FROM THE EDITOR

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF GLAM-FREAK!

I am so excited to finally launch and share the magazine with you. Gina Cicero (Managing Editor and CEO of Lady Venom Cosmetics) and I first started thinking about the concept last year. It’s crazy, but in less than one year here we are. Now that it’s here, I hope you like it and feel that it was worth the wait.

Marilyn Monroe meets Lady Gaga - that’s glam-freak. It’s about showcasing people who are obsessed with everything glamour. Whether it’s fashion, beauty or lifestyle products. Our mission is to help emerging models, photographers and artists become famous.

We’re achieving this by showcasing and promoting their work inside the magazine - free.

Glam-freak gives people the opportunity to showcase their glamour and potentially get noticed by top brands and scouting agencies.

Our editors have come up with some amazing content for our special launch issue. From beauty articles about Anti-Aging, to an editorial spread inside a Jet Engine of famous pin-up and contortion model Loulou von Brochwitz, to an advertising campaign from a company called TOLETTA featuring of a chanel inspired paper motorcycle jacket and paper shorts made from 864 paper toilet seat covers by Edmonton Canada fashion designer Laura Dreger.

If there is anything you think we should be covering that we are not, we’d love to know. After all this magazine is all about you. We look forward to receiving your feedback.

Enjoy friends,

P.S. I’d like to give a special thanks to the graphic designers who helped make this possible; Bruno Vicente at IN Creative, Jack and Karen Marchese at Marchese Design Studio.

ANTI-AGING KNOW HOW MAKE SANDCASTLES OUT OF YOUR SANDS OF TIME

By Mary Winkenwerder, Senior Beauty Editor

A single glance can reveal something only heard about. The first sighting of a line on the face or dark spots can send shockwaves of panic through the mind bringing with it other radical thoughts of non self worth. If one person can see the weathering of the skin, then others will as well, as a fleeting thought permeates mind space and depreciates the value of self worth. Maintaining a busy lifestyle is just how life is lived today and who ever said that the sands of time would fly in the face and not just fall through the hourglass gracefully? When the flying sands of time partner with common free radicals, all hope for beautiful sandcastles of youthful appearance fall over with the waves of aging despair. One look in the mirror on the right unkept day can compound an already badly damaged self perception with unbridled stress. This stress in turn can only add more time to an existing appearance. Get an upper hand with a global antiaging regime by incorporating a few of these solutions into your daily routine.

Rejuvenation Peel Pads Resurface skin with a rich glycolic formula from LA’s top facialist. $65. www.marcedwardskincare.com

ÄKTA® 10% Alpha Hydroxy Treatment Powerful natural cream formula to resurface skin. $32. www.gunillaofsweden.com

THE VALUE OF A WELL KEPT BEAUTY TRAVEL BAG CREATION OF THE INSTANT ON-THE-GO BEAUTY BAG SIMPLIFIED

By Mary Winkenwerder, Senior Beauty Editor

Traveling encourages mixed thoughts as packing approaches. Suddenly, the pull toward rest and relaxation becomes more labor intensive. To avoid these anxieties, why not keep a fully packed beauty travel bag? This bag is the one travel element that will always be ready in advance and will be travel ready when it’s time to move. Since one can never place monetary value on time, creating this bag in advance can be priceless. A well kept beauty bag should contain everything you use on a daily basis or use regularly within a three day period.
