OUT AFRICA MAGAZINE Out Magazine ISSUU 33 | Page 4

FROM THE EDITOR T he summer is finally here and the party season is about to start. And what better way to kick things off than the biggest and best party in the country - MCQP - this year’s party theme is - Dungeons & Dragons - and its happening at the 300-year old Cape Town Castle , which really sets the scene .. Of course being summer and holiday season I take it that your honed and toned body will be seen exposed at all the most popular beaches and resorts around the country, but for those who are more in to strutting their stuff in high fashion - check out what’s trending on the catwalk on the fashion pages... If a more sedate, once in a life-time holiday experience is more your scene, then read up on the No:1 Safari in the World which takes in all those amazing places we’ve all heard and dreamed of - Kilimanjaro, Gorongoza, and the Serengeti where Out of Africa comes to life, in the travel feature on page 3. Our cover features the amazingly talented Jade Esteban Estrada who was recently in Cape Town performing his one man show. Hailing from the USA, Jade performed ICONS: The Lesbian & Gay History of the World Vol. 1. You can get to know Jade on pages 18 & 19. Our second feature looks at Herb Klein’s latest book, which takes a brief look at gay life in the apartheid era and illustrates how, despite the Government’s uncompromising attitude towards gays, life, for some, was a blast. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our readers a happy Christmas, happy holidays and a happy new year!!! To all our advertisers, thank you for your support. Here’s to 2018!!! Till then have fun and be safe whilst you doing it!
