I love that you’re all beatin’ down our doors for the next issue and I promise you it’s coming!

We’re making a double issue packed with all sorts of extra content to keep you all sorts of entertained until we can come back at you full force for the April issue.

There’s still ad space, so contact Ben or me or our esteemed sales man Bongo Oldbull for price sheets and information and we’ll get you included!

And of course, we’re still accepting those applications for bloggers, writers, columnists and models!

We’ll see you soon!

Hi, everyone - a dear SL friend has an infant baby who is struggling with a medical crisis. We are collecting donations to help her with medical bills, food, or anything else she may need for herself, her baby or her other two children in what is sure to be a very, very difficult several weeks. He’s a sweet, sweet child who is the victim of a terrible circumstance and his mom’s going to need all the time she can have with him in his limited days.

If you would like to contribute, please send your donation to me or to Babyhoney Bailey and we’ll add it to the total. Both Babyhoney and I will be posting our transaction histories as well as some proof of payment for verification.

We’ve already collected over $100,000L in the last 30 minutes, which will cover her for nearly two weeks - please help us help them!

Thanks,

Kristianne

Have you had a chance to read Depth and found yourself wondering what it would take to get your own name in its pages?

Not much, really! We’re looking for writers, photographers, graphic designers, models - pretty much anyone that can contribute in some way! Yes, Ben and I did the first issue all on our own - but the coma I fell in to when we finished was enough to get even me to loosen the controlling reins!

If you want to write for Depth, send a 300 word sample of your work as well as a brief statement of what you think you would bring to the Depth team to Kristianne Matfield or “Employment@depthmag.com” We are especially looking for a recurrent contributor for the “Seen on Scene” feature!

If you want to photograph or design for Depth, send 3 samples of your favorite work as well as a brief statement of what you would bring to the Depth team to Kristianne Matfield or “Employment@depthmag.com”

If you would like to model for Depth, please forward a portfolio that contains - 1 head shot; 1 full body shot and 1 shot of your choice as well as a brief statement about what distinguishes you from other SL models to Kristianne Matfield or “Employment@depthmag.com”

If you would like to be considered for contributions in the February issue, we need your portfolios as soon as possible as we’ve already started deciding assignments!

the fine print – Depth is not a modeling agency and will not be providing model representation. We will hire models on a shoot-by-shoot basis and compensate them for that time. Most photographers and writers will not be salaried but instead paid per submission. When submitting your portfolios, please be sure to label your folder with your name and the position for which you are applying!

I’ve gotten a few questions in the past couple of days about our policy for Review Copies of items.

So, here’s the schpeal:

You’re welcome to send us any items that you’ve created for possible inclusion in the blog or magazine. Sending items does not guarantee that the item will be featured. But we will look to review copies when styling shoots and it’s possible that your item will end up in a future issue.

If you decide to send something on to us, please box it or folder it up and send it on! A notecard of what you’re sending or anything we should know would be helpful. We’ll get back to you when we receive the item and let you know we got it!

Please label your box or folder “Review Item - Depth” as well as your name - ie, “Review Item - Depth - Joe Schmoe Designs”

Women’s Clothing; House Interiors or Architecture; Objects - Please send to Kristianne Matfield
Men’s Items Clothing - Please send to Benderoverand Hammerer

You will receive notice after press date if your item was used as well as information on what page to look for.

ALSO - if you think you have something that would be appropriate for one of the Capture characters, please indicate that in your note.

I think that’s everything but feel free to IM and ask!

Flip is open!

“You like potato; I like pohtahto…” Kris and Ben often seem like two sides of the same coin, but every once in awhile that coin takes a flip and they disagree! Whether they’re debating for the sexes or just for their own sensibilities, we’ll take a look at their two-sided discussion of the same issue. Agree? Disagree?

Pop in to the comments and tell us your side!
