You might not have known this fact - [we take all the fashion magazines for granted now] - but that glossy magazine Glamour that you might be a big fan of, is 73 years old!

That's right. Like you, I take the existing magazines for granted. I do know that they go back in many years, but it's unlikely I'd actually do a research on how they came around. They just did and they are fab...
