KAISERIN
January 29, 2008
I admire endeavors which go against current trends. As we all know, print media is dying, if not already dead. The numbers will tell you that while people are still reading the paper, older folks have it in their hands and younger folks have it on their screens. It’s the same wordset but one costs nothing and doesn’t add to landfills. So when I’m poking around for my next find, a new half page BUTT Magazine-like art/design mag with naked scruffy men reassures me that while print will never die, it’s circulation will become smaller and more valuable. “KAISERIN: A Magazine for Boys with Problems,” is a bi-annual publication in English and French. Issue 03 is out now and people are already collecting it. With early issues of BUTT going for more than $100 on ebay, now is your chance. Need more? You already know about Girls Like Us. Kink (men) and Marikink (women) are more photos and less text for those on the go. K48 is more on the punk side of publication and usually includes a CD. The nakedness is more scarce in this one but it’s thick with visual art and they have a blog. Happy reading!
