A New Chapter

I am sitting here at work trying to figure out some things. I'm hoping i didn't make a mistake and I'm hoping that my move back here is going to be a productive and beneficial one. I hate it when I work for someone. I mean I like to work for myself....in all aspects. I don't ask people for anything you know? Anyway, I have posted some new features...check them out:


Peculiar Gentlemen


Michael Alan of Artistic Revolution


Andrew Katzander of Poleriders

Lola Santana of Redbuttafly

More Goodies coming your way...also check out our new fashionista nymphette, Miss Kate a la Mode!

Anti-Mag Relaunches....

The Latest

Hello All...I trust you all had a nice holiday weekend, well those here in the United States. I'm working on some new featrues and will be introducing you to Sutherland Boswell, a young and talented photogrpaher as well as the spooferific talents of MC Lars. I just sent out a fresh batch of interviews so let's see what we come up with.

Check out Chef Shaya Klechevskey, one of AM's featured, on The Food Network's, Chopped!

I am in the process of looking for anyone who would like to contribute his writing talents. Please feel free to send me your writing samples and we can get started. Please respond to ladyd@anti-mag.com. I want to try and get some different perspectives, not just mine. I'm Michael Jacksoned out...no offense to the fans and I admired his talents, but I don't need a play by play of his life and death. Moving on....

And So it Goes...

Dear Ocean,

It has been a long time since I've seen your shores. It felt good to see your sandy beach and see the children laughing in your waves. I have not had the serene pleasure of taking off my sandals and entering your vastness in what seems like ages. Although cold at first, I got used to it quite quickly. You felt so good between my toes and up to my calves. How I miss you. How I miss the sound you make at night serenading me to sleep, how I miss the smell of your salty air, and how I miss basking in the sun. It seems odd to miss you, for you are only a few hours away, but here you are not so accessible. My life has become more about concrete and the clacking of high heels on marble floors. I want to have that tranquil feeling again even for a moment. As I watched the sun go down and sat there watching the fireworks, I thought of my youth, my family, and most of all home. It was a moment I put in my pocket for a later time in hopes I will revisit it soon.

Anti-Mag Hits the Airwaves

I don't know if you've heard the rumors, but it's true...I'm getting my own radio spot. It's all very scary actually but I'm hoping to use it as an opportunity to play some great tunes as well as maybe bring on some special guests and it will be a place where I force you to listen to me! Mwahhhhahaahhaaaa! Ok, I promise not to bleed your ears.

So, here are the details:

Every Wednesday night from 8-10pm EST, I will be broadcasting live from the batcave on Mediumrare.com.

Now before I go on with how to do this, please note some things:

1. There will be music that has explicit lyrics so keep this in mind if you have small children or are easily offended. Chances are if you read AM you won't be.
2. I only promote who I want to promote, please don't ask me to promote you or your band.
3. There are other people's shows you should check out on Mediumrare.com. I encourage this fully as they all have great music on their shows. You can go to the site to see the schedule.
4. I encourage you to sign up on perspectives.com and say hello to me and some of the other DJs. We all appreciate the support.

and now for the 411:
The AM Radio Show with Lady D of NYC
8-10pm on Wednesday nights
www.mediumrare.com

IF the website is down and/or you use Windows Media Player, Winamp or iTunes, copy the ff:

2008 Be Gone

I'm going to try very hard not to be Debbie Downer. I just need to let all this stuff out before the new year begins. I am at work and feeling the need to express myself. I'm not in the most festive of moods today...instead I'm emotionally drained. This year has been a whirlwind of disappointing scenarios, unemployment, and emotional upheaval. I have never felt so unstable in all my life and I'm hoping it gets better. I am sure it has to in order to balance it all out. I'm not sure where I'm going or what path I'm suppose to take here, and it's all very opaque to me. I feel like I'm really aging at this point. Either I've been suffering and sacrificing for a grander outcome or this is a downward spiral to an oblivion of hell! I hope everyone else has better luck than me. I am not trying to think I'm the only person in the world, nor are my problems really that extreme. There are people I know that are dying as we speak which pains me, but somehow their station is desirable to me at this time. I sometimes want the sweet release of non-existence in this world...perhaps a figurative death is what I'm referring to here. There are some things I discovered about myself this year:
1. Crazy and neurotic people are attracted to me (mostly women)
2. I have no tolerance for people who do not have self confidence.
3. I do not trust anyone in the music industry....EVER.
4. I am a lover who loves to fight.
5. I threw my brain out the window at the end of the year and went back to thinking with my heart....bad choice but it is what it is.
6. My view of marriage is a bit different than it used to be.
7. I can eat vegetables.
8. I have a texting/facebook addiction.
9. I'm nobody's momma.
10. I can be a lazy bitch.
11. I am not a corporate person.
12. I have the capability to really destroy people's lives.
13. I found that I really like soup.
14. I have a deep deep connection with the music I listen to.
15. I miss traveling.
16. There are people out there who really believe in what I do.
17. I really wish I could help everyone.
18. I take on people's burdens.
19. I really enjoy men...not in "that" way, well yes I do, but mostly in the conversing sort of way. I'm calm when I talk to men it seems.
20. I will never really be the person everyone wants me to be and in that I will hurt some people.

All these things I've accepted. I'm just not sure where to go from here. Should I stay or should I go? Give me 17 back....hell give me back 22 maybe...yeah 22...can I have that back??? Can I have back all my recklessness? Can I have back my life without all this complicated bullshit? Please be kind and rewind?! I know, we all have to grow up sometime. We all need to be RESPONSIBLE...but why? If we're all dying then what difference does it make? Jeesh...ok I'm done...I think I've broken the seal. I can only hope for more transgression in the new year.

FINALLY - ANTI-MAG RETURNS

Hello everyone...it's been so long since I've written anything and I do apologize. I've been busy relaunching Anti-Mag and now it's ready for viewing. There are some small things I'm still working out so forgive any mistakes. I just want to let everyone know I have new features up finally and am proud and honored to have these people join the Anti-Mag family.

I would also like to do some thank yous. One being, Mr. Brian Landis for creating the new AM logo. He rocks and I love his work. Next, I would like to thank Mr. Muffinhead for providing me with the cute logo you see on Suzette Coquettes page. He is remarkably talented and I hope to feature him soon. And last but certainly not least, thank you to all you readers out there who've done nothing but give me support and kind sentiments about the 'zine. It is well received and appreciated. It is also nice to see a number of you at our monthly Thirst Fursday!

Now, without further adieu I give you this month's spotlights.





I'm working on an upcoming event for Miss Michael Quinn of Glampire Deisgn. She creates incredible head pieces. So stay tuned for that update. Hope you enjoy the new site. Feel free to leave comments!
