Thanks to all who sent information about Blue Jean magazine when I asked for info on Blue Denim. You are, of course, correct: Blue Jean is the correct title. I called and requested a sample issue which I received in less than one week. The content is as they said and there is no advertising. However, the price is a little steep . Many asked for a HIT so here it is: I don't know that magazine but we do get one called blue jean magazine which is advertising free. But because it has no advertising and the pictures are either b/w or the color comes from the page (not true colored pictures), we are having a hard time "selling" it. The articles are good, current, and pertinent but you don't see "how to get along with your boyfriend" type articles. It is definitely worth getting and working at getting girls interested. Deborah Bailey dbailey@sinnfree.sinnfree.org West Middle School Rockford, IL 61103 I believe the magazine is called Blue Jean Magazine. I called and asked for a free sample in Dec. but have not received one yet. The cost is $39.00 for 6 issues or introductory cost of $29.00. Tel. no. is 716 654-5070. I would be interested in any answers you get about the quality of the mag. Veronica Breuer I know of a new magazine called Blue Jean Magazine. It fits the description you posted. On the inside cover it states the magazine "is an alternative to the beauty and glamour focused magazines targeted at young women". The magazine is also "advertising-free". We have gotten it here for a few months and so far they have lived up to those remarks. For information about Blue Jean Magazine: (716) 654-5070 bluejeanmg@aol.com Hope this helps Stephanie Fruhling University of Northern Iowa Mary, You might be thinking of Blue Jean Magazine: for teen girls who dare. It was highlighted in an article that appeared in School Library Journal (Nov 96, page 36). and is promoted as for teen girls by teen girls. Cost is $39 a year. It's available directly from Blue Jean Magazine, PO Box 90856, Rochester, NY, or through EBSCO.
