Vie Magazine, A Classy Look at Pcity

There are a number of things I miss about the Pacific Northwest. I miss sitting on the sea shore watching the University of Washington rowing team scream by. I miss the fact that on any given day I can run down to the local speakeasy and watch some of the biggest names in music perform in a venue as big as my living room. And I miss our periodicals. The Stranger and Seattle Weekly were must reads for any and all hipsters on the Seattle scene. I can't say that I am a true hipster, but my heart bleeds indie rock, and my veins pump flannel.

Upon moving to the gulf coast I notice that there wasn't a magazine that I connected with. I realize that I am a picky punk, but I wanted something with the rawness of The Stranger when I was looking for a show to hit, and I also wanted something with some real design chops that clued me in to the movers and shakers in this community.

PcityLive.com has helped my jones for an indie magazine, but until yesterday I was at a loss for a true class rag. Yesterday, at the entrance to our design studio was a stack of the most beautiful magazines I had seen curbside in a really long time.

VIE (French for Life) was just sitting there, in beautiful black and white with a JPG like title and fantastic layout and design. I figured it was another Rowland Publishing gig because of the mat finish until I dug further.

Produced and published by Cornerstone Marketing & Advertising, INC in Grayton Beach, VIE is 114 pages of portfolio beauty. It's like holding Destin in the palm of your hand. It's a myraid of fashion, who's who, travel, and culture. It's a must read and yes, it is really that good.

VIE will be produced twice a year and is, no doubt, the coup de grace of Cornerstone's portfolio. We have no affiliation with Cornerstone or VIE, we are not getting a penny for this story, but we sincerely hope you will read it as we are certain you will quickly become a fan.

As a matter of fact we were so inspired by it we did an impromptu photo shoot to welcome them to the neighborhood.
