What can we say. We can finally show you a reasonable sample of the cover for issue #1. And yes that is the one and only Masuimi Max you see, photographed by the one and only Mitzi. For any of you who may have been living under a rock for the past few years and don't know who Masuimi is, do yourself a favor and head immediately to her website iamtrouble.com and get educated, pick up a copy of Retro Lovely as we will be interviewing Masuimi and Mitzi! (heck pick up a couple of copies... they make swell gifts)

Things are going so very well that we are proud to announce we are pre-selling issue #1 at a discount for early birds! The link below takes you to our store where you can make your purchase from one of our contributing artists or models. In effect you are buying the magazine from them and they earn a commission, so if you see someone you've been following, or someone who creates work that motivates you to patronize our endeavor, your purchase from them makes you a patron of the art!

This is of course not a complete list, there are some artists we are talking to that we just don't feel that we're ready to put them on here yet, we hope to add them, want to include them in issue one, but we've just started talking. The list below however is a group we've been chatting with quite a lot, have gone beyond the "hello how do you do phase" and are going to be included in Issue #1 of Retro Lovely Magazine. All of the photographers/studios are people we endorse in a big way. The sorts who produce quality images that we are delighted to share. So seek them out! We will have more details when they become available but some of the artists will be attending Viva Las Vega 13 as well as the Lone Star Roundup in April 2010. Some have been gracious enough to offer to carry along copies of Retro Lovely so if you're headed to either or both of these events, it's your chance to pick up some autographed copies, you may even run into a model or two.

Things are shaping up. We've been in contact with several exceptional pinup photographers and models and very soon we'll be mapping out some of who will be participating in Issue #1 of Retro Lovely Magazine. We are also throwing around a few article / feature ideas and do feel that by the middle of December will have a very respectable outline. But don't let that stop you from pre-ordering! Yes indeed, if you hit the products link above you will see that our on-line store is up and running. In a sense, with a pre-order, you're becoming a participant too. You help us plan the issue printing more efficiently. We'll be able to maximize our resources. Advertisers, you really have to check out our ad deals. If you have a business where you think a magazine such as ours could be sold we've set up our ad rates in such a way that they could very very easily be FREE ads. Seriously, check it out.
Well, we've added a slew of links to cool shops,
events and retailers of all worth coveting. We have also confirmed
that the Winner of the RetroLovely Pinup Contest will be announced
at the Jim
Thorpe Burlesque Festival in Jim Thorpe PA in March 2010. Visit
their website and get your tickets early, there is every indication
it will sell out, and why not? Its being held at the Mauch Chunk
Opera House which was one of the earliest, original Burlesque houses
in the USA. May West, W.C. Fields and an amazing who's who of performers
have graced its stage and once again Burlesque will reign supreme.
Its not just one day but an entire weekend with a Burlesque Bazaar
being held at the nearby Mauch Chunk Museum Ballroom, an amazing
space in its own right as well as a variety of classes being offered
and presented at the Gilded Cupid Bed and Breakfast. Visit all the
partcipating websites and plan early. See you there!
