My first encounter with Skinnie Magazine happened as I was performing in a shitty little metal band right when I finished high school.There was a brief period of time when the band had actually generated a small following and meriting some press coverage. One of the few outlets to give us some editorial real estate was Skinnie Magazine. The copy was lame. I remember feeling stoked that the band was in a magazine, but reading the copy and going, “this makes us sound like dickbags.” Good, bad, who knows? What I can tell you is that Skinnie stuck with me. We would all give up the whole band dream not very long after, but in true under achiever fashion, I just couldn’t let go of the scene. I started writing and one of the very first editors I ever pestered was Hans Fink of Skinnie. Armed with a few features that were multi-syllable messes, I started somewhat of a career here. Delving into pop culture for the sake of a 1500 word feature, I managed to experience the sights and sounds few people ever get to see – and for that, I am forever grateful.

10 years. Whether Skinnie Magazine is loved, hated, or even on your radar at all, 10 years proves difficult to argue with in terms of sustainability and longevity. Like anything else, we get our fair share of criticism – we learned a long time ago that making everyone happy just wasn’t in the cards. We can however look back on a decade of Skinnie and feel a real sense of pride. To everyone that has contributed to this homegrown publication with genuine intentions…please know that 10 years could’ve never happened without you. Thank You For Reading…
Ramon Gonzales
