mob candy
walking to work this morning, i saw a poster for this magazine called "mob candy"
according to wikipedia, it's the maxim for wiseguys. apparently, the first issue has a foldout poster of john gotti. what a hottie! not really, just wanted to add a rhyme. no comment from me - i was just interested in seeing what the heck this mag was all about. i'm still bumbed that Jane magazine is no longer being published!
hey, if this kinda thing floats your boat read further for wikipedia info:
The idea for the magazine came from a chance meeting in a Manhattan sushi bar between Tyrone Christopher, an African American from Milwaukee with a background in graphic design, and Frank DiMatteo, an Italian American from Red Hook, Brooklyn, and former magazine publisher and distributor of Screw magazine. The two developed the idea of a glossy magazine about Italian American Mafia culture. The name of the magazine comes from a line of mafia-inspired clothing owned by Christopher.
DiMatteo himself claims to have been brought up "in the life", and has been quoted as saying, "When I was a young guy I ran around with some people known to have a lot of contacts, let's put it that way."
