Do You Wish September Mags Had Non-Blond Cover Models?
Since the September cover of Marie Claire popped up, it's become increasingly obvious that the glossy mags weren't kidding when they released their cover choices for the first Fall month — generally the biggest and most important issue of the year. As Fashionologie points out, Vogue, Allure, Elle, W, Glamour, and Marie Claire will all have light-haired cover stars. InStyle, which will feature Jennifer Lopez, seems to be the only exception.
Courteney Cox Talks Botox
Courteney Cox has always been known for her creamy, smooth, and clear complexion. And guess what? While other celebs, such as Nicole Kidman adamantly deny any needle-to-face contact, Courteney actually admits to Marie Claire that she's dabbled with a little Botox herself.
Would You Pose Without Makeup?
This is pretty cool: Former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins is on the cover of Australian Marie Claire, and she's not wearing any makeup.

Nicole Kidman Says She Hasn't Had Botox
While at the grocery store this weekend, I became momentarily transfixed by the December cover of Marie Claire. Nicole Kidman is on it, looking as flawless as ever.

The new issue of Marie Claire has a story about Botox parties—namely, those that happen in a hotel. Combined with spa treatments and breakfast, they offer guests a chance to enjoy luxurious surroundings while injecting their wrinkles away. "We think Botox parties might become a fun alternative to bridal showers—or maybe divorce parties," says Neil Sazant, owner of the Sagamore Hotel in South Beach, Florida.

Ads Finally Just Replace Content in a New Beauty Mag
In a story that, in another era, would perhaps have been a piece in The Onion instead of one in real life, Procter & Gamble is starting its own health and beauty mag called Rouge. Along with offering coupons, the magazine will be about 60 percent P&G "branded editorial coverage," meaning stories that advise you while also endorsing brands such as Cover Girl and Olay.
The surprising twist on this news is that when P&G was researching the viability of the idea, their studies showed that "80 percent of readers found Rouge to be comparable to fashion titles such as Marie Claire and Allure in 'quality and design.'" That's great news for Rouge, but yikes, what does that say about people's opinions of regular magazines these days?
