Jonathan Groff Covers FourTwoNine's Boys of Summer Issue

Via friend and FourTwoNine editor Kevin Sessums' Facebook page:

Here is a sneak preview of my next cover of FourTwoNine magazine with Jonathan Groff on the cover photographed by Damon Baker. I decided to give you two Groff looks on newsstands. You decide which one to buy. I have themed the issue The Boys of Summer. Inside you'll see hot photos not only of Jonathan, but also the San Francisco Giants' Hunter Pence, American Ballet Theatre's Herman Cornejo and Roberto Bolle, Broadway is represented by Hamilton's Daveed Diggs and The King and I's Conrad Ricamora, Mercy for Animal's Nathan Runkle, The Riker Brothers photograph themselves, Stephen Busken photographs two of the hottest tattooed skateboarders from Venice Beach and Malibu, Jack Pierson is represented with five pages of his new work from his show opening this summer at Cheim & Read ( John Cheim's great gallery) and there are lots of hot models in the 25 pages of fashion.

Four Two Nine Ready for Take-Off

Had a great time last night at the launch party for Four Two Nine magazine. Although editor in chief Kevin Sessums didn't make it in from San Francisco -- where the publication is based -- saw a bunch of familiar faces at No. 8 (the former home of Chelsea's XL, I realized!), and met even more. (That's Tim up top, a 24-year-old aspiring actor from the Philly area.) Look for a smiling Andy Cohen and Sarah Jessica Parker on your local newsstand, or to subscribe, click HERE.

FourTwoNine Magazine Makes 'Friends' With Premiere Issue

If you contributed to the Kickstarter campaign for the new LGBT magazine FourTwoNine then you'll be happy to know the premiere issue just went to press. (The theme of Issue 1 is frienship.) Gracing its cover are Andy Cohen and Sarah Jessica Parker, who discuss their longtime membership in the Mutual Admiration Society. The debut also covers the friendships of Calvin Trillin/Larry Kramer and Thom Browne/Andrew Bolton, as well as articles by Salman Rushdie, Michael Cunningham, and Amy Siskind, new poems by National Book Award winner Mark Doty, and works by photographers Ruven Afanador, Christian Witkin and Torkil Gudnason.

Here's what editor in chief and friend of KIT212 Kevin Sesssums had to say about it:

This is the cover of the premiere issue of FourTwoNine magazine - for those who haven't seen it yet. There's much more inside than what is highlighted on the cover. Can't wait for everyone to read it and see it and hear the feedback in a few weeks. It all went to the printers this afternoon. Thanks to everyone on my staff who helped make our vision of this magazine come true. The hard work put in by my young co-workers has inspired me as their Editor in Chief. They are more than my young colleagues; they are my true and tested friends. 

On to No. 2.
