Publication: 女友•校园 CUTE (Girlfriend Campus CUTE) magazine

Publisher: Girlfriend Media Group (女友传媒集团)

Year Published: October 2005

Source: Scanned from personal collection

Details: The magazine is, from what I can tell, a mix of lifestyle articles, short stories, some fashion spreads and pop culture of the time. The technology section is scanned purely so y'all will feel as old as I did when I saw it~ (More rambly details under the cut)

PLEASE DON'T DELETE ABOVE COMMENTARY!

I'll say it straight off the bat; I was an absolute c-boo when I was a young teen (I was 14 when this was published), so when I saw this on a stand the very first time I went to an Asian grocery store, I bought it just because I Could. And I had no idea what was being said in the magazine, I just loved looking at it~

I haven't been able to find out much about this magazine since, though. I'm not even sure if it's even being published any more! Searching for information using the English title brings me results that are just... y e a h. But it seems that as of 2020, at least, the publisher is still in business and is still printing magazines.

But if anyone is able to unearth any more info on this magazine, please let me know because my curiosity about it has not diminished slightly in the last 18(?!) years!

Also, not gonna lie. I want that USB watch.

Some real technology throw backs though. Flip phone AND clit mouse on my laptop?? Ballin'

The Nokia 3310 is exactly 15 years old today! I still have mine somewhere. I can't believe that it's this old already.

My very first Mp3 player.

I got it free when I opened up a Student Account with HSBC in 2003-4(?) 

It still works strangely enough...
