Owned all other published works this month. Despite not being as awesome as the Shaolin Special (back issues which I must soon purchase) it was pretty good.

One complaint . . . why was PINK on the cover? There was a gung fu dude, with a backround of PINK. Deary me, I felt that I had to roll the magazine up as I carried it to the checkout so's no one would think I had a copy of "Seventeen" or "Cosmo" something.

Ask any of my office mates here, I have big issues against pink on the cover. In fact, your post here will strengthen my continual campaign against pink.

It really isn't supposed to be pink, it's supposed to be red. All the covers here are red, but red can be tricky sometimes. Because it's at the end of the spectrum, it's one of the most delicate colors for printing. At least it's not flaming pink like some of the recent covers of our competitors.

[GeneChing]

...I've deleted the extra two - I have no idea why it posted three. Must be the power of pink...

[norther practitioner]

Power of Pink?


Gene you are a bit behind the times.. that whole women's rights thing is old.. lol

And I'm sure you've done a piece on the top chicas in kf..... if not that might be the only time to do pink again.

Aerosmith Pink lyrics
Pink - it's my new obsession
Pink - it's not even a question,
Pink - on the lips of your lover
(oh)
'Cause Pink is the love you discover

Pink - as the bing on your cherry
Pink - 'cause you are so very
Pink - it's the color of passion
Ah, 'cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink - it was love at first sight
Yeah, Pink - when I turn out the light
And Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink - it's the new kinda of lingo
Pink - like a deco umbrella
It's kink that you don't ever tell her

Pink - it was love at first sight
And Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

Yeah!

I want to be your lover
I, I wanna wrap you in rubber
And it's pink as the sheets that we lay on
'Cause Pink - it's my favorite crayon

Yeah!

Pink - it was love at first sight
Pink - when I turn out the light
Pink - it's like red but not quite
And I think, everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

It should hereby be known that whenever someone puts up Aerosmith lyrics, that poster officially owns that thread.

We did something on the Women in Wushu back in Oct Nov 1997, but we put a monk on that cover ironically, no pink. Women actually do poorly on our cover in terms of newsstand sales. FWIW, our magazine had female editors for years. We still have a female publisher, but wasn't Playboy published by Hef's daughter for a while?

As for Aerosmith, Steve Tyler could not be on the cover (David Lee Roth would get jealous). But I'd put Liv on the cover in a 'got qi?' shirt, if I could.

[norther practitioner]

Yeah, that'd do something for sales...

[GeneChing]

It would have to be on the newsstands now, so we missed our chance for a got qi? elf princess. Alas.

[norther practitioner]

Yeah, but you could always get the followup story about the cirque du solie (sp?).... put them on the cover....

[Starchaser107]

anyone in particular from cirque de solie ....hmmnnn

[GeneChing]

...they did accept several of the candidates we referred to them for the new show, including He Jingde, his wife (whose name I can't remember right now), Rory Bratter and the Haight sisters. They're all up there now training. Would that make the cover? Do they use a lot of pink in that show?

[norther practitioner]

I was speaking of the sisters....



Um, I know some of my friends are big fans...
