Unzipped Magazine Folds
The Sword (NSFW) reports that Unzipped Magazine has ceased operations.
The bell tolled for Unzipped on Friday morning when its owner, Regent Media's Paul Colichman, laid off over half its staff and told those who remained that the magazine was finished. The company is waiting to roll out the official announcement, but a couple newly-unemployed staffers leaked the sad news over the weekend to sources close to The Sword. Unzipped's blog is still up and running as of this morning, but it is likely that the two new issues currently waiting in the wings will never be printed.Last year Maverty Publications closed all seven of its gay porn titles: Black Inches, Honcho, Inches, Latin Inches, Mandate, Playguy, and Torso. Are there any gay porn magazines left?
