SSI EDITIORS NOTES
Wow, what a ride! When Chuck Neauenbaur, owner of Swimwear
Illustrated, suggested I take over Swimwear Illustrated Magazine and its
web site, plus the operations I jumped at the chance. (Joe Goodwin and I
formed Red Comet Studios earlier this year to take on projects just like SSI.)
To have the opportunity to take a traditional T & A genre magazine and
transform it into a young-at-heart lifestyle Fashion Magazine. SSI will be
devoted to covering beach locations, and beach fun resort wear, vacation
activities and young-at-heart adventures. SSI will now be adding men and
menswear along with maintaining the traditional beautiful women and
their health and beauty tips. We, at SSI, are also creating an outlet for up
and coming models and photographers to display their work and promote
themselves worldwide. So, we will always welcome contributions from new
people and suggestions from all.
Swimsuit Illustrated Magazine, is a state of the art, social media
friendly, web-based internet magazine with the ability to view it on your
social media devices, at home on your desktop or web enabled TV’s. You
can also print it on your home computer or have the choice of a hard copy
printed collectors edition. Stayed tuned on where you can Order it! Since we
are dedicated to you, our loyal SwimSuit Illustrated fans,we will are giving
away our first couple of issues!
Swimsuit Illustrated Magazine will constantly be looking for new
designers, models and photographers, that are on the cutting edge of what
“real” active women and men are wearing and enjoying at the beach. Not
just the gorgeous vacation beaches of the world. But what is being worn at
the rivers and lakes of the Czech Republic, the ponds of Maine, the high
mountain streams of Colorado, and the watering holes of the South. Where
ever people enjoy the fun beach lifestyle.
SSI will now be printed and distributed on the first day of each season
to celebrate the coming of change.
I want to mention with a heavy heart, the passing of our friend and
former owner of Swimsuit Illustrated Magazine, Chuck Neauenbaur. Please
see the wonderful tribute that our friend, Lola Estelle, wrote about the
special relationship that we all had with Chuck and how much he meant to
her. For me, Chuck gave me the chance to take over this magazine and we
had fun working and playing together. Chuck had a tough outsider manner
to some, but to me he was a big kid who loved to help people and give new
people a break. He mentioned to me more than once, that he wanted to open
an orphanage in Mexico, to help the street kids get a chance at a good life
and career. Chuck, you are truly missed by many and I am impressed by
how many life long friends you have.
Now more fun news. We, at Red Comet Studios, have decided to start
publishing a sister magazine to SSI, JORNH. It will be focusing on the
Fashions of a young attitude and style. Fresh new models and a young
lifestyle. We will cover club wear to outdoor wear, hiking boots to hip club
shoes, designer wear to vintage recycled clothing, plus, accessories and
creative fashion tips. Look forward to JORNH in your e-mail.
We, at Red Comet Studios and Swimsuit Illustrated Magazine, are
proud of this issue and hope you enjoy it. We are pleased to introduce our
new advertisers, models, and photographers, to our global market and
looking forward to creating this opportunity for our future friends.
Have fun at the “Beach”!
