All the magazines are fashion magazines I seem to remember? Could it be someone involved in fashion? Like Karen O? Someone set up by fashion designers? Like the Sex Pistols? Or someone who wrote a song about fashion? Like Bowie?
Or it could just be Happiness in Magazines by Graham Coxon which would make me stupendously happy (if it’s even available on vinyl)
@girlnevergoesout - so now you have to send out 2 copies of the album. @Skalap collaborated to guess it this month.

I can't make half of the clues work, but it miiiiiiiiiiiiight be Post-Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie...
Karen O is a goddess and GNGO agrees.
But I can't think of anything she's been in that hasn't gotten its due.
This might be the website where @girlnevergoesout took the magazines picture. The name of the picture is Stack-of-magazines-006 so girlnevergoesout was, first of all, looking for a stack of magazines.
No this is true. It was more using her as an example of that type of person rather than a guess though.
Oooooor GNGO was looking for the quintessential guide to great style in entertaining and design.
Who isn’t?
I am not sure if the woman in the picture is a real woman or if she is made of wax. What do you think?
Madame Tussaud’s all the way!
This question needs a poll!

Only thing about Elastica is it doesn't fit the narrative of "wasn't widely available when the AOTMs started, but is now." According to Discogs the most recent reissue was the 2017 and despite several pressings, doesn't seem to the cheapest album to buy on vinyl (at least that's what it looks like from skimming the Discogs marketplace). The band's only other album, The Menace, has only one pressing from 2000 that is pricey.
The Menace is also a baaaaaaad album hahaha!
Back to the girl band + dude drummer, I found this page "Are there any bands with three females or four and with one male (preferably rock)?".

We think it’s a band with a frontwoman but do we know that it is an all female band with a male drummer or could it just be a frontwoman, a male drummer and who knows what the gender of the other band members are
Let's say we know it is an all female band with a male drummer and let's says it's either Bikini Kill or the Breeders.
ive been listening to Germless Adolescents by X-Ray Spex since I mentioned it last night and I’ve become a little obsessed. I think I might need to get it soon...
