Taking a break from designing powerpoint presentations for accountants, I decided to throw together the innagural issue of TEENBEAR magazine. I believe this is what Conde Nast would refer to as a bad idea. The gays are iffy enough, but marketing to a sub group within a sub group???
I think there should be a scratch n sniff section to get future bears accustomed to the different smells they may encounter at the eagle or other establishment of choice. Pinups could include leather pageant winners across the 50 states. And a calander of events would promote various teenbear events in the metro area. MiniSNAXX could be one of the advertisers - a new teen only party also thrown at the West Side Tavern - but upstairs. The few straights up to there weren't having that good a time anyway.
If anyone has any ideas for articles, please post them ASAP.
Um, can you hook me up with that guy? Shanky.

Woof.
But, I must agree...it's more teen cub than teen bear.
But hey, we bears must all go through our cub phases...luv to help that guy through his.

My feeling is that if he lusts after bears, and aspires to be a bear himself, then he IS a bear in spirit, and the antithesis of twinkdom, chest hair or no.

Is it just me, or does that look like Andrew Sullivan's mouth?

HA! Sullivan only *wishes* that cover boy was him; he's about 60 pounds shy of Andrew. I saw dude on the TV about a week ago and he's really let himself go. He looks like Bernard Kerik with a beard. It's kinda sad cause he used to be sorta cute. Now, he's a a fat-necked porker.

Topics? How about a.) the lost communication technique of back pocket colored handkerchiefs and a helpful guide for teen bears to decode them, b.) Celebrity Happy Trails (if they even exist), c.) Teen Lumberjack pictorial, d.) 'Tommy' of Finland (i.e. before he was Tom).
I'm not even into bears... this just sounded like fun.
