[LM_NET] Target: Lucky Magazine?

["Wee, David" <dwee@HW.COM>]

Hello all,

I'm interested in some opinions.  I have 8th grade girls who would like
me to subscribe to Lucky Magazine: The Magazine About Shopping!  I have
seen a single issue and IMHO I thought that the ads and articles were
fine for our community.  

I seek the opinions of others because I had a bit of a knee jerk
reaction about subscribing to a magazine about shopping.  I subscribe to
other magazines that are of interest to groups of kids such as
Electronic Gaming Monthly and Surfer's Journal and I don't want to give
my female students the idea that the things that they're interested in
are less important to me than the kinds of things my boys are interested
in. 

Any strong opinions for or against?  Budget isn't a huge issue.

Thanks,

dave
