Judging by the cover , this looks like a lipstick lesbian style mag. And presumable the title is intended to suggest a slight SM undercurrent. Sign me up.

looks good and very progressive. I hope it goes really well. Will be buying a copy to check it out.

Excellent news.

Celebrity non-lesbian Pink on the cover, not so much.
Can’t wait for the second edition featuring Katy Perry. She kissed a girl and she liked it, apparently….

I wonder how long it will be until token lesbian Ruby Rose is wheeled out.

Looks like they’ve landed some blue chips for launch – seems like a pretty strong offering
