The world needs more Pazaz! Call it “Angel La’ De’jour”! I’ll be the one to keep the watchers coming back for more. They’ll never know what to expected. Ever since the day I was born, the world’s attention has been on me, like I was born in a hospital in TV land. Watchers have a tendency to listen to those who inspire them. People who they can’t keep their eyes off of. That would be me! I’ve always set the fashion of being pretty, smart and clumbsy. It works for me, and I hope it works for America. I’m hoping to set a more REAL trend, of the REAL woman. Something of which I think television has been missing. Us TV women might be all beautiful, smart, and seem to be perfect in every way to the watcher. But this is something that ALL WOMEN have in common, and will hopefully inspire those woman who think their not perfect enough to be on TV, to take a shot at it. We are all clumbsy! The cuter they make us, the harder we fall. It seems like television blocks out the most important thing about being human. MISTAKES! I’m so tired of hearing girls not reaching for their TV dreams becuase they say their not perfect enough. Well I wanna be the first shadow of a chance, to show these girls that you can still be your old clumbsy self, GLAMORFIED. Im Angel Brame, age 24 from Clinton, Maryland! Smart, beautiful, clumbsy and perfect! That’s why I’m star material. umahhhhhh chow
How to work for a magazine
How I did it: Though I'm not necessarily editing Vanity Fair, I can say I work for a magazine. It's a small, local advertising publication and 99% of our focus is on sales. BUT, I don't sell ads, I manage distribution in our area, help with ad production, assign local editorial, represent our publication in public, and basically do all of the fun stuff!
When I applied for the job, it was in customer service, not journalism. I applied anyway, as I have extensive customer service experience. Once I got the job, I realized that I really was doing what I have always wanted to do and that is to work for a magazine. I love editing and this will hopefully help me work toward my goal to be an editor or writer for a larger publication in the future!
Lessons & tips: Try something even if it's not in your field. Consider how nearly any job out there can help you gain experience in one way or the other toward your end goal.

This is impossible. Internships are cutthroat; experience is just another faraway concept, one that belongs in a dreamland. I don’t know what I’m doing or where I belong. SO WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME? I can feel myself backing into a corner/digging myself into a corner/receding deep into myself/do you get the picture?
Writing for National Geographic has been my dream since I was 14. I tucked it into my back pocket for a while, though, after people started questioning whether or not I was cut out for the work, whether I could deal with all the action and deadlines and pressure. I wasn’t sure either. I mean, I was an insecure 14-year-old at the time. How was I supposed to answer all their questions? How was I supposed to know whether or not this was “RIGHT FOR ME”? But I want this, I know that much. So… where do I start? I’m at Cornell University. No journalism major. There’s communications. But it’s no big deal. But that’s where I’m starting. Eventually it all comes down to experience, right?

Working for a magazine. You see in movies, on television shows, and in fine print right in front of your face. Its everything I’ve ever wanted. Meeting big people. Attending the biggest events. Being up to date and down with the newest fashion and gossip. Living in a big city working for my favorite magazine. My dreams would come true. I just dont know how to do it. Where to start, what classes to take, where to apply. i dont know how to get there or who to talk to . its all so far away, but i want it oh so bad!!

I love to read magazines, write, and photography. Plus I know a lot about publishing, so a magazine would be an amazing place to work.
spreadyourwings apologises for being a bit rubbish with response times!!!!
I’m a writer already- in my heart… and I’m at university studying writing but I specialise in poetry and “creative” works as opposed to the journalism side of things but I joined a student writers group and they put out a magazine which I’m keen to be involved with, particularly because as a part of my degree I need “published” works to put towards my portfolio. I’ve just been given my first assignment, to write a review on the Proclaimers. A free gig with guest list entry… and a few hundred words to write- good practice, it should be a laugh… especially as I get to take a friend!!!! Miss B was my first choice because without her I wouldn’t have written to my editor and asked for it in the first place. I don’t know a thing about the Proclaimers soooo I have ooooh 2 weeks to get familiar LOL. Wish me luck! :)
I’ve always been inspired by Dan Eldon’s journals…I feel like it would be really cool to do something like that, bringing together photojournalism and writing, two things I’ve always loved. I’m not sure how to get into this though, or what college/majors I should look into to pursue a career in working for a magazine…. I know that a good internship somewhere is really important but I’m not sure where to start.
I work for a local magazine as an art manager. I go out and find artist to put in the magazine and they work under me while I work under the art director. He tells me what he wants/needs and I go out and find it, while also making outside contacts for the magazine
that will be featured in upcoming issues of kung fu / qigong magazine.
