What’s the name of the numba 1 idol (performance/celebrity) magazine, so I can look at some covers. Because if they both involve young attractive girls in skimpy clothes, but some of them are pretending to sing, I don’t see much of a gap between the two. Much like “the pussycat dolls” or Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions, you can dress up soft core porn all you like, that doesn’t change the fundamental draw of the product
