Who publishes thses two magazines Shanaynay and nem, Inc. ???????

I think that's it... they could be B. K. A. Can't Read Write a Damn Thang Entertainment. Or from the same people who publish Sister2Sister..

I won't by that magazine simply because its not for brothas... plus she seems to keep a lot of stuff going on. No wonder no one wants to talk to her.

Okay, why did I receive the February Issue of "Honey" magazine in MARCH?

Okay, why is it that I have not subscribed to this 'zine at all or ANY 'zine?

Okay, why is it that I am going to write using a big, black marker on the cover (on top of Alicia's face) that I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS ZINE!

THEREFORE, stop sending it to me?

Okay, why is it that I have to nip that chit in the bud, now?

Okay, why is it that these folks have some nerve?

Okay, why will they eventually send me a blip blip bill?

Okay, why is it that I will send the blip blip bill BACK to 'em with a nice note on the outside of the envelope?

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT A MINUTE!

I received a Honey magazine in the mail that I never subscribed to. Hmmm, I always wondered how this forum made money, are they selling our addresses?

Guess what...I just stopped by the house to pick up my mail at lunch time and low and behold, I had a copy of HONEY in my mailbox!!!! It's also the issue with Alicia Keyes on the cover. What's up with the article on vibrators?

Sorors - we may all be getting this magazine. Take a look at the address label and decipher the code on that label. Other Sorors I know have the same "sor" at the beginning of the subscription code! I was trippin off the address label because it has my maiden name hyphenated and there's only one use that I use my hyphenated maiden-married name.

I don't think it's coming from GC...

Well, I receive my mail in a different location than my residence, but I haven't yet seen Honey magazine. I'm quite a bit older than their target audience, however...

Update: My 74-year-old mother, a soror, got this magazine. Was irritated at "half-naked" Kelis, Pink, and Joi on the cover. But gave ups to Nick Chiles' piece on the racist NIC incidents that emerged late last year.

Mine doesn't say "sor", it says something else

I looked at the label, to see if I had any clues

, but it was my basic mailing information abbreviated.
WAIT: they misspelled my LAST name, so it isn't sorority related. That chit is spelled correctly, first, middle and last name...lmao!

1. it's not GC
2. it's not sorority related
3. ?
4. ?

I mean, at least send the LATEST issue.

It's the third week in March and you send a doggone February issue that I had already read in January when I was at my hair dressers.

Busters!

I read that dang issue at the hair shop just a couple weeks ago, too. I'm with you on that...at least send the latest issue.

So, now my sorority theory is out the window, I wanna know what's up. I'll be one HOT HONEY if I get a bill in the mail!

I got a HONEY issue too ... I immed sent it home with a friend that cared : -)
anyway, if another issue comes I will send it back and say I did not order it ... I got a bridal magazine in that same fashion ...and like Soror AKA2D '91 said, I wrote in black marker, I am not paying, because I did not order so please stop sending.
That's right I did!

I got the Honey Issue too, at work

. Since the only other publication I receive at work is .BVQ - Black College Quarterly, I can only surmise that THEY are the ones who "sold" my name to Honey

SeriousAKA · #11 03-28-2002, 04:44 PM

How come I got Honey too!!!! I was curious so I decided to read it. Why was I so mad when I fiished that I BEGGED my niece to tear it up. And do you know what she did? Left it in the middle of the floor, in pristene condition!

ClassyLady · #12 03-28-2002, 09:59 PM

Okay, my mother got the Honey issue too. She called me up asking me if I had subscribed to it her name. Mommy, don't you know me better than that.

I'm not surprised that she got it because she's on every mailing and telemarketing list from here to Pluto.

So did my mother, and my mother is 74 YEARS OLD. No woman in my family is Honey's target audience -- my only sister is 52 and I'm at least 10 years older than what I think is its demographic.

Hello Sorors & sisterfriends of AKA

Guess what our very own Sorority sold us out....
I got my second issue and this time it had a cover letter and I am sure you will all (SORORS) get the same. I already tossed it but it states something to the effect that because we are members we are getting a 1 year introductory subscription.... freaking GREAT....

They also say hope to see you at Boule ... so I am almost positive AKA did this. ... Now if it's not AKA, then I would suspect sisterfriends would get the intro letter also... however it would incorrectly state them as Sorors ... you see what I am saying...that would mean a listserve or chat (hint hint) website sold us out thinking we are all Sorors because we hang out in the same place...

What yall think?

SeriousAKA · #15 04-01-2002, 11:45 AM

I got my second issue too and I am NOT happy!!!!! This magazine is HORRENDOUS!!!! Why oh why would ANYONE think that we would want this? Another question: if Hney has all of our names and address AND if they got it from Corporate....what's next?
