While we were reporting on Project Red Dress, we got a chance to schmooze with Seattle chapter of Fashion Group International board members Susan (Regional Director-Elect and Treasurer) and Janaea (Programs Chair), also the founders of Beauty Revolution magazine, Seattle's online beauty and fashion magazine. We caught up with them again online and conducted a Google Talk interview, because we're cool like that. more ›

This just in from BikePortland: Price Media, the publishing stalwarts who bring you Outdoors Nw (sic on the small "w") magazine, have cooked up a new magazine, NW Cyclist. It'll be published just once per year; the premiere issue will be available in March 2009 at the Seattle Bike Expo.

Newspapers, the Seattle Weekly reminds us, are not. We are so close to being a no-daily-newspaper town right now. more ›

CEO and Publisher Bob Ritter of Washington CEO magazine has announced that he's eliminated the magazine's executive editor position. Partly a happy reflection of CEO vanity, Washington CEO faces hard times when CEOs are making the news mainly for sudden departures and downgraded earnings.

We think we're such hot stuff here in Seattle, but Portland and Vancouver got their Edibles many harvest moons ago. So did Cape Cod, the Twin Cities, and the Iowa River Valley. No matter, the first issue of this new full-color quarterly is finally on the stands (at Metropolitan Markets, PCC, Whole Foods), circulation of 70,000, handsomely produced on recycled, ecologically correct, non-glossy stock. Five bucks a copy, but $28 a year for a subscription. more ›
