E D I T O R I A L Today’s reality and life in general seem to be hard to grasp in this fast paced world. People do not take the time anymore to read books or the newspaper. They tend to look at things, pictures and articles briefly but do not go into depth, really. With Off Color magazine, we have continuously brought you interesting things and the latest updates when it comes to art, fashion, and music; everything that we love and find inspirational. As you all know, we love to take risks: we consciously make the choice to not cover the same issues other (major) magazines write and talk about, we do us because this is the only way we know how to, basically. This time, we thought, it would be great to challenge us some more and take on an even bigger risk: no go all nude and only deliver you visuals because sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words...

ALOMÉ
She is like the shadow of a white rose in a mirror of silver.
You are always looking at her. You look at her too much.
It's dangerous to look at people in such a way. Something terrible may happen.
They believe only in things that you cannot see.
And when I looked at you I heard a strange music.
