Publisher's VOICE

    Lights, camera, fashion and passion—this month’s style issue has been a long time coming. As a former stylist and designer, fashion has played an important role in my life. My first thought was… What is LGBT style? Once upon a time, most would say, “boys would be girls and girls would be boys”, but is that the truth in this new decade? How does one define LGBT style? Well… you don’t.

Dear Friends,

    As we wrap up summer 2010 and begin our journey into fall, we felt it pertinent to inform you about the many great up-and-coming Arts and Entertainment festivals, gallery openings and events for the 2010-2011 season. 

Dear Friends,

    Squirrels… "It’s gettin’ hot in here!" And heating up our cover is the sizzling Anna Kournikova. Miss Kournikova, along with Lindsay Davenport, Venus Williams Martina Hingis and Jan-Michael Gambill will all be burning up the court this month with the St. Louis Aces. Please join Vital VOICE on July 6 for a throwback to the 1970’s kick off party. Log onto stlouisaces.com for more information!

Dear Friends,

    We at Vital VOICE Omni-media are so honored to be the official presenting media sponsor for PrideFest St. Louis 2010. We are proud to bring you the 2010 PrideFest St. Louis Guide inside our June issue. It’s been several years since the PrideFest St. Louis Guide was produced in St. Louis.

Dear Friends,

    Now that spring is in full bloom, the travel bug has bitten Vital VOICE Magazine. Sure, it’s easy to hop a flight to some tropical destination or a glamorous city. However, the age-old adventure of the American road trip seems to be just what the doctor ordered.

Dear Friends,

    Vital VOICE is pleased to bring international comedian and cabaret songbird, Lea Delaria to St. Louis this month. You can catch her show on April 16 and 17 at NP, located at 4510 Manchester. For advance tickets click HERE. The Belleville native’s show is sure to shock and awe while tickling your funny bone.

Dear Friends,

    Welcome to the March Issue of Vital VOICE Magazine.

Dear Friends:

    I am honored and so very proud that you have embraced the new Vital VOICE magazine. My goal is to continue to celebrate how diversely amazing our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community truly is. For it is because of you that Vital Voice can showcase the many facets and modern lifestyle of today’s St. Louis LGBT community.

    Happy New Year and welcome to the second decade of the 21-century.  I am so proud and honored to welcome you to a new era in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) media for the St. Louis region.  The new Vital VOICE—Vital VOICE magazine—is tomorrow’s Omni-media publication and informative source that has been conceptually created just for you.  The new magazine format is a modern reflection of today’s community and each month we will strive to showcase all that is great and amazing about our LGBT lifestyle and community.
