Marie Claire Grows Older?

Lesley Jane Seymour will be taking over the vacant position of editor in chief at Marie Claire, leaving behind her old position of the same rank at Redbook. Somehow, I don't really see the connection.

First off, Redbook is centered on the mother-figure who is in her late thirties to early fifties. Marie Claire draws in the woman who is the curious teenager, the wandering twenty-something, and the almost-established thirty-kin.

Sure, Redbook has been featuring some high-profile celebs--women who are wives or mothers but still fairly high in the va-va-va-voom factor. But the fashions? As surely different as Martha Stewart's overalls and Milla Jovovich's vintage dresses.

Can Seymour do it, it being maintaining the magic formula Bonnie Fuller started and which Glenda Bailey sustained? It being the topical exposes concerning women all over the world, as well as the fashion spreads in exotic locations? Time will tell. But if there are any covers of Florence Henderson ("Ms. Brady") on future issues of Marie Claire, Hearst is losing my subscription.
