KandiGirlz Presents BODY Magazine – Premier Issue Preview

Marcus of KandiGirlz.com was cool enough to hit me with a preview of their new magazine, KandiGirlz Presents BODY Magazine. It’s cool to see a new magazine hitting the stands during hard times. With King exiting fresh print on the shelves is a good thing.

The honeys featured in their first issue are Featuring:
Venus De Milo, Jessica Bunny, Anowa Aja (see images below), The Ebony Doll, Jasmin Hernandez, and Mz Shawty. Marcus on their goal:

The goal I’m aiming for is to raise the level of Ebony glamour magazines. Sexy but also comparable in quality to what is considered mainstream. Just a lil more than the usual urban mag sh*t. …High quality pics, not over photoshopped, oversaturated, or overprocessed.

Up front the images in this post are not scans and I have not touched a copy of this magazine. But looking I’m looking forward to get my hands on one and seeing something different.

KG BODY is on the stands in NYC area and can be ordered directly from KandiGirlz.com. You can keep up with Marcus on his Twitter.

Good luck to the KG crew and hope this one of many issues to come.

The King is Dead

The rumors been flying and blog posts been hitting for the last two days on this but it looks like it might be true. It looks like King Magazine is out of business. I’ve been reading conflicting reports about whether the next issue will not hit stands or not. But some are saying the last issue will hit stands on April 21. I am banking that’s the real deal because I don’t want to see them go out without a bang.

I gotta say as a fan, it was a surprise. King had the distro, the ads and the presence that made you think they be still standing when the dust settles. Makes you want to say, “Say it ain’t so”. When King was on its game, it was one of the best. Even off, it was at least good. The last year was definitely an off year. On my personal fav list it was pretty much dead last for the last 12 months. I mean the minute Chanta Patton hit the cover without cause the magazine on was downward slide. But I was thinking they’d get it together and make a come back.

So what do you gotta say? Glad The King is dead? Or waiting for his return?

Upgrade…

Just upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 and so far nothing looks broke. Hit me if something looks jacked on your end but it looks wired to me.

Picking Up the Boxes The Mover Left Behind…

I moved hosts on News Years Day but everyone got left at the old address. What can I say packing and driving with a hangover is bitch. Along the way posts thrown up since Monday got lost. The database just won’t take anything newer. But there were some choice comments so I pulled the best of the bunch and I am posting them here so they that don’t get lost forever.

Moving to A New Host

Its time to leave this shared host and upgrade. I am moving my host and domain registration so the site may become unavailable for you at some point during the next 24 hours as the domain name is registered with the new name servers. If it happens just be patient. Its time…

Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
