Hi
From the rather flowery conclusions of a survey aimed at convincing advertisers to buy space in a women's glossy.
SE PROJETER DANS UN AILLEURS
(Magazine) vous transporte dans un ailleurs onirique et stimule le désir d'être une femme.
"Vous" in this case is the reader.
So far I have "IMAGINE ANOTHER DIMENSION."
As it's a title, short is sweet ;-)
All better suggestions will be hugely appreciated!
Thanks.

explore new frontiers
discover new horizons
maybe it's going a bit far but how about "push back the frontiers!" or "imagine new limits!"
this could fit in with the concept of taking your self to a new dimension to discover a new you based on fantasy and the enhanced desire to be a new woman!

Let yourself go
Just a thought for the header. It represents the spatial idea. Although bear in mind that it is already a slogan being used by a UK holiday company!
Also something along the lines of lose yourself/get carried away etc although they do have connations of losing control which isn't present in the original.

: Trouble is, you have to be careful of unwanted sexual connotations here - with all the stimulation and desire that comes in the next sentence!

Definitely worth noting - I think those connotations passed me by as I sat here in my thermal socks! Maybe I need a copy of this magazine.... :)

: Also in said socks, for me it means not looking after yourself, not such a good message for a women's magazine, perhaps./Thanks, though I'm sure our socks are equally fetching!

Yes Helen - I hadn't read it that way. Probably because of the context. I'm liking the answers that refer to escaping. I like yours too (answer I mean, not socks).

Maybe this "ailleurs" also refers to becoming another person.
Pity me!
