This magazine for $11.00 is sad. People spend their hard earned money on luxeries like magazines and this is a rip off for them. <br /><br />Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-28594494331156881772012-05-02T10:21:11.845-04:002012-05-02T10:21:11.845-04:00I wasn't a consistent follower of Domino, pick...I wasn't a consistent follower of Domino, picked it up occasionally. I was really looking forward to the issue. After I bought it, I noticed that the content was tired rather than inspiring. Then I saw the Washington Post article, more of a blurb, really, which said it was all rehashed. Then everything made sense.<br />Paula ~ Mise en scèneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514877313601379515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-16448407905421842612012-05-02T00:29:02.860-04:002012-05-02T00:29:02.860-04:00I thought everything looked familiar.

It seems many bloggers now have an overrated opinion of themselves and their so called "influence". If it is true that bloggers were the reason why the show was cancelled, then they are responsible for the many people who worked on the show, and are now losing their job.

They must assume one of two things, either people don't really read their publication so they won't notice the duplication, or two, people are stupid. Either way, why bother.

I recognized a LOT, although I did miss the first few issues of the original Domino. It was a big bore - and I also looked over the names and saw none I recognized. What are they trying to do??
