Empire was a gay man’s guide to life. Three issues into the launch, I came on board. With the staff of four, we switched gears from a NYC local guide to a national gay male-focused magazine on fashion, grooming, culture, health, travel and relationships. Chic and sexy was the vibe. Every page was shoppable. Look closely or you might miss model Channing Tatum who appeared in numerous fashion spreads before his acting career.
