Dear Readers… With this issue we complete our third successful year. We have achieved an important milestone and we are more than excited to share our happiness with you and this special issue is dedicated to YOU. Without YOU, we would have not reached here. This issue is also special as we had the honour of having an exclusive interview with Kim Kardashian during her visit to Kuwait. Our team enjoyed every bit of our experience meeting the celebrity. On the cover this month we have our local celebrity singer - Zak Mosawi, I loved the special photoshoot we did for Zak. Our professional photographer - Sameer AlAbdullah did a great job with it. I would like to thank MentalSuits for sending us the special suit for Zak for this photoshoot and also thank the managment of Hard Rock Cafe in Kuwait for allowing us to use their restaurant for this shoot. Last week we launched our own Social Media App. for the iPhones and Android and I hope you have downloaded it and tried it. It works amazing and helps us stay connected with you more efficiently.
