Fugue [pronounced (fy-oog)]

If you have to tell me how to pronounce it, then you’ll have to tell me what it means. In this day and age if you have to explain the magazine’s name you’re in trouble. The editors “are more concerned with quality and provoking thought before adhering to trends.” This lifestyle magazine features music, fashion and art that is far from mainstream. Fugue is a good oasis to rest eyes and stimulate your mind. Wander down to the newsstand and grab Fugue but don’t forget where you live.

The Green

As you reach fame and fortune there is only one color people see – green. Rafael Martinez, publisher of The Green, had this in mind when creating the name. Green represents, of course, the color of a golf course but it also represents money and the fact that “regardless of skin color people can achieve anything their hearts desire.” So who would be better than having Tiger Woods on the cover? Well, the most recognizable name in sports, Michael Jordan, that’s who.

Sitting in “The Clubhouse,” readers can get the latest news and read up on the latest and greatest equipment. While most of us dream of driving Bentleys and Aston Martins, the audience of The Green, can actually go buy these “Boots For Your Bags” after they read about them. After driving through articles that inspire, readers can lounge in “The 19th Hole” and read about exquisite Cigars and premium drinks. This magazine is the country club of golf magazines and all for $4.99 or $19.99 to have six issues delivered. If rain has postponed your tee time, pick up a copy of The Green, and enjoy all the things you love about golf vicariously.

Real Magazine

Looking for fantasy? Well, you will not find it here. Real and simple (pun intended) seem to be the new catch phrase in magazine publishing.

Its articles feature real women, real diets, real life and sharing real life with others. You wont feel intimidated by perfect sized models and million dollar homes reading this magazine.

Sauce Magazine

Bar hopping, especially international bar hopping, can be a very expensive endeavor. However, for $4.97 you can, not only visit some of the best bars in the world, but will get the recipes for new cocktails, drinking games, drunk stories and conversation starters. No, this is not a budget trip that you can book on Travelocity. It’s Sauce Magazine, the magazine for discerning drinkers. Thinking and drinking is there a better combo? They even put it in the correct order, because you can’t think to clearly after drinking, unless you are a wine drinker. Apparently, wine drinkers have higher IQs than beer or liquor drinkers (p6). So if you are a little hung over from last night, hit the Sauce and cure what ails you.
