The End of Print Editions of _On Our Backs_ and _Girlfriends Magazine_?
A little birdie told me that On Our Backs and Girlfriends Magazine are being sold to an online media company, and that this sale may mean the end of print editions of the magazines. Is this true? I don’t know, but I just emailed HAF Publishing to see what I can find out.
Update (04/06/06 01:11): It’s true. Press release coming soon.
Hi there,
That is what I heard too. The scoop on Girlfriends magazine not being printed anymore was noted in AfterEllen here: http://www.afterellen.com/column/2006/3/10.html
What ever happened to curling up with a good paper magazine with great pictures? I’m glad Curve is still my mag of choice & is still in print.
Thanks for the link, Paula! I was looking around for info for a while and couldn’t find anything. It doesn’t seem that this got a lot of press.
I have tried to contact HAF to no avail.Their number is disconnecetd.
Does anyone know the online media company that bought HAF?
I want to talk to them about getting a refund. I had just bought a subscription to Girlfriends and got one magazine. Looks like I may have paid $30 for one magazine which doesnt seem right to me.
Seems you are not alone amytate. I also paid $30 for one issue of On Our Backs. Then I received a replacement magazine called velevetpark. Is is not even close to being of equal value. Velvet park is boring and political. Quite honestly I ordered On Our Backs for naked girls and fetish interests. Not to mention a subscription to On Our Backs is $24.95 and velvetpark is only $16. So I have been emailing everyone and their mother. No one wants to give a refund. I told velvetpark to keep their lame magazine. Please lemme know if you have any luck with the refund. Thankx
