E PUBLISH M O R F LETTER
(Here’s my Oprah/Gayle moment…don’t f*$k it up!) Hello Atlanta, In your hands is the inaugural issue of sbi Magazine. Now, if I were to put myself in your shoes, the first thing I would do is thumb through the pages and see what it’s all about. We aim to always keep up with the latest styles, always be a loud and bold voice in our community and always do our best to keep you informed on the city’s happenings and point you to the businesses that support you and I. In our BE THERE sections, you will find the up-to-date “hotspots” and their events. In our DO THIS sections, we will feature new recipes, mixology and even unique date-night suggestions. In our PHOTOBOOTH pages, you will find the hottest people shot out around town. In our BEST OF pages are this week’s best things ranging from laughable social media quotes to recession friendly specials at neighborhood restaurants. I grew up just outside the perimeter and began coming to the city when I was just 15 to Innovox and Outwrite. It was like coming to the Emerald City for me at the time. At AIDS Walk 2004, I volunteered to work and I had a personal conversation with Mayor Franklin. She really encouraged me to continue being involved with our community and volunteering for worthy causes. In 2006, I started producing and promoting nightlife events. Throughout the productions, I learned a lot from people heavily involved with the community from Brad Williams to Bubba D’Licious and countless others the importance of giving back. I began working with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force their annual Winter Party in Miami and worked with local personalities to sponsor YouthPride events that give the LGBT Youth in Atlanta a safe place to socialize. I am continuing the community involvement at SBI and we are already working with local charities in various ways to help these organizations continue the vital work they are doing in Atlanta. We hope you stay involved with us by supporting the businesses that support you and writing to let us know your feedback. Enjoy! Jason Snead Publisher 6

uPaul embodies the SBI Magazine mantra, making the Atlanta-native the perfect pick for our inaugural cover. She demonstrates style, boldness and gives informative advice to aspiring drag starlets week-after-week on Logo’s second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. It is no surprise that the show won the 21st Annual Glaad Media Award for Outstanding Reality Series as season two proves to be even more intense than the first with harder challenges and cutthroat judges’ critique. Each week the girls are given different challenges that extend from making outfits out of curtains to selling cherry pies on the streets of L.A. Every week the girls let out their inner bitch with their eye rolls, finger snaps and catty commentary about their fellow queens. The catfights are definitely entertaining, but the individual styles and creativity the queens bring to the challenges make up most of the show. Each week guest judges like Kathy Griffin, Tanya Tucker, and Henry Rollins join Merle Ginsberg, Santino Rice and Rupaul herself to critique the fashions 8

created by the racers. The gentlemen cooled their engines – and the best woman won. Tyra Sanchez clawed her way to the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar and won the crown during the finale of the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Just back from filming the reunion show, we caught up with the two Atlanta queens in this year’s competition, Nicole Paige Brooks and Sonique:
Q: How were you picked for RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 2? NPB: I tried out the
first season. A lot of my friends really pushed me to do it and I almost got on, so when the next season started casting, I did it again. SONIQUE: I sent in a video like everyone else. I was just being myself, nothing more nothing less, I guess they liked me.
Q: Do you think the other girls selected deserved to be there? NPB: At first, I was
surprised at some of the girls that made it. After being there with them I started to see why the
show would pick them. Each one of us showed a different niche in the drag community. SONIQUE: I think all of the girls are great so, yes they deserved to be there.
Q: When did you start doing drag and how has your career changed since being in Atlanta? NPB: I started
doing drag February 22,1995 in Oklahoma City. When I moved to Atlanta, Backstreet was open and pouring 24/7. It was the second place in Atlanta I performed and I started working there and have been doing Drag here successfully every since. SONIQUE: I started doing drag in Athens a few years ago. The local drag queens were stand-offish to me and rarely allowed me to work, so the drag Kings took me in and the rest is history. Moving to Atlanta was the best career move I ever made. I have always had a job and have worked with very many legendary queens like Ashley Kruiz, Nieshia Dupree, Raquel Lord just to name a few. There are a few people in Atlanta I want to thank for giving me a chance in the beginning, Princess Charles, Mary Edith Pitts, Shawnna Brooks, and Nicole Paige Brooks. They will always have a special place in my heart and I couldn’t thank them enough.
Q: What was a typical day like while filming? NPB: It went something like this.
8am we had to be ready to leave the hotel; sometimes as a girl, sometimes as a boy. Go to set: may it be a club or the side of the road. Do the challenge, go to next set, get the next challenge, have lunch. Start to get ready for the next challenge. Do one-on-one interviews, work on the challenge, eat dinner, rehearsal for the next day, end of day interview. Go back to the hotel at 11ish, sometimes later. REPEAT SONIQUE: We would have to be up early around 6:30am. Be on set with our mic on and ready to film by 8am. There was a lot of hurry-up and wait moments, which drove us

crazy. Sometimes we wouldn’t leave filming until 11pm and have to get up and do it all over again the next day. I enjoyed people telling me what to do though. I didn’t have to think too much; it was like a vacation to me. I loved it.
Q: Who was your favorite celebrity judge? NPB: Dita Von Teese SONIQUE: I would have to say Dita Von Teese, and Kim Coles they are the only two judges that actually came up to me while no cameras were on to talk to me. It made my day.
Q: What did you learn from the experience? NPB: I worry a lot about the
people around me, to the point I was not sleeping well at night. We could not call e-mail or talk to anyone outside of the show. When I got home everyone was just fine, so mostly I learned not to worry so much. SONIQUE: Know who you are and deliver that at all times. You can’t go wrong with that.
Q: Are the other girls correctly portrayed?
NPB: Yes if you didn’t say, it they can’t play it. Do I think they played things up? Yes it’s Television. SONIQUE: I think we all had “our moments” and most of the show is based on those moments. They have so much footage of us, but ultimately they used what would make great TV. So to answer the question, we all got along great, most of us, and all the girls were nice to me.
Q: Besides yourself, who was your favorite on the show? NPB: Pandora Boxx and I am super proud of Jujubee
SONIQUE: I love Morgan. She is my best-friend now and I knew N.P.B. & Pandora before filming and I loved them from the start, I really didn’t get a chance to get to know people while filming, but after the show I have gotten closer to Jujubee, Shangela, Tatianna, Raven, and Sahara.
Q: Sonique, Was it hard having Nicole leave? SONIQUE: It was sad to see Nicole go
so soon, because I knew she was one of the 10
sbi|MAGAZINE
stronger and more experienced girls, it is never easy to see your friend go.
Q: How has the show helped and hurt and how has the show changed your career? NPB: This has been nothing
but a positive experience and I have loved every minute of it. I travel a lot now that is one of the biggest things that has changed. I am enjoying seeing all the different places and all the different drag. SONIQUE: The show has only helped me. I have learned so much about myself and the people around me. I have had to keep to myself in my personal life and work harder. It’s always great to be recognized for being on TV unless it’s Cops, haha, but I love my life and I’m in a happy place in my life and I can see clear, love stronger, and work as much or as little as I choose. I’m very grateful and know that I’m blessed God has been good to me. I have noticed the people around me have changed some for the better, others not so much, but at the end of the day I feel loved and wanted, I feel great!
Q: We define our magazine as Stylish, Bold and Informative. How would you define yourself in three words and what you want people take away about you from your TV debut?
NPB: Entertaining, Talented, and Smart SONIQUE: Honest, Caring, and Friendly. I can only do Sonique, I can’t be everybody else. I hope people can be happy for me and to know that I’m proud of me no matter what, I also want everyone to love a lot more and hate a lot less life is way too short to dwell on the small stuff.
Q: Where are you performing now in Atlanta? NPB: Monday: Blake’s Wednesday : Jungle for Fantasy Girls Thursday : Blake’s with Shawnna Brooks Friday: LeBuzz or out-of-town Saturday: LeBuzz SONIQUE: Monday:Blake’s 11pm Tuesday: Shout 11pm Wednesday Jungle 10PM Thursday: Heretic 11PM I travel on the weekends.

S
uperstar DJ Tony Moran will be spinning his beats from his latest album entitled MAGIC at Heretic Atlanta this Saturday. The Grammynominee is known for his thunderous tribal beats and when artists like Whitney Houston, Madonna, BeyoncÊ, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Janet Jackson, and Jennifer Lopez want their latest tracks to tear up dance floors across the country, they call upon Moran. Moran has never ceased to amaze the Atlanta community with his unique talent and his power to keep the clubs at capacity and the partygoers in a trance on the dance floor all night. Tony Moran draws his strength from the challenges he faced growing up in Brooklyn; drawing a lot of his musical inspirations from the melting pot of creativity that surrounded him. Moran got his early start by gravitating towards the turntables and attracting glow-stick-loving partygoers by the hundreds to his gigs. In the early 80’s, a prominent radio station in New York City noticed Moran and realized what great talent and potential was put in front of them. Struck by fate at the age of 19, Moran collaborated with producer Albert Cabrera being dubbed The Latin Rascals. The pair came together and fused the latest dance beats with a hint of Latin spice to produce
freestyle mixes of club music. The fans exploded and the result of the collaboration was the pop smash Show Me by the Cover Girls. The hit sold over 1 million copies creating mass demand for the up-and-coming young superstar. The success opened doors for Moran. He was immediately remixing for artists ranging from Run-DMC and LL-Cool-J to The Beach Boys and Diana Ross. Moran and Cabrera continued to perform live in clubs and stadiums across the country with Moran in lead vocals. Moran soon followed his calling and decided to develop himself artistically as an individual. Moran began by producing, remixing, and writing music for diverse artist such as Michael Jackson, Gloria Estefan, Cher, Luther Vandross, and Celine Dion to name a few. Since then, Moran has produced 800 titles, dozens of Top 40 pop hits and countless No. 1 dance singles to his credit and he is still not showing a sign of slowing down. The two-time Grammy-Nominated artist is driven as ever and with the creative freedom to develop and evolve his trademark sound on his own terms, there is no stopping him! Tony Moran at Heretic on Saturday May 1. Doors open at 10pm, $10 before 11pm. and $15 after. 2069 Cheshire Bridge Road hereticatlanta.com

Can I just say that Olive Garden commercials are basically the most obnoxious spots ever? First of all, no one who eats at Olive Garden as regularly as the people in the commercials seem to are that thin. Secondly, what kind of amphetamines are these bitches on, and where the hell can I get some? I’ve never in my life been that excited over f*c$ing breadsticks.
