That magazine’s articles about fashion and allthat stuff are for people without personalities.

Alice have two best friends (Elizabeth and Pamela), she think that they are changing because she get bored very easy when they are talking about all that stuff that is “in” like magazines, boys, clothes, make up, food and sometimes she feels excluded.
