“Stories” For Cosmopolitan Latina Magazine
Cosmo: Latinas are Hot
The word is out that spicy Cosmopolitan magazine next year will launch a new magazine, Cosmopolitan Latina, for Spanglish-speaking, bi-cultural American Latinas.
(Kind of like the Tiki Tiki, but with more advertising and way more dirty words…)
Anyway, as reported in the New York Times, Cosmopolitan Latina will launch issues in the Spring of 2012 and Fall 2012. The magazines, 545,000 copies, will be circulated in states with large Latino populations, such as California, Florida, Texas and New York. There also will be Latina-flavored content by Latina bloggers on the Cosmo website and via smart phones.
Given all that, I have come up with suggested stories for Cosmopolitan Latina. I am, after all, a self-professed expert in the Hispanic-American demographic — even if I am a little mas vieja then their young hot cha cha readers.
Tell me what you think.
