The following is from Scott McGillivray (website) the editor for BEEF Magazine (website - articles - profile): "100% BEEF Magazine, the successor to the masculine-identified publishing legacy established by the now-defunct Original BEAR Magazine (website - articles) has just released it's 40th Edition. To mark this occasion, and signal the magazine's exciting forward momentum, BEEF has converted to a full-color format!

'It was time', says Editor and Co-publisher Scott McGillivray in his page one 'From the Editor' remarks in the 40th Edition of BEEF, adding, 'black and white was fun, and it allowed us to transition from where we were, pay homage to our beginnings, and continue the aesthetic of... the magazine from which we came, pretty seamlessly'.

BEEF focuses on the identities and lifestyles of adult, masculine-identified men and Bears. It was launched in May '02 by a group of friends after their swift departure from the hugely popular, but poorly managed and now-defunct original BEAR Magazine. Excited to continue the publishing legacy, but also eager to broaden the definitions and masculine sexual identities which the original Bear Magazine helped to popularize, co-publishers Scott McGillivray and Larry Woolwine forged a publishing alliance titled after the homoerotic term 'beefcake'.

From its first issue, 100% BEEF broke new erotic ground by injecting art, humor and satire into the masculine erotic mix, and by featuring models and materials that, many argued at the time, staunchly challenged some of the rigid parameters which had defined their publishing predecessor's pages".

Editor of magazine Beef Mag (website) Scott McGillivray (website - profile) is letting us know that their 40th issue will soon be out for Dec / Jan. And good news, they have now switched to all color throughout the magazine. You see that thumbnail image of Roger (enlarge - galleries - profile)...? That's our ad that will be showing up in their mag. A huge thanks to Scott for designing it.

In other news - they are starting to making plans for their very first 100 BEEF weekend at the Canyon Club Resort in Palm Springs over Memorial Day Weekend 2009. There's not many details as of now but we'll keep you informed as we get more.

Lastly, Scott is wishing to inform all that BEEF is in no way associated with the 'new' BEAR magazine (website - profile). For those who don't know, Scott was the editor for BEAR but this was when the magazine was owned by Brush Creek Media. Recently, the group Bear Omnimedia (website) has acquired the rights to the 'BEAR' trademark, yet they are not affiliated in any way.

ps - here's the full sized image of that thumbnail pic of Roger.

The latest issue of BearParty Mag is out (website - articles - profile). It is their summer edition (from July to September). The following is from their current issue: "Don't pronounce the name of our Summer CoverBear like the tragic hero of the popular Shakespeare play. It's pronounced Ro-MAY-oh. But however you say it, Romeio's one hot Bear! In this issue you can see more pictures of him, along with stories about leather mentor and author Blade T. Bannon, and the productive team behind Bear Omnimedia (website - articles). We've also got the final chapter of Ken Slater's popular guide to hooking up online, a new episode of the Frankie & Roque comic strip, a history of the 'red rum' Shanghai Cocktail, and all the rest of our usual features.

It's the 'Summer of Love' all over again in California. Bears and other same-sex couples are enjoying the newly recognized right to marry, bringing California into sync with much of the rest of the civilized world in its support for gay marriage. Among the hundreds of Bears enjoying this new reality is the editor of the popular Bear-oriented adult magazine 100 Percent Beef ( website  - articles - profile), Scott McGillivray (website - articles), whom we profiled in the last issue of BearParty Magazine. On June 17th '08, Scott was married to Gregory Bessmer, his partner since 1996, in Riverside, CA. Wouldn't it be exciting to publish a social registry, to commemorate the furry nuptials being celebrated by Bears all over the world? Let’s all join together to wish the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness together. Woof!".

His name is Scott McGillivray and many of you might know him as the editor of Beef Magazine (website). He was also editor of Bear Magazine way back. He now has his very own website called RustySpot Design. From his site: "I've been doing graphic design and desktop publishing work for over a decade now, and I still get a huge kick out of visualizing peoples' ideas. I frequently develop logos and identity graphics, print ads, magazine design, catalog and program design as well as product packaging, posters, signs, clothing and apparel graphics". Check out some of his logos and print ads he has done, so make sure to contact him if you have anything Bearish you'd like to see professionally handled when it comes to logo-ing.
