Gaybutton Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I received the following Email today, including the attached file. As you know, SPICE Magazine is free and the web site is http://www.spicemag.net : _____ Dear Friends, It seems word is getting out about the new focus of Spice! Magazine due out shortly. So I am attaching a preview of it and letting you know what the travelers and readers can expect. The next issue will be a newly revised Spice! Magazine that will be known as "The Essential Guide for Men." Edward Carter has come aboard as Editorial Consultant to oversee the melding of Spice! into a first class guidebook for Gay Travelers. Dr. Carter has been an author, professor, publisher of the online travel guide (http://www.edwardcarterstravels.com) and entrepreneur par excellence. We have been hard at work for some time now on the revisions. We will still have the "stuff" in Spice! you want to see like interesting stories, photos of events, and information for and about the Gay community, as we are very supportive of the Gay organizations & charities in Thailand. There will still be reviews about all types of eateries and romantic getaways but gone are things like the horoscopes and agony aunt columns that are replaced by Highlights of where to go and what to see, the best shopping areas, and what is considered special about that city. New also, are easier to read maps of the major cities of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Koh Samui, and Pattaya, with an easier to use directory of places you want to visit. Also, we will offer tips about touring, places of interest not to be missed, and an "insiders" view on each city's Gay scene. But wait, I'm not gonna tell all here, you'll have to wait and see all the stuff we have packed into this new and larger edition of Spice! Magazine!—The Essential Guide for Men that is scheduled to published the 6th of May and will be sent to all the usual venues throughout Thailand. If you think people saved the previous issues as a resource for themselves or their friends, wait till you see this baby! Thanks again for all your support, comments, suggestions, or info you send to update the maps/indexes in Spice! They are always welcome and can be emailed to: editor@spicemag.net. Kind regards Quote
Guest Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Phil has done a great job since taking over the magazine and he continues to improve it. I hope he has many successful years and that his business continues to thrive. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 When SPICE first came out, it had photos of some gorgeous guys, but I don't recall any credits or names of the bars where they worked. Has that changed? If not, and if they do work in any of the bars, I'd love to know the name/s. Quote
Gaybutton Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 When SPICE first came out, it had photos of some gorgeous guys, but I don't recall any credits or names of the bars where they worked. Has that changed? If not, and if they do work in any of the bars, I'd love to know the name/s. If it were me, if the boy works in a bar I probably wouldn't publish which one, mainly because so many of these boys either quit working in the bars or move on to a different one quite regularly. Chances are that by the time the magazine comes out, the boy has moved on. On the other hand, if the boy has an Email address or has a profile on any of the gay personals web sites, and if the boy gives his permission to publicize that information, then I don't see any reason not to include it. The publisher of Spice is open to suggestions. Why not send him an Email at editor@spicemag.net and ask if he can include that information? Quote
