Cosmopolitan is not known for providing readers with hard hitting journalism, innovative fashion advice or creative photo shoots, but it has always been there to provide females with articles about sex, relationships and what jeans men want to see their girlfriends wearing.
It can be easy to poke fun at the magazine, but it will definitely still have the last laugh. Cosmopolitan has 63 international editions, is printed in 32 languages and is distributed in more than 100 countries around the world. Not too shabby for a magazine that recently printed the headline "What Your Va-Jay-Jay is Dying to Tell You."
Check out this list of Cosmopolitan features for a look into one of the biggest magazines in the world.
