“We’re very excited about the November issue because it marks some significant changes for the magazine,” says Executive Editor Rick Andreoli.  “We’re now shooting original covers and layouts based on a specific editorial theme. In this case, the cover features two hot nude men, but it’s not about porn or the porn industry.” Adding to the uniqueness of the November issue is the way it’s presented: exclusive video interviews with Diesel Washington are shown on Unzipped.net, while the nude photo sets are only available in the print edition. Says Andreoli: “People think Web and print are mutually exclusive, but we’re proving with this issue that we can create a multi-platform gay publication that readers are going to eagerly seek out.”

Check out the exciting digital issue release today on www.Unzipped.net. The print edition hits newsstands and will be available in select bookstores today, Tuesday, October 13, 2009.

These are the people Unzipped magazine is looking to spotlight with its Biggest Porn Fan contest. Announced in the October issue of Unzipped, readers are encouraged to send in photos of their collections and write a 200 word paragraph on why they are the biggest porn fans ever. Unzipped readers will then vote on their choice for the best erotic enthusiast.

“We see Unzipped as the next generation of gay media, bringing together print, internet, and original video programming,” says Rick Andreoli, Executive Editor of Unzipped Media. “Being able to spotlight fans– the people who actually make the adult industry function– is one of the greatest ways that we can combine all of these areas in one complete package.”

Once the Biggest Porn Fan is chosen, Unzipped will send a porn star and camera crew to the winner’s house for an exclusive photo shoot. The winner
isn’t required to appear on camera. They will be interviewed and their collection photographed as a backdrop for the porn star. The winning fan will be revealed in the April 2010 issue of Unzipped.

Over the past 25 years Unzipped Media, including the Men, Freshmen, and Unzipped brands, has built an iconic media presence celebrating the male form. The company’s website, www.Unzipped.net, reflects Unzipped Media’s forward-looking strategy of bringing the Unzipped brand to a wider, tech-savvy audience.
