Editor’s letter
elcome to the second edition of Seen Magazine. We were overwhelmed with the fantastic response we had from our first edition in the summer, and have had a brilliant time putting this issue together. In August we were out and about at the Liverpool Pride festival and were delighted to have been a part of it. The organisers, participants and everybody who attended the event did the city proud – so well done to all. For this issue, we are proud to have been selected as a media partner for the 2010 Homotopia Festival. The Festival is a strong mark on Liverpool’s artistic map, and in this edition we have brought you more than 20 pages of what’s on, where to see it, a history of the event and much more – don’t miss it!
We also look at some more controversial issues – such as the worrying books out there that claim to ‘cure’ homosexuality. We also have hard hitting features on domestic abuse and homophobic attacks. I have to say a huge congratulations to our Fashion Correspondent Matt Fisher, who made it down to the final three entrants in the Juice FM Style Awards for Fashionista of the Year – and you can see why in his fashion column in this issue, where he has hand picked and photographed some of the most gorgeous clothes available in Merseyside at the moment. We have launched our brand new website www.seenmag.co.uk, which is updated every day with news, events, blogs, opinions and so much more.
It’s well worth a visit so make sure you check it out if you haven’t already. As I said earlier, we have been overwhelmed with the support and positive feedback we have had from both readers and advertisers in Seen Magazine, and we are already gathering some brilliant features for Issue Three! In the meantime though, enjoy the winter edition – and be sure to let us know what you think.
