Keeping it REAL

We were thrilled to welcome so many of you to our fi rst Real photo shoot – and what a fabulous day we all had!

Whenever we ask you if you’d like to see more ‘real’ women in the magazine, the answer is always a resounding ‘yes’. Although you love to see model shoots and celebrities – and let’s face it, who doesn’t love some aspirational glitz and glam – you also know stylish, beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes and you’re keen to see yourselves reflected in your favourite magazines.

We agree it’s high time this issue was addressed, which is why we’ve launched Real, a campaign to champion and empower women. This involves a model search for readers who will grace future issues of this magazine, and others, to promote a more inclusive, realistic image of fabulous mid-life women in the media.
