NO magazine is the latest New Zealand breed popular culture magazine to pleasure our shelves . After Pavement's kick in the bum and a boot out the door, loyal readers were left disoriantated and many contemplated the idea of a cult suicide. But alas, Fraser McGregor has returned to our matte, perfected, comfort zone world with friend Delaney Taborn. With 160 pages oozing out ink of success, 35 somethings including tasteful articles, colour enchanting editorials and a new season of interviews, we tear off our mourning faces and welcome the new born. What gives NO my magazine review virginity is the brillance of how each section is linked to the next, like a consistant chain as strong as a smoking addiction - it is tough to be broken and has the potential to influence a perfect stranger and eventually find it's way toward you.
This is our first time. And yours too, obviously. That's what this issue is all about: people doing things for the first time. Some of them you'll have heard of. Some of them you won't. Some of them you probably even know, which is kind of the point behind NO. No shit. No worries. No name, just a number. Some people think we're crazy for starting a magazine at a time when digital media is surging an, as a result, traditional media is dwindling. But the fact that the world's getting smaller, closer, more intimate all the time is what NO magazine wants to celebrate. We want to help you see how we're all connected, how very little distance there is between us. How we success and screw up, what we love, hate, think about, laugh at, worry about, ignore, hide and reveal. And we want to do it in a form that you can't accidentally delete, that won't get lost in your inbox, in a form you can hang on to, pass on, rip pages out of and look back on in the future and be surprised at who, in the pages to follow, you've come into contact with since.
Choice! Minus the fact I feel like a total fuckwit having my excuse for a review on the internet.
NO magazine is ten dollars, basically free and issue one can be picked up with either Taylor Warren or Dita Von Teese on either one of the two existing covers (I got Taylor Warren). In Wellington I suggest purchasing it at Magnetix in Midland Park (say hi to Olwyn - buy a coffee) or Real Groovy on Cuba Street.
