And now the month of MAY...

It's MAY! May is my absolute favorite month of the year. It has always been a transition period for me in my life. My birthday is this month and I will be another year older. I am very happy right now. I have great friends, a loving family, my health, the ability to see and hear sometimes people take these things for granted but I'm very thankful.

This month is the GLOBAL WARMING Issue. I just felt like being creative because none of the interviews have anything to do with global warming. I chose that as my theme to challenge myself with my photography and graphic design skills. I think you will find this issue the most visually stimulating to date. I wanted to make the month of MAY special. I hope you enjoy it.

I've fallen in love again! Yes, I've fallen in love with Jared Shuler and so has my camera. He graces the cover this month. As you know, Jared is my co-host on The & Show. It just made sense to put him on the cover this month. He has that star quality wouldn't you say? It's crazy I know but hey. He's sexy as shit you have to admit. Tiffany E. Wring interviewed Jared after our Harlem photoshoot a few weeks ago.

This month's FLAWLESS model Rodney Austin is now one of my favorite things. This young man is gorgeous. The day of the photoshoot, it was chilly but like a true model he did his thing anyway. Keep your eyes on this one. You might want to right click and copy his layout to your desktop. I have it on mine and it looks incredible.

My good friend Nathanial Portis gives us a peek into his new novel 'Married to a Married Man'. Make sure you pick up this novel. I hope you enjoy the issue. Have a great month!
