How We Live Magazine's Fall Edition
Exciting and Fast-Growing Décor and Style magazine, How We Live Magazine, gains distribution with mega bookseller, Barnes & Noble.
Columbia, SC, November 29, 2006 --(PR.com)-- How We Live Magazine’s fall edition offers an exciting “ALL THINGS FALL” theme, chocked-full of aesthetic and interesting articles, including “Fall Home Fashions”; “Extravagant Media Centers” and the football-themed, “How We Tailgate”. Additionally, the innovative magazine focuses on the hot young actress, Monique Coleman, in “Dancing With A Star” as well as Pro Football Hall of Famer, Harry Carson; current NFL Carolina Panther, Travelle Wharton & NBA Charlotte Bobcat, Raymond Felton. Plus, it covers “6 Very Professional Ladies with Posh Pads.”
Five Fabulous Tips for Fall Decorating; “What’s Your Style”; and a peek into the skyrocketing careers of “Gimme The Mike” winner, Gena Chambers; America’s Next Top Model contestant, Christian Evans; and NBA Superstar, Raymond Felton, are just a few of the hot topics featured in How We Live Magazine’s stylish and sleek fall edition. Musical geniuses Marcus Johnson and Marlena Smalls and the Hallelujah Singers offer insight into their art and their passion.
“I’ve always known I wanted to do something in performance. I started the basics of performing when I was six years old; I started doing community theatre at eight; and I started keeping journals at ten years of age,” according to Dancing With The Stars and High School Musical starlet, Monique Coleman. Regarding her home, Coleman revealed that deep colors and hues (like cranberry and purple) tend to “move me and feed my energy.” How We Live Magazine Publisher, Dana F. Tucker, features Coleman along with NFL great and Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee, Harry Carson in the article, “Having A Talk with Harry Carson,” in her magazine’s much anticipated Fall 2006 Edition, aptly themed, “All Things Fall.” Making the most of every moment in life is of the utmost importance to Carson. “I have this plaque in my office that’s placed right before me and it reads, ‘All that you have can be taken in the blink of an eye’. Those are words that I live my life by because they’re so true.”
This edition of How We Live Magazine is chocked-full of sophisticated décor, interesting articles, inspiring stories, stunning interiors, and helpful tidbits on everything from falling home interest rates and recipes, to investment advice, preparing a will, and the top fall travel destinations. Lavish interior design is showcased in the magazine’s How We Decorate Department with “Fall Home Fashions”, while the upscale magazine, similarly, offers “5 Tips for Fall Decorating” – exemplified by the article’s eye-catching home décor. Befitting for the ritualistic fall past-time of football, exquisite home theatres and media centers are covered in Tech Savvy Home’s, “Extravagant Media Centers, Exceptional Entertaining”. Tailgating scenes and tablescapes appropriately round out the fall tradition. Other high-profile celebrities the innovative magazine features include NFL star, Travelle Wharton; Jazz Pianist, Marcus Johnson and singing sensation, Marlena Smalls of Marlena Smalls and the Hallelujah Singers; and a photo collage of entertainment and political heavyweights such as actor Morgan Freeman and former Atlanta and New Orleans Mayors, Andrew Young and Mark Morial, respectively.
A golden-voiced singer whose dreams become a reality; a basketball superstar who’s taking his game to higher heights, and a lovely fashion model who beat the odds to rise to national prominence are all featured in the issue’s inspiring Career Corner: How We Excel Department. Singer, Gena Chambers, winner of “Gimme The Mike - Charlotte”; NBA phenom and Charlotte Bobcat, Raymond Felton; and model, Christian Davis, of this season’s cycle of America’s Next Top Model discuss how they took their respective careers to the next level and how, in spite of their young ages, their sheer dedication, poise and determination allowed them to strive to reach their dreams with dignity and heart.
Its Arts-N-Affairs Department highlights both the artists and art that adds tradition and character to any home. The aesthetically pleasing and jaw-dropping art of famed and richly talented Post-Harlem Renaissance artist, Marion Griffin, is showcased here. “The Tie That Binds … The Art of Marion Griffin” captures the Virginia Beach-based artist’s rich background and adolescence that is woven into the tapestry of her beautiful art. Culture, history, and stories of Gullah tradition intertwine with soul-stirring gospel-flavor in the musical legend that is Marlena Smalls in “Marlena Smalls and the Hallelujah Singers: A Legacy of Love.” While in “Face Time with Accomplished Jazz Pianist, Marcus Johnson”, jazz savior faire and cool instrumental cuts define the “neck factor” movements caused by this young musical genius.
How We Live Magazine wittingly turns the table on its summer issue’s page-turning “Cool Men with Cool Cribs” feature by delving into the rich lives of six “Professional Ladies with Posh Pads”. Their unique individual décor style, their success at work, and their inner- and outer-beauty is chronicled and photographed in the gorgeous homes of these sophisticated and intellectual ladies from all over the country.
Additional features in How We Live Magazine’s fall edition include Kitchen Expert, Dr. Michael A. Smith’s, “Remodeling Your Kitchen? Here’s How to Choose a New Counter Top.” Helpful tips on how to preserve your lawn for fall are relayed in “Fall Lawn Preservation” and the always popular, “What’s Your Style?” showcases beautiful home décor that is replete within a culture of diverse talent. “How We Entertain” is a picturesque visual odyssey that captures beautiful people at beautiful events, such as the CW Network roll-out party, the National Urban League Conference in Atlanta, the Black Tie Network’s Political Forum and the How We Live Magazine Launch Party.
