Likewise I am just about always critical at what is deemed as Ireland's "high culture" by the editors. Take as example that one with the plastic surgery who was with the Lord of the Dance guy. Looking pornographic she poses in front of the camera wearing some ridiculosly overpriced necklace.This sort of photography is a constructed symbol of what luxury and the "good life" is in Ireland. The name of the mag is "Life", yet what is written about in this mag is the furthest thing from life. For every excess material privilege that we have in our day to day lives others go without. So when people pose in their designer this and that what they promoting is a life that values material possessions over the lives of those who are living in conditions of extreme poverty.....this is a symbol of vulgarity rather than a symbol of high culture. One would think that a magazing called "Life" would be concerned with how life could be made better for the billion, or so, people (yes billion) worldwide who are oppressed, killed by their own government, or starving but no instead what to wear and the like is communicated through bad journalism by a writer and magazine that is a symbol of how we the privileged are the beasts and the uncouth.
