EDITOR’S LETTER 4

Hello Loves! Welcome to PAGE Magazine’s Second Annual Men’s Issue. There is definitely a lot of things going on in the world around us; some we can overlook and some things that we wish that we could un-see or un-hear, for that matter. So, with all that I hope that PAGE can allow you a few minutes to escape for some fun and a chance to focus on the small things that make life truly awesome. We had a blast working on this issue, actor Jay Hunter was a pleasure and a natural; he really knew how to work the camera. Michael Rainey Jr. aka “Tariq” the bad boy of Power was fantastic and brought his youthful joy to the set. Thanks to both Men for bringing peaceful and positive vibes to the PAGE Magazine set. Our journalists had some great conversations with notable men; actor/director Kenny Young, actor/trainer, Derwin Phillips to name a few. We thank you for bringing your journeys to our readers. So once again we bring to you the fashions, gadgets and grooming tips that we personally love for our men and you and yours too! Every great suit deserves a standout tie and accessories...and where would you be without the best timepiece to keep you on schedule. Men we really care about your looks and we have a few grooming tips and products for you to check out as well. There’s something here for everyone! Guy’s Trips... We know you need to get away, so we gathered a few of the best travel destinations for this vacation season. Before I let you go... thanks to all of our readers and supporters, you mean the world to us!
