‘Fall Fashion’ on Bay Area Teen Focus
If you ever find yourself shopping for groceries at your local Safeway, be sure to check out the free magazine rack on your way out. Bay Area Parenthood Magazine has just released its Teen Focus issue this week. I’m sure you may have been guessing why by now — I co-wrote a piece inside (pg. 30–31!).
Teen Focus is geared directly to teens and their parents and is published only once a year. The current issue is loaded with articles called “Making MySpace Our Space” and “Surviving Stress” as well as a few other pieces on teen volunteering and parenting tips.
I was referred to the magazine’s editor by the Contra Costa Times before the summer began. That seems like such a long time ago to me but this turned out to be one of the most stress-free assignments I’ve ever had, and I even had the chance to help with the layout of my page.
I was told to pick three items that I think would be popular this fall. The choices I settled for were the Ray Ban Wayfarer, a striped crewneck sweater and a pair of Puma Clyde sneakers. I included a blurb describing my items and of course, why I thought they were cool.
Bay Area Parenthood is a nonprofit publication so feel free to take as many copies of Teen Focus as you want. They get by through a wide assortment of advertisements aimed at their reading audience. It seems to me that they have a wide distribution all over the Bay Area, ranging from Silicon Valley to the Tri Valley to the East Bay.
You’re bound to bump into a place that has them. They’re everywhere, even on the Internet. Just log in to the Bay Area Parenthood Website, which prompts you register for a free account. But don’t be turned off by this. It’s actually quite hilarious and simple. You’ll end up having to use your email address as a username and again as the password.

Excellent. I will check out the article cause i love shoes.
Shoes are cool. I used to collect dunks and jordans a few years back. It began digging a huge hole in my pocket that I had to stop. Fortunately, I sold off most of them for a very good price.
