It's old news now -- but incase you haven't heard already, MSLO is folding our most beloved Blueprint Magazine. If you're like me and believe this is obviously a huge mistake, you can leave your comments at Bluelines, where Martha might just hear you out.
MSLO claims the reason for letting the magazine go is because the 20s/30s generation gets their information from different sources like blogging and the internet, rather than magazines. What MSLO fails to see is that the internet could never replace sitting down with a nice fat glossy full of wonderful lifestyle articles like what Blueprint offers. As a member of this generation, I would just like to say that we will be the ones replacing such icons as Martha in the future, therefore, leaving our demographic out in the cold may be a bad move on her part. Instead, why not nourish this DIY generation with great articles, molding us into the designers, innovaters, gardners, chefs, and crafters to come.
Alas, its back to reading what the oh-so-traditional Living, same-old-Real Simple, and hit-or-miss Domino have to offer. Maybe the Blueprint editors will walk out on MSLO and start up their own magazine... there will definitely be a giant void to fill.
