Letter from the Editor August Issue 2019
It’s been nearly five years since the last issue of Bridget Marie Magazine. People asked why I decided to stop and I honestly didn’t have an answer. I was just done with it. What started with a friend on the premier cover back in January 2010 turned into something much bigger. By the end, I was working with publicists, photographers, makeup artists etc. I lost focus of what the magazine was originally about. Style on a budget. Pretty soon I was more worried about how many followers, likes, and attention we had. It took me nearly half a decade to realize that I just don’t care about all of that. I also realized that I enjoy styling and photographing men. What we need are more gentlemen. I finally decided to launch Bridget Marie Men. An online fashion magazine for the gentleman on a budget. This time the focus isn’t about a celebrity on the cover. I will be showcasing how to look and feel good on a budget. We will also be tackling real issues such as same-sex parenting, how to act on a first date, etc. I invite you to join me on this journey let’s see where it goes.
Remember to always be a gentleman! Jason Vrolijk Editor-in-Chief Bridget Marie Men

Are you a guy with no fashion sense? All you have to do is look at the Leading Men of Hollywood during the 1950's. Simplicity with an edge is what style was all about. James Dean had a casual yet pulled-together look, while Gene Kelly had classic ease to him. Elvis was able to make anything sexy by rolling up his sleeves and unbuttoning a few buttons. Brando was rugged but still, a gentleman. Rock Hudson had a care-free Palm Springs vibe. No need to panic while shopping fellas. Just remember to keep it classic and you can’t go wrong!
