocket format (it actually fits in the back pocket of your jeans) that allows you to take it anywhere. Because, guess what, this magazine doesn’t want to be sitting untouched on your coffee table. It wants to be read. Until all the pages are crumpled.
