Any shojo manga magazines?

Are there any monthly magazines like shonen jump-- but shoujo instead? I guess it'd have to be a US publication. I don't want to be hanged by shipping rates?

I ask because I don't know of any. Zero. It seems funny considering how popular manga has become. So, anyone know of any currently published magazines or any in the works? Thanks.

There is Animerica Extra, surprisingly by the same publishers of Shonen Jump (you'd think SJ would have advertised it XD). Some of the titles it features are a little more risque than what you'll find in Shonen Jump, though. >Link!<

In Japan, there are a ton of them. Each of the publishing companies that print shonen magazines like Shueisha and Kodansha also print shojo magazines and such.

In the US, the closest thing to a shojo anthrology is, as Kireihana said, Animerica Extra. There were a few shonen titles being published in that magazine as well, but I don't know if they are still being published in it or not as I'm by no means an expert on said magazine.
