We're launching a new project in a couple of weeks which is a magazine aimed at gay men and straight women, featuring all of the things these 2 markets share in common - men, men and men ;-) plus, fashion, books, television shows, etc ...

Its a mainstream project with a naughty theme - stories, articles and columns about sex, mixed with features on Sex and the City (issue 1), a close look at a part of the male body each month, best boyfriends, hollywood hunks etc ... imagine cosmo meets playgirl meets will & grace!

The project will initially be in 2 formats - an ebook and a subscription paysite, with plans to take the magazine to print in July 2005.

The first online issue will be January 2005, and advertising is available now for the grand launch issue and the following 2 issues. Basically we will be selling 1 page ads for $300, but the ads will stay *permanently* in the ebooks & paysite archives which will be continually marketed and sold as 'past issues'.

The first published issue may not have a large audience, but the potential for ongoing promotion in the first 12 months is extremely high. We expect by month 3 to have filled all advertising slots, as there are many interested corporations with products for these 2 major target audiences who have already reserved spots for the first print issue.

Women account for 70% of household spending and gay men generally have a high disposable income - making both audiences an extremely large market for the promotion of a wide range of products.

The first 3 issues will each have 10 ad pages, which will be sold for $300 each. If you think your product is suitable for *both* gay men and straight women, then this is an opportunity you can't pass up.

The following types of products are a suggestion, so if you have anything related and $300, an ad spot is yours - offer stands until sold out. For launch issue, all ads must be received by the 20th December.

- Jewelery
- Fashion (clothes, sunglasses, hats, shoes)
- Funky Electrical items
- Music, Television shows, movies
- Sex Toys, lube, condoms
- Mobile Phones
- Health Products
- Dating Sites
- Food/Chocolates/Gourmet Items
- Astrology

If you aren't sure, post your product and we can always try to come up with an angle to make it relevant to our audience ;-)
