I know the magazine has been in trouble for a while now. I would suggest opening all of the magazine to advertisers instead of having a dedicated "features" section. Better Homes has been doing it for a few years, and so does HGTV magazine. I like that idea better than not having a magazine at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-29631202445465785122013-09-11T17:56:54.583-05:002013-09-11T17:56:54.583-05:00See ya Pilar, hopefully more inspiring quality and...See ya Pilar, hopefully more inspiring quality and educational gardening, decorating and cooking content will follow, and less makeup, kids, and uninformed shopping lists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-32271939294071896262013-08-24T03:51:44.954-05:002013-08-24T03:51:44.954-05:00Thank you Andrew for introducing Eric to us.

I can now relate the ideas and creativity from the magazine much easier because the presence of Martha's products in Home Depot, Micheal's, Staple, Macy's and PetSmart(love!!). I will suggest the flower arrangements in 1800flowers, signature sugar cookies and holiday cookies in WholeFood or TraderJoe...we want Martha everywhere!

It's really sad to observe the continual leadership changes at the magazine, and the company still has not named a CEO. What's happening at Martha Stewart Living? I hope things stabilize a bit for them.

She was awful... the one who led the charge for more beauty articles and shopping pages, fired many of the craft, gardening and collecting editors, and who put her own house and kids on the cover of her third issue (Martha didn't like it but let it go since Pilar was still new). I'm glad to see Eric as the EIC as he was the one that was mainly responsible for how great the magazine looked starting in the mid-90s. But I think he's like Gael Towey... only filling the position until they find another middle-aged Brooklyn mom...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-57445910452680811412013-08-15T14:14:58.645-05:002013-08-15T14:14:58.645-05:00That was actually Stephen Earl, the former Home ed...That was actually Stephen Earl, the former Home editor at the magazine and I do remember that article.
