Participants Wanted for Easy Living Magazine Feature
I’m looking for glamorous women to take part in a positive and inspiring real-women story. The piece will celebrate women in their 30s and 40s who are proudly ‘living in the moment’ – not burdened with worries and pressures about planning for the future.
Do you, or any of your clients or friends, fit in with one of the following...
* A woman who is happy dating and not interested in settling down/getting married
* A woman who has decided not to save for a pension, and isn’t worried about it
* A woman who has had many jobs and tends to move on after a few months – she doesn’t like to be tied down by a ‘career’
* A woman who isn’t interested in having a mortgage/getting on the property ladder and prefers to rent
The feature will involve a quick phone interview and a lovely photoshoot. If you know someone who might fit with the above, please send a photo plus age, town and a few lines about their story to lisa.harvey@condenast.co.uk
