Assignment 2-1

My current pop culture topic this week is the Good Housekeeping magazine. As a child growing up in the 60's and 70's, I was exposed to the magazine by my mom's reading of it. I often read stories that were true or romantic stories. I enjoyed the beauty makeovers, and if you think about the fashions and the hair styles you have to laugh. Bell bottom pants, halter tops, long haired men, and girls with teased big hair styles. The magazine is an artifact of past and present pop culture, since it still exists and continues to attract women of all ages.
Good Housekeeping is known, for putting it's seal of approval on many items which Americans then trust to use or buy. When Good Housekeeping recommends an item, then people know that it has been tested by competent hands. The advertising ads in the magazine have changed with times, and you will still find exercises to get you in shape. The best recipes for any season, and pictures of the food to make you hunger for a taste.
Finally, the many true stories can save a life. Sharing your house with America, if your a famous movie star or athlete is what readers want. The back of the magazine is filled with at least four or five pages, of ads for vacations, or a job that you can work from home. Good Housekeeping has been important for many generations of women, and I feel that it will be around for more years to come. It is a part of our history and our past and current pop culture.
