Yes, I think that Gothic Beauty is aiming to be more of a fashion magazine than one about the culture itself.

I've known about that for quite a while. In fact I was supposed to go to the first one but I had to get surgery. I heard some not too flattering things about how the last one was organized.

I buy Gothic Beauty magazine mostly because it's the only gothic magazine they sell around here. Sadly most of the bands featured are new and it's FULL of ads.

It's not the greatest magazine that I've ever read, but it is by far not the best magazine that I've read either. They had some interesting articles about makeup application. (I'm a makeup junkie, so I salivate whenever I see an article about makeup.) Other than that, the rest of the magazine was sub-par, and I haven't picked up another issue since.
It's not really worth the money.

i think they do a pore job interviewing the bands. like when they entervied chemical romance all i learned was that he had a girl friend that read the mag.
other than that its only good for some decoration ideas.

I actually like Gothic Beauty. I like to look at the photos of clothing and dream of the day (which is probably never) when I'll be able to afford the clothing featured in it. Plus, it covers lots of great bands like The Birthday Massacre and Velvet Acid Christ!

I happened to browse the pages magazine the last time I was in Barnes & Noble. Sure, it had pictures of beautiful gothic women dressed in only the most alluring gothic clothing, but it lacked many things. It was full of ads, which really pisses the magazine reader off, and it’s true, it really is aimed towards the younger audience. It's not my kind of magazine, but I still like the pictures.

YES! I do that, too.
Only less seriously than you, since you need it more than I.

I've purchased a few GB magazines and found myself cutting out pictures to make a collage.

I owned a store that sold vintage & handmade sutff for girls (mostly 15-25 year olds) or so. and yes, I subscribed to the fashion rags (yes, elleGirl, teenVogue, cosmo, glamour, allure, and so-called cutting edge bust, nylon, etc) for research purposes, so I could get a feel for what everyone was buying and the new styles that were on the way. I have a whole binder full of tear sheets and I'd use that while thrifting to see if I could find vintage/retro versions to sell. gothic beauty seems like it's similar to that (I've looked nut never bought) - skip the articles, tear out the pretty pictures, toss the rest or chop it up for some arty collage thing.
now a goth sassy on the other hand... if you're talking about the very early 90s version before it got bought out by the company that put out 'teen or ym or one of those crap mags. that was a great read, and works for tweens to twenties. smart pov, relaxed almost conversational writing, risky fashion and makeup, intelligent articles, and the place where most people learned about zines and underground bands for the first time. go go goth sassy!
oh. and I've never been on a board that threatened death for grammatical errors. yay! but you must forgive my typos, I got a new keyboard and we are not yet very compatible. oh yeah, and I always seem to split infinitives, don't kill me!

Ig the british musics magizines are anything to go by, I suggest you publish in britian if ther eare enough goth's ther eto be fashionable, since it's a smaller and more refined market. I also suggest web sales (subscriptions) and some free content from the web to get reader's attention.
Meh... whatever. I just dont' want to see these magazines become ssomewhere the adviuters start demanding on specific content.

I am genuinely impressed by the fierce grammar enforcement. it's the most annoying thing on any board - posts that need to be deciphered befoe they make sense, if they do at all. high standards! you're my kind of people.

Gothic Beauty? Sorry. I'm more of an oldschool Industrial Nation & Profane Existence magazine reader.

that's awesome, and i agree that "gothic beauty" sucks
the only thing worse than gothic beauty is suicide girls.
