A friend sent me a link to a this new(ish?) gay magazine, created for professional men. As a non-professional man I'm not its target audience, but it really is beyond awful. It makes Attitude look like the G2. The premiere issue from December features a track by track preview of Kylie's X. Except they preview 16 tracks, only 4 of which actually appeared on the album. There's also a picture of Poorly Bad Nancy Francesca in Rent Remixed, along with god knows how many airbrushed to death pictures of men in pants. Issue 1 proper has an interview with Daniel Boys, and more men in pants. I've not bothered reading Issue 2. www.beigeuk.com/

It isn't that bad. Just looking at issue two, I'm not sure about the layout, but the essential content is actually what a lot of people would like to read about. And unlike Attitude, they seem to have a decent sub.

As bad as Attitude is it doesn't come close to this. Awful, awful, awful.
It looks like a 100 page leaflet. The music section is hilarious. The person reviewing Britney's album obviously hadn't heard any of it and who the hell thinks Kylie's 2 Hearts sounds like a song Amy Winehouse would have turned down?

Having read issue 2, I take it all back. It's a wonderful concept.
On page 36 there's an advert for a house that costs £12,000,000! That's twelve million English pounds! It comes with staff quarters with separate access, which you'd both want and need, and a cinema room. And then on page 40 there's tips with Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis, who gives details on how you can get Sky tv for £6 a month! You can watch Sky in the cinema room on the Panasonic 103 inch screen they recommend on page 51 for £50k.

That's terrible - who on Earth would let their staff reside in the same building?
Also, worst magazine name ever. Beige? Why you would emphasize the entirely blah-ness of your magazine is beyond me.
