Images in the magazine are intended to influence readers' ideas of femininity and what they aspire to look like. Models in the magazine portray conventional, stereotypical representations of femininity through their clothing, makeup and poses. These representations primarily appeal to masculinity and emphasize attractiveness, sexuality and slim figures. The goal is to influence readers to identify with and emulate the models' styles and idealized images.
