'Cosmo Girl' launched

JAKARTA: The Indonesian edition of Cosmo Girl was launched on Friday, the publication's third international edition after previously being released in Turkey and the Czech Republic.

The magazine aims to provide honest and direct answers to teenage questions and problems, as well as present the latest information about fashion, movies and music trends, according to Sarah Sechan, the monthly's deputy editor.

"The concept of Cosmo Girl is to provide teenagers with information that will help them understand themselves better and encourage them to become independent individuals," she told The Jakarta Post.

At the magazine's launch, called the Glitter Party, teenagers were entertained by various bands and theme games, including "Pose like a diva", and a hoola-hoop competition. -- JP
