Carrie Leigh's NUDE Magazine
Does this magazine still exist? Never received saubscription issues...can't reach anyone at the website. Anyone know anyone affiliated? Apr 23 12 05:41 pm Link I think they no longer exist. Fine by me. They came to me looking to publish some of my stuff -- took a whole bunch, did an interview, then disappeared. No email replies, didn't answer the phone, nuthin'. Apr 23 12 05:50 pm Link Stephen Thorne wrote: sheesh, i'm glad i wasn't the only one they did that to. i never got the interview, but they did request full-res images. i found a couple of issues on the news stands, but i think they ran out of funds to continue publishing. Apr 23 12 06:34 pm Link Funny...they didn't run out of taking my money for a subscription...complete with a thank you e-mail verification! Apr 23 12 06:36 pm Link sent a PM - Apr 23 12 06:42 pm Link silverystars wrote: Yeah, I've heard of several people they did that to. High-res files, the whole deal. They even gave me two publication dates. Apr 23 12 06:46 pm Link Website still exists, I'm friends with 2 photographers (and the models) who have been featured in it... Apr 23 12 07:09 pm Link Website exists, but email bounces back and all info is current through 2010 Apr 23 12 07:14 pm Link Stephen Thorne wrote: IIRC the good Doctor https://www.modelmayhem.com/533844 is/was editor, you might contact her ...

Apr 23 12 07:34 pm Link & so is yours! - are we still on for a beer when you visit? Apr 23 12 07:34 pm Link John Horwitz wrote: Sure. Am I visiting??? LOL Apr 23 12 07:55 pm Link LOL - we talked briefly about it several years ago Apr 23 12 08:08 pm Link John Horwitz wrote: LOL. Well, if I make a pilgrimage to Jordan Country, I'll definitely look you up! Apr 23 12 08:17 pm Link Please do - now off to meet a lovely 12 year old Scotch!

LOL Apr 23 12 08:31 pm Link the Scotch is here now - OK....I'll buy you a Scotch Apr 23 12 08:32 pm Link I thought I should pop in and break up the fun that might be happening in regards to this liquor talk!

Can't speak to their business practices..... but I liked the magazine. Apr 23 12 09:01 pm Link I was checking out that magazine earlier this year and found an entire spread on my photographer friend. I called her up and was like, "Why didn't you tell me you got a whole spread in the magazine?" She's said, "What magazine? What are you talking about?" Apr 23 12 09:05 pm Link The beautiful work in the magazine is a credit to the fotogs and models who gave freely of themselves to appear in it. It'd be nice if someone associated with the publication stepped up and explained themselves. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my experience of the way they operate. Apr 23 12 09:07 pm Link ShootBare wrote: You're not alone. Apr 23 12 09:12 pm Link I took out a subscription last year and never received an issue. Thanks to American Express, I got a full refund. Apr 23 12 09:18 pm Link Stephen Thorne wrote: People have asked me to respond here. If you look around you at the recession and the general state of libraries and bookstores and publishers all over the world, you will realize that NUDE's distribution system went under. Barnes Apr 23 12 10:18 pm Link That's all great - but if they're "down" why did they take my money today for a subscription that is supposed to be quarterly? Shouldn't they stop taking money until they intend to produce a product? Even moreso- why is there no one on site to answer questions? Apr 23 12 11:04 pm Link Huh. So the post office cut delivery days, and that is why the magazine can't send subscribers the product they paid for. I will remember that one the next time I sell something online. Funny how all my other magazine subscriptions, like National Geographic, still seem to make it into my mailbox, not to mention the clothes I order out of catalogs. Yes, the mag is nice and I always enjoy perusing it. That's a damn shame though that whomever is running it is stealing people's money. I actually thought these reports were all unsubstantiated but then a rep came in all unapologetic, full of excuses-- what is that about?!? Apr 24 12 07:39 am Link If you take the money - deliver the product... Apr 24 12 07:53 am Link THANK YOU !!! Apr 24 12 07:57 am Link or - REFUND Apr 24 12 08:32 am Link Can't even ask for a refund as the only answer you get from anyone is the thanks for your money note!!! Everything else bounces back!! So frustrating!! Apr 24 12 08:42 am Link Lots of folks have tried starting up a magazine featuring nude photography -- Jeff Dumas' "Collection" comes to mind. These magazines have a higher failure rate than "G" or "PG" magazines, but fewer advertisers are willing to place ads in a "R" rated mag. They all fail, and when they do, there often isn't enough money to inform the subscribers, let alone refund any money. Bankrupt is bankrupt -- it is likely that no one gets a refund. Apr 24 12 08:46 am Link You could try a claim for 'Mail-Fraud' and at the very least be in line IF and WHEN the rag starts to publish again OR you could ask the spokesperson ( above ) to do you a solid...since that person thinks so highly of Carrie. IMHO - Absent a refund or the actual rag itself it is not much more than common theft! Apr 24 12 08:50 am Link John Horwitz wrote: It's just mail fraud. Plain old, legally actionable mail fraud. Apr 24 12 08:55 am Link Carrie - LOL - guess she was 'intelligent' enough to take the money & run!
