Amber on cover of Curve magazine

[hells bells]

to all the Aussie Brisbane folks out there....i managed to get Curve in McGills! yay!!! lol...fancy that in a little (well not THAT little hehe) far far away from the USofA...we have it hehehehe. What can I say, I love McGills! hehehe...they have Curve!



i'm so happy...this week has been a funfilled Amber week

[Jennpurr]

I called my local Barnes and Noble to see if they had this mag. They do.



Here's the funny part, or... cool part, which ever you percieve it as.



Before I got off the phone with the guy at the store, he goes: "Oh and by the way, that's a good magazine." Hee...



Part of me wonders if he was being honest, or just trying too hard to be nice about the whole lesbian thing. What do you guys think? Either way... I thought it was very cool.



I so can't wait to get my hands on this magazine.



Is it just me, or does the cover not really look like Amber? Or is it because she's thinner, that it doesn't really look like her?

I actually found a couple of copies of the magazine at a newsstand in South Dakota, of all places. I mean, that’s not the first place that comes to my mind when I think of locations to buy a lesbian magazine. After seeing the photo scans, I just had to get my hands on a copy of this issue; I guess it’s a tactile thing. Anyway, Amber looks absolutely gorgeous in glossy color, so if there are any South Dakota kittens out there, your opportunity to buy this magazine is now here.

Got my copy today (hard to keep myself from buying every single copy of it... ). What a great interview! I hope lots of people go to the website and order Chance. The more, the better!

alia16 - no need to be afraid. I snagged an extra copy at Barnes and Noble and would be happy to send it to you if you are still looking for the magazine. Give me an e-mail: eltonsgod@aol.com

[fredric modlic]

thanks for the info hells bells - good to know it's actually in aus, anybody seen it in perth, at all? just wondering, it's very rare that anything this good makes it's way to perth, but i'd love to get my hands on it

I said to myself, "Self..."

Jennpurr ~



Yeah, I was a bit surprised by the pictures as well. Not so much with the cover photo but the one with the brown jacket. Not that she doesn't look great or anything like that. It just surprised me a bit. It could also be the type of makeup she's wearing as well.

[hells bells]

Jenn & liquid: yeah, my friend said the same thing....something about her looking different. I thought that amber did look kinda different...like she looked older, really professional and kinda serious in the pictures....i like them, they show a different facet of her that we don't see in the usual magazine shots



hells.

[Jennpurr]

Well, I went and got my mag today. I went up to the counter and told the man that I had called last night and the guy I spoke too said he would hold the mag for me.



The guy at the counter said, "That's weird. We usually don't hold magazines."



I thought that was both weird that the guy last night DID hold it and that they usually don't. Still puzzled as to why he did then.



Anyway...





Amber looks gorgeous! I love that woman. The only picture I didn't like very much was the cover. She's beautiful, don't get me wrong... it just doesn't really look like her.



I'm not complaining though.



Hee...

God, what a class act she is...and very diplomatic, I might add.



I'll be very curious to see if she has anything further to say in November's BtVS Magazine "Willow" issue, that is supposed to have interviews with both she and Alyson. Could be very interesting.



Today I actually went and bought the magazine and, may I say, the pictures of Amber are beautiful!!! She looks absolutely STUNNING!!!!!



It also sounds like she's keeping busy career wise which I am very happy about. She is an amazing human being and deserves nothing but the best.

[kajo 2000]

sfgo2003: I previously posted this in the General Amber and Aly tidbit thread but the Willow-centric November 2003 issue of the UK Official Buffy Magazine is already on sale here and there is no Amber interview in it. But perhaps the US edition of the magazine has a slightly different content and may contain one?





Edited to add: There is no new interview with Aly in the magazine either - just the comments that she made at the Buffy Wrap Party that have already been reported elsewhere.

I'm so happy! I finally managed to track down the magazine last night. I went to the mall with a few friends and I walk into B. Dalton and there it was.



Amber looks gorgeous in all of the pictures.



She makes my heart flutter.



I went and bought it right on the spot and I thanked heaven that I had money.

[Shinnen]

Amber looks to die for... is there anyone who's willing to purchase and send a copy to me ?? I'll send cash to the good soul Curve mag is banned in my country.

She's the most amazing girl in the whole world. She's the only girl who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. When I'm not with her, I'm not living. I'm not existing until I can hold her in my arms again.

[intricate mirage]

Shinnen! Curve mag banned in your country too? I'm in the same situation too **sulks** No Amber goodness for me either. So yes, if there are any kind souls out there who could also help me out by doing me this big favour of purchasing it and sending it over I'll be forever indebted to you

[willowsgirl]

I havent seen any copies of 'curve' where I live, dont even know if theyd have it anywhere here in england! Nevertheless, Ive just spent a good few minutes checking out the pics and I have to say that my fave part out of all 3 is...



the little bit of Amber tummy you can see in the 1st pic. Yum!!



willowsgirl xx

[WillowPowered]

Oh I'm sorry was I staring???? Who can blame me when she looks so darn sexy.



A couple of people have said she looks different, I think she does too. I think it is because I am so used to seeing her smile (what a gorgeous smile it is too!!). But with these she has the whole serious, almost pouty thing going on. And the one where she looks serious but has a hint and I mean the tiniest hint of her famous half grin - WOW



I also think she looks very relaxed about the whole thing, probably something to do with the fact her sis took the pics????



I still haven't got the mag and I'm not sure if I will because actually having those pics in my hot little hands could be hazardous to my health.

Such is the radiance and beauty wielded by Amber, reflected and enhanced by her sister Danielle's exquisite photography, that it compels straight men, such as myself, to purchase lesbian magazines from their local Barnes and Noble.

As has been mentioned before, there is something comfortingly tactile about holding the magazine in one's hands and gazing rapturously at the photos of our fair Amber.

My favourite is still the one where her long brown hair twines around her neck and across her shoulder like a spiral staircase.

I did do the Woody Allen bit and buy a couple of other magazines to balance out Curve but fortunately the clerk didn't get on the P.A. System and announce they needed a price check on "America's most popular lesbian magazine" to the entire store, as the person did with the porn mags in that classic Woody Allen bit from his early stand-up days.

[Iamyouknowyours]

Shinnen, Willow's girl and Intricate marriage-I already bought out Barnes and Noble's supply of the magazine, but I will try to swing by Borders and see if they have any copies left. If they do I will be happy to send them to you.

[jixer]

Hello Kittens-



My Borders had one lone copy left this afternoon. Does anyone know if this is an unusually well selling issue of Curve?





Jixer

[emma peel]

jixer, if any other kittens are like me they are buying at least two copies. I bought 4 at Borders, then purchased two more at my work when I saw we carried Curve, then purchased three more spontaneously at work. I sent two to a friend, along with a VHS copy of Chance, for a birthday present. I plan on keeping the other copies for myself just because it seems like a good idea.

So, maybe this is an unusually well selling issue of Curve.

I see someone has already started auctioning it off on eBay- , which is something I personally wouldn't do.

Janice

[molsongrrrl]

not sure i understand what is wrong with auctioning it on ebay -- perhaps some folks who don't have outlets near them that carry curve would like to find a copy of this and ebay is where they will find it ...

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of Truth and Love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it, always.

[emma peel]

molsongrrrl, point well taken when you write:



perhaps some folks who don't have outlets near them that carry curve would like to find a copy of this and ebay is where they will find it ...

-----------------------------------------

Sometimes I forget that some folks don't have access to all the Amber internet info that I do, and I sometimes forget that eBay isn't just about sellers making bucks from a buyer. I should know 'cause I've purchased much non-Amber stuff from eBay that I couldn't find available elsewhere.

Thanks for that perspective, molsongrrrl.

Janice

[Iamyouknowyours]

Ok, I snagged three copies from Tower (and seriously considered buying the other remaining copy as well, but then again I figured I had already taken every Curve within a twenty mile radius, so....) Shinnen, Willow's Girl and Intricate Marriage give me an email at eltonsgod@aol.com and let me know where to send them. I will do my best to get them mailed out over the next week or so.



Rats, now I'm thinking of going back and buying the other copy for another Amber loving friend of mine. I am going to buy out all the copies!

[WebWarlock]

Well the two Border's books I go to are sold out here in Suburbia.



Get these will they are hot.

Hi!

i haven't got the chance to get the mag, as i'm living in a french-speaking city... but the interview is really . wow! i won't ever get enough of Amber..! I've just seen that there's an interview with Tegan and Sara also, anyone read it? i really love their songs!

Jen

[intricate mirage]

Iamyouknowyours - First and foremost... here's a BIG THANKS! Next, I tried sending you an email, but there was this automatically generated email back to me telling me that the email failed to deliver. Maybe your inbox is full or something? I'm not sure, but do let me know if there's another way I could send you the shipping details. Thanks.

Cassie - Hmmm, that's strange. Maybe it thought you were spam? Great, my computer lets in spam and shuts out real messages. Go AOL. I sent you an email myself, so hopefully that will go through. If not be sure to post again and we'll figure out another way. Maybe through AOL instant messenger or something if you have a screenname? One way or another I'll get the magazine to you.

-Jules

[intricate mirage]

Jules, got your email. But AOL doesn't seem to want anything from my hotmail account. Lol. But I've replied you via another account. I haven't gotten any weird message telling me it ain't going through so... Hope it works this time. Let me know if you didn't receive the mail this time around

[sam7777]

Web Warlock: Yep. Get them while they are hot. Just a week ago there was a big stack and now it's down to three at my local Borders.



Took it up to the counter and the women behind the counter said "you have a wide range of taste in magazines". Guess not everyone buys Curve and Modelers Resource. I told her I was a renaissance kinda person. BTW the check out the link to Modelers Resource for a look at a wild cover.



ETA: Flipped thru it and Amber interview notwithstanding, I must agree with Xita's assessment "cause eh curve, yuck". It's nice to have the Amber pix but I don't think I will pick up Curve again.
