I’m
gushing over the recent and brilliant additions to Lexington’s magazine scene.
Whenever I’m in a coffee shop, at a boutique, or passing by a community table,
I am delighted by the growing abundance of well-written, socially aware,
entertaining and locally chic magazines.
Written
by Lexingtonians for Lexingtonians, these magazines celebrate the city’s
evolving artistic and cultural scene. My favorite fashion magazine, Mour showcases runaway inspired
ensembles that can be found and bought at local boutiques. My most recent
reading obsession, Flashpoint focuses
on the city’s rising social and artistic conscious by highlighting cutting edge
artists and musicians.
I’m
also keeping an eye out for the first issue of Miss’ing Magazine, a Lexington feminist magazine due to come out at
the beginning of next month. Miss’ing seeks
to address and engage the community on local issues concerning oppression,
inequality and injustice. The magazine will be a voice for the disempowered
while also nurturing connections between organizations and individuals
dedicated on promoting equality.
These
magazines offer a new perspective on my native city, opening my eyes to the
talent and unique beauty that surrounds me. I am continually inspired by the
passionate and dedicated individuals who are featured in the magazines,
reaffirming the significance one person can make in his/her community.
Lexington
is up and coming. Lexington is still in the process of establishing itself in
the Cool and Hip scene. This is the adolescent, or perhaps postgrad stage of
hope and dreams. As a local, it’s so delightful and wondrous to witness this
change and to be a part of it. And I will be part of this city’s evolution by
staying up to date on all things local by continuing to be an avid reader of
Lexington’s very own magazines.
Hey,
hey! Check them out either in print or in digital style!
