Out and Out Traveker Aug 08

Out and Out Traveler Magazine is in the mail. Thank God they've sent me another copy of Out Traveler. I love this magazine and the covers are looking ever so awesome. They obviously have a great team behind them. (and how I wish I was a part of it) The cover dude kinda reminds me of the sexy lead singer from Maroon 5 Adam Levine. As for Out, well it's not sexy. Guess they weren't going for that direction eh. Oh well. I'll read it when I get the chance...

Men's Style

I can't believe I've been letting this magazine slip through my gayday. Chinese Mens Style Magazine is probably sold at my local Kinokuniya store and and I could even probably find issues of it in Chinatown. Whoa! If I knew they had a bevvy of men like this on cover, I would've spent good pink money right away. Thanks to imeili.com, I've found my fix.


DNA #103...

Current issue of DNAMagazine just hit the shelves with Will Fennel on the cover. This is his second cover to boot and he still looks good. I haven't had the chance to grab myself a copy as yet but will soon. Check out the other pics of Will below...

OUT & Out Traveler May 08

Yay!!! New issue of Out Magazine at my doorstep. And OMG...No way!!! *falls off the toilet seat* Could this be true? Someone pinch my numb left buttock. They've given 'us' (the subscribers) Out Traveler back!!! Now way Jose? OMG. About efen time. Thank God. The amount of argumentative and harrassed-flavoured emails I had to send Out Magazine just to convince them to send me my supposed issues of Out Traveler with my subscription to OUT was immense. Alas, I lost the fight, but at least they extended my subscription to 3 more years (for FREE!!!hahaha)

I'm a little unsure about the cover. Being a Graphic Designer...I'm seeing a lot of touch ups. And what's with the gray background. Not working! Not working!!! And what does Dave 'Justin' Annable from Brother's & Sister's have to do with anything gay? (beside's having gay Mathew 'Kevin' Rhys as a brother in the show?) So why is he in the cover? No way...he ain't coming out like the uncle?

If you flick to page 26, you'll find a 'great' pic of Shelter's Zach (Trevor Wright) and Brad Rowe. (I meant great as in the pic is cute.) How timely. I am about to watch my downloaded copy and from what I previewed this morning, the movie really looks great. (thanks Azureus) But how the actors have changed? Like they look so different? I dunno if I like it? Trevor looks too Hollywood and Brad looks like Brother's and Sister's Mathew 'Kevin' Rhys' boyfriend Luke 'Scotty' McFarlane. (who just recenlty came out btw. Check it out popnography.) Eew.

Loving this cover. Something very American about this style.

Out December 07

So I'm finally back in OZ. Finally, I can get my life together again (hehe) and get back on the bandwagon. I've just received my copy of Dec Out Magazine in the mail and boy was it...WOW!!! Ok, it's a little Vanity Fairish sans the two-page foldouts, but WOW nonetheless. This is the only time I've thought the OUT font on the cover actually worked. Of course we have my favourite and idol Francois Rousseau to thank for the cover, hence the clapping.

I've perused the insides and wondered who the Thank You 100 actually were. Those who are changing the route of our gay future and made our year so memorable. I still don't know half of them.hahaha (I'm soooo so not out there) But thanks people! Ok, so Francois is like a God, but after page after page of the same colour scheme, it got tiring. They should have been more Vanity Fairish.hahaha

I laughed at the nipple count in this issue. I loved Kathy Griffin's 10 Qs interview. (she's so funny) The design layouts are starting to really look great and a lot more mature and respectable. I guess that's the direction they're going for. They only now need to perfect the editor's page layout and voila...the Perfect Out!

I need to read this issue more to tell you more. Or, get yerselves a copy or just scope out their website here.

Icon (Philippines)...

Finally the latest March issue of Icon magazine from the Philippines is out on the newstands with half-Brit half-Filipino model Jon Mullally on the cover. I think he's more appealling in person. The bigger news is that Icon mag has now turned bi. Bi-monthly that is, which should have the masa cheering on. Finally, more dosages of a respectable and reputable gay publication in the country on a more frequent basis.
Here are the behinds the scenes of the shoot. More here.








Icon has also joined the YouTube bandwagon craze by uploading their behind-the-scene videos sans the sounds (?). Enjoy.




Flick through the pages and you'll witness the hottest foreign models in the country. Here are the behinds the scenes. More here.
